Was just having a think about my best days in Scorched when I realised that during those best days, the actual best days were when on Skype with fellow players.

Other games I play, I chat with my mates while playing too.

Might it be worth putting a Teamspeak server up where players can jump in and join other players chatting.
It could also be somewhere the die hards hang out and chat, even if they don't have the game running.

Thoughts and opinions?


Teamspeak BTW, is just a voice chat program, but you don't have to add people to your list to chat to them, which is one of Skypes flaws.
Just join the 'Scorched3d' room, and that's it.

I've added a mumble server running on the game server, mumble is a free voice chat server (all of the other ones you need to pay one way or another). I use it for other games and it works well.

Download the client here : http://mumble.sourceforge.net/

Label : S3D
Address : scorched3d.game-host.org
Port : 64738
Username : <your screen name>
Password : S3D

Obviously I don't want the internet community to spam this server, but feel free to tell people its around and use it when ever you want (in game or otherwise). If you think it will be useful we can tell people its around via in game messages.

Wow, that was quick, thanks G man.

I'll look to put it on the FAQ (not, this is not me saying I'll fully update the FAQ).

Three old guys are out walking. First one says, 'Windy, isn't it?'
Second one says, 'No, it's Thursday!'
Third one says, 'So am I. Let's go get a beer.'
