So a while ago I did a quick search on Teamspeak but I was only presented with the option to pay for a host. However, now, a classmate explained that as long as you host on your own it won't cost a dime, aside from ISP service.
Since I currently have such a server (running Minecraft), I'd be able to set up a Teamspeak service.
For those who don't know, Teamspeak is a VoIP program, so you can voice chat in channels and stuffs. It's pretty light, and doesn't ask too much of your PC, especially compared to Skype. My Agency (guild) in Global Agenda used TS extensively for Strike Force coordination and so far it's proven to be most reliable.
I'd think that for PvP teams in Spiral Knights, most notably Guild Lockdown, it'd allow some pretty decent coordination. Standard clockworks could also benefit from it. Like my SCIENCE!
For the record, you don't need a microphone to use the system. If you don't, you can still log in and hear those who do, so if there's ever a 'party leader' you can tune in.
So then, if I were to set up this service, who would actually use it?
If I don't get a significant response then I probably won't even be bothered to try.
If I do, however, I just need to figure out my port forwarding on Linux and then set it up. Shouldn't be too hard, but it'd have to be in a week or two while I get through my current load of college assignments.
I don't think lag should be an issue.
