Now what is Ventrilo you may ask? In simple terms it's paid skype but let me explain. You don't pay anything I do. For anyone who joins my server its free as the air around you.

How do join?
Step 1. Download Ventrilo. Now depending on your OS, Be it Mac Pc you need to find the download and program for each said os.


Which download you pick is at your own choice. If you can't tell if you have a 64 bit computer its best to just go with the 32 bit version. (32 bit programs will run on a 64bit but not the other way around.)

Step 2. Install. I think there isn't a need for a picture for this but just follow the instructions on screen just as you would for a basic install of any program.

Step 3. Making your Name and adding a server to connect to.

After install you should see something like this when you launch ventrilo. (Ignore where it saids uruk and Mine for you it will be None.)


To make your username (which is what everyone will see you as while in ventrilo) Click the ->


After that a Window will open


From there click "New"


When you click new a window will open asking for a Name


After picking your name click ok and you should come back to the "Setup User window." From there click "Ok"

Now that you have a name set up for Ventilo, you need to add the server which your connecting to.
that is done by clicking the "->" across from server as seen in the picture


Once clicked a window will open.


Click where it saids new and a Window asks for a name. This is Irrevlant name it what ever you wish. For the example of this I'll name it Iuro's Ventrilo.

Once named click OK and you go back to the previous window but every isn't greyed out.


Now there is where you enter the Server info.
Hostname or ip: Chi3.ugt-servers.com Port: 22771


After this click ok and you should be put back to the main ventrilo screen.


ALMOST DONE!!!

There are some more steps but as problems arise i'll go into detail about them.


Setting a push to talk buttion and General set up.

With ventrilo open click setup


When in setup make sure everything that is click and unclicked in the following picture is.
[size=200]FOR THE TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE IGNORE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DEPENDS ON THE PERSONS COMPUTER DO NOT USE IT LIKE I HAVE IT SET UP[/size]



Then click ok. Also your hot key for push to talk doesn't need to be Left Ctrl it can be anything you want.

as problems come up i'll amend this.

Awesome guide.

Seems like a more complicated version of TeamSpeak, though.
Of course, TeamSpeak also gives you the option to just type.

Its really easy to use Abbie, I like how you press a button to talk.

I need to redownload this.  :

Can any one join the vent? x:

Yea any one can join in. It's mine so i do have some random friends in there. All of them are friendly. The max the server can hold is 15 people but i can upgrade it back to 32 if use would spike.

Major bump, come on people, get in ventrilo.

no skype

Skype sucks, it doesn't have push-to-talk.

Is Ventrilo used more often than Skype?

Skype is used more.
But Vent isn't laggy.

Uruk, me, and several others that aren't in the clan are always on when we play rs. Usually more of us are on in the afternoons/evenings.

I might download it.

Skype is used more because i requires less to set up AKA Technologically challenged people.
I don't like Skype because A. Uses a FUCK TON more bandwidth and B. I HATE BACKGROUND NOISE. 

I downloaded it.
