The Servant of the Window
In todays online gaming communication between players has become essential to have a successful mission, during an vivid button mashing fight, it makes things hundred times easier if you are capable to verbally communicate between all the team members, whether you are struggling a tough boss or going for an arena rank, ventrilo is a necessity in order to really take control of these tasks, WoW has tried its hand at adding its own voice software into wow but so far has not been successful, so for now we want a substitute, that is where Vent comes in, this program is a lifesaver for all of us who were looking for a honest chat client that we could use over the internet while playing an MMO, in order to get started with vent, you will require a microphone of some kind, this can be any kind of mic that is compatible with your computer. A headset is something I would advocate as a stand alone mic is something you constantly have to fiddle with and watch your distance from it, with a headset you have it right on your head and mic is invariably in the right position, then if you have not already, download the vent program, it is a free utility available at the ventrilo web page, most probably if you are just starting out you wont have to care about setting up a ventrilo server, if someone else is requiring you to use this program then they should have that done, besides, you really should use it for yourself before sampling to host your own server, once you have it installed you will need to configure a few things to get it going, first you will want to create a user name ; this is what people will see when you are in the vent channel.
