TGC have recently released a new service, a teamspeak server.

As the thread has been stickied, its getting about 1/10th of the average number of views for this board. (289 in 9 days).

So I thought that ill make an unstickied thread about it to get more people to use this very useful service.


Heres the link:

Agreed, the TS server has been pretty much dead. It'd be nice to have some more people on it, and have it active so there's something to discuss.

Daniel put time/money into making the server, it's a shame to see it go unused.

Im guessing the problem is, as certainly in my case, that most people with teamspeak installed have it installed because they already have a regular server they speak to their friends on, and you cant be in 2 servers at once, so daniels gets second priority.

I think it's a good thing to have, but you won't find me on there randomly nattering to you clowns! I have friends for that. But I will be sure to use it if/when I need to talk shop to someone on here about a game etc. I think many people may feel the same. There has to be a reason to go onto a teamspeak server and talk to someone. That reason is normally coop for a multiplayer game.

Since when was broadband fast enough to voice chat? MSN file transfers are 0.2-0.3kb/s.

sounds like an msn issue. if it was broadband than this website will take forever to download.

Since around 1998 or 1999? Not to mention VOIP phones which have been around for a long time.

While I think this idea is kinda neat, I wonder what the purpose of just talking to random people is? There are friends on Steam that I will chat with in-game, and people in real life. If I need help troubleshooting some code I'd just as soon copy and paste it in the forums or IRC than "say" it.

Well, I don't know about most people but I really don't like things like voice chat or even phones. I don't like talking to someone unless I can see them, I'd rather just use chat or something.

lol? Sorry, but where have you been the last 10 years? Skype, Ventrilo, TeamSpeak are widely used voice chat programs, and it is now pretty much a standard feature in popular online shooter games.

Thats just because MSN File transfer protocol sucks. It always has such small speeds.
