Had a look at the teamspeak faq the other night but was more confused about the payment system after I looked at it!! Im not looking to set up one for a sever or anything, just be handy to have a private channel when needed for a few friends Or does anybody know of good alternatives, dont mind a small subscription fee but dont want to spend loads on it
deceit wrote: » I have a teamspeak server, if you want I can create a private channel for you on that which would be Password Protected? I do it for anyone that asks and as its not for profit I will be increasing my user limit to a few hundred soon. If not and you want your own I can help you set it up in linux as I have built my own.

I was on gaellords.com epoch server for awhile, I didnt use teamspeak though was using direct comms as I was playing solo, although I was mostly playing at night so was usually empty:( Just got 2 friends to join the master race lately and be great to have decent voip regardless of the game. EDIT: As a matter of interest how would you build one with linux? Do you use two seperate machines? I have no clue about linux by the way!!

I just found teamspeak fairly intuative to use so decided to stick with that. Im still unsure of the way they charge/dont charge for it. Found there faq unhelpful, or at least badly worded.

Mumble is pretty good also, dont know about the pricing schemes for them though

It stays up mostly (I say mostly as i've had to work on the esx server for a bit before xmas so was off for about an hour per week for 3 weeks until I rectified the issue so 3hrs downtime). Its up the last 38 1/2 days atm though without powering off .

My dual cpu dell servers are much heavier on power than this though. I'm not running any game servers at the moment but have been planning for a while to use my other servers as game servers, just never got around to it.
