What is Ventrilo?
Ventrilo is software that allows you to speak to other members on a specially hosted ventrilo server using a microphone or headset over the internet. In essence, allowing you to talk to your guildmates or friends with your real voice.
Ventrilo is a very useful program in a game based around PvP, as it allows a level of coordination that cannot be acheived using typing alone.
Ventrilo can be aquired at: www.ventrilo.com
It is free software, so you don't have to worry about being able to afford it. And even if you don't have a microphone, you can still come on and listen. Its well worth getting.
Once you have aquired ventrilo, and signed up for the webpage and been accepted, you can find the current ventrilo server information for the guild on the webpage.
