INTRO:

In short, Ventrilo - in short, Vent - is a Server in which mulitple clients connect and are able to communicate verbally. This means, you are able to talk to people all around the world - or just up the road.

"VENTING'' WITH =(eGO)=™

The links above will get you started. Once you have connected, you will see many rooms - from a main lobby to game channels. These channels, for the most part, do not require a password. This means that you as a user are free to connect to the server and join most any room you want.

However

Many rooms are password protected. They are leadership rooms, private event / meeting rooms, and some league/gaming rooms.

Note:

On occasion, and depending on the situation - request, rooms that would normally be locked with a password may become so without notice.

CHANNELS EXPLAINED

Channels, or "Rooms" - are locations in the Vent server where users meet. Much like rooms in a hotel or apartment. They are apart of the main server - but private and only those in the room can hear what is said within it.

Lobby
This is the default room and the room you are automatically placed in when you first connect to Vent. This room is muted, meaning no one will hear you talk when you join.

New Recruit rooms
These are intended for recruiting and for newer members to hang out it. Most members of the P.S.C [formerly Recruters, formerly Admin Recruiters] frequent these rooms. They are always available for question and is where newer members are directed to when they have questions.

Ofcourse, we do not require new members to stay in these rooms - eGO vent does have 250 slots....

General Rooms
These rooms don't really have a purpose beyond just existing. They are for general use. Some that are popular are:


  • Hanging out
  • A meeting place for people
  • Small meetings [less than ten (10) people]
  • A place to hang out when in game not asociated with eGO
  • Music bot rooms
  • Work rooms
  • Interview rooms
  • <--That is a bullet point
Divisional Rooms/Lobbies
Mostly the same as the These are rooms you join when in a specific game. Being in these channels does a few things without words

  • Shows that you are in a game
  • Shows that you are willing to communicate while in that game
  • Would like others to join you while you play that game
  • like talking while playing
  • <--That is a bullet point

Misc Use Rooms [MUR's]
Examples of these rooms are:

  • Mapping Channel
  • Media Team
  • <--That is a bullet point
These are basically rooms that are made because at one time a room was used for this purpose enough to make a dedicate room for it. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM - They are there for a reason


D.A.K

Where you are sent when Respawn or Gen-ig get fed-up with you, or you go AFK for a certain amount of time

F.A.Q | Notes



Q: How do I make it so that people can actually hear me talking?
A: You use the Hot-key, this is a requirement in the Edge Gamers Vent server. It can be set in the "Setup" menu on the upper right hand corner of your vent window.

Q: What is that text I see beside some people's name?
A: That is a comment. You can set it by clicking your comment button found on the right, top corner of Vent


Q: How do I mute other users?
A: Right click said user, go to "user", then select "Mute"

Q: How do I locate admins in Vent?
A: You have to get to know us, "Admins" are not specified in Vent

Q: How do I find Leadership quickly, I have a question/concern?
A: Leadership members have the following tags placed in the begining of their names
[advisor]
[DL]
[Council]
[ComMgr]

Q: I see people with "iTunes" information next to their name, How do I do that?
A: Right click YOUR Name. Go to "Integration" and choose the player you have open [iTunes, Winapp, or WMP]

**************************************************

I will update the F.A.Q as often as I can. This guide was typed up by me, myself, and I. Misquoting or claiming it as your own will lead you down a path you won't return from.
