I am considering renting a TS3 server, but I was going to check with Caidh before I did it and see if he would be kind enough to uninstall TS2 on the server he is running it on and install TS3.

If not, what are the thoughts for those DAOC (and some WOW) folks to migrate to TS3 in some fashion?

The features are super hawt!

Did they finally after about 5 years of development get it running?

Yes, I've already downloaded the Client...

[caidh]

Sure - I'll take a look at it this week.  Is the current client compatible with the new server version or will everyone have to upgrade their clients first?

Is TeamSpeak 2 compatible with TeamSpeak 3?
TeamSpeak 2 is in no way compatible with TeamSpeak 3. Keep in mind TeamSpeak 3 has been completely re-written in C++, introduces new features, and the protocol itself has been completely re-engineered. Therefore, you cannot connect to a TeamSpeak 3 server using a TeamSpeak 2 client, nor can you connect to a TeamSpeak 2 server using a TeamSpeak 3 client.

Question!  If you're having to pay to rent a TeamSpeak server, why not rent a Ventrillo one instead?  (I'm not sure of the price difference, so its an honest question--of course, you all know that I am biased toward vent.)

Damn, Caidh is fast.  I will Email you some thoughts, because there are some things to consider... not that you won't see them.

But, yes... TS3 requires a new client because TS3 and TS2 are completely separate.

Bladock, the reason we use to always use TS is because it's free to non-profit entities... like Guilds... and Caidh was nice enough to set up space for us.  So, our TS has been "free" thanks to Caidh.  Free is king, if it is still doable.

Although, the WOW group does have a Vent server.  

So...
1. We have a Vent server.
2. TS3 beats the pants off of Vent
3. If we can do TS3 in place of the TS2, even better

[Zinkani]

Depending on how Caidh does the NFP license we can have more users on the TS3 server than we will likely ever need.  I know many people dislike TS2 but I am not a big fan of Vent either, it is in general a pain all around.  After looking at some of the features of the TS3 software it looks like it's a really nice upgrade to TS2.

As long as I can talk and listen to others talk, it really makes no difference to me what we use.

He is looking into it.  Several major issues (neat features for some, but issues nonetheless) with TS3 features:

1. they allow file uploading, that can be bad for different reasons
2. poking is a new feature, not necessarily a good feature and could cause problems if everyone can do it  (including Guests)

Funny... I didn't see "Tea Bagging" among the listed TS3 features.

There must be a feature in TS3 so that if you say something at a certain volume level, it will repeat it four times at the same volume level.

I'm going to bring down the Team Speak 2 server and bring up Team Speak 3 shortly.  There may be a few minutes where both are unavailable.

Once its back up - the anonymous password will be the same and everyone who has a regular username/password should have the same one.  If there are problems, let me know via PM and I'll bring back the TS2 server while we work them out.

Guess this means we better get the client downloaded huh?  Thanks for the heads up Caidh.

Sorry about the shortish notice on it - been emailing back and forth with Ovatha about it and I should have posted more here.

Anyway - its up and running now.  I don't remember what the 'old' password was though.  Can someone PM that to me and I'll set it to be the same?

Done

[caidh]

Thanks Zink - its set to the old password now.  I still need to put Ovatha and everyone else in as server admins.  The new TeamSpeak is very .... obtuse in terms of server management.

If anyone sees me connected to it today before 5, I'm at work and don't have the sound and mic available so don't think I'm ignoring you.
