Cracking down on Ventrilo violations
To reiterate one of our rules: #4 Everyone must download Ventrilo and have a working microphone. The reason why is listed in the rules:
Guild leaders have played PVP games for almost a decade in some cases and are not used to reading to communicate with teammates.
For the most part everyone is pretty good about downloading the program and getting on Vent when we PVP (the only time it’s required). But I’ve heard all kinds of excuses for why they can’t talk/don’t have a mic:
- My dog/cat/child ate my microphone last week
- I have a cold
- My computer is in the living room and I don’t want to disturb people
I am here to tell you the excuses will no longer fly. From now on, everyone who is going to PVP with the guild will have a working microphone and should not be shy to use it.
More harping below…
There is no good reason not to have a microphone. They are cheap. And as Huller said earlier today, even if he flings his mic across the room in frustration, he can manage to drive to Best Buy and get a replacement the same day.
See the following examples I found by doing an Amazon search for headset microphone:
Noise canceling, two-eared headset with mic for $18.98 (for maybe when you have to ignore the family)
One-eared headset with mic for $14.99 (maybe for if you’re listening for the pizza guy)
Lots of price points in between.
What are you waiting for? It’s Warsong weekend coming up!
