Looks like I am the resident jerk again. The problem with using teamspeak, or other programs like it when playing our little hp server is simple. Not everyone will use it. One of the big reasons JB is now hosting World of Harry Potter, instead of my hosting HPinNWN, was we both wanted more players. We both decieded that the biggest deterent for new players was infact the new haks. So, we swicthed back to the version that attracted the most amount of players.

Teamspeak, and the equivilant are great programs. They how ever are not a good idea for the server. HP gets way too many new guys logging in to check it out. If isntead of a PW we were running a set campain with the same few players only then, yeah teamspeak is a good idea. for a PW which is what is being run, it is not.

To the new guy logging in, and playing for the first time, seeing everyone standing around and saying nothing ingame, because they are on teamspeak, is short of nothing but rude. Even if we advertised that team speak is what is being used, not everyone is going to want to use it. Some people cant run NWN and other programs at the same time due to hardware issues.

We have players now, that enjoy playing characters of the opposite sex. There is nothing wrong with doing so, but interms of RP, teamspeak doesnt work well for the RP. It's harder to believe a boy is infact a girl, with a deep man voice.

I cant speak for everyone who helps make HP happen, nor would I want too. To me, teamspeak falls more in the deterant collum than bonus. It would be great if nwn had the features of teamspeak built in, esp from a dm standpoint. I know JB would love to give up typing forever in game. The Cons are there though.

You are lucky that I havent bothered on coming there. If I did and heard the word "lol" being said instead of just laughing out loud I would be forced to do an extempore lobotomy on the user.

Seeing all of this action back on these boards is making me spaz out... I need to reinstall NwN.

*twitch* Maybe I can get it working on my other comp once I fix it, since i love to screw it up. =]

*runs off* :)

Edit: I hate you all, I'm re-installing it now. =P

Okay, I lied, I don't hate any of you, even those of you I don't know yet, I love you too. Yep.

And now, I watch CEP download, NwN install, and run back and forth from my other comp to see how the Ubuntu 7.04 install is coming along. =]

The Vent is run by a group of other dude guys, but our channel is passworded so no one except those that have read this thread would be able to get in..and also the Server Admin, but he's a cool guy so it's fine. My name is ThingsMuffin on the vent btw so just in case someone logs in and is like "omg who are deez people?" you will prolly recognize me. <3 Peace
