Free-to-use TeamSpeak Server

SondreGrande

I have for a while been annoyed how grouping in PvP can turn out as a mess, and that it would be usefull to have groups to communicate instead of having to write stuff - then get killed while writing. So I present to you a free to use teamspeak server! It is currently 100 slots, so not that much, but will expand if many uses it regularly. When connecting to the server you can set your own server groups to show other what faction/role you are playing as.

This is not a guild server or a community, simply a tool that can make your playtime easier and more social.

Please connect to ts.tamrielcentral.com:10567 and start playing!

!!The server is up and running, but new channels and groups are made, so expect changes on the server on-the-fly!!

To forum moderators: I am really sorry if this goes agaist any forumrules, but believe it will be fine as there is no way for me to earn any sort of money from this. Also, sorry if its in the wrong sub-forum, but didnt think it fitted in Guild Recruitment or any other

Currently 100 slots, but will be expanded if needed Server was setup today and wanted to test if there was any intrest in it, so really depends if people uses it

Wow very generous of you . Maybe good idea for pickup groups to communicate and be more organized .

I don't really see the point of this since most guilds on PC already have dedicated TS servers or Discord servers and people are often invited to them for group stuff. And to be honest, Discord does a better job of providing a free server structure for voice coms than TS does and can support any number of users without needing to expand.

Even if there may be a 'better' way, it's still a nice gesture from the OP and even though I would never use it, I'm sure it will come in handy for at least a few, which is what matters

I may be a bit paranoid but any server admin can see quite a lot from a user joining a teamspeak, just something to keep in mind.

Just as with almost everything on the interwebs! Whenever you use a service that utilizes your IP it can be tracked and information can be recieved from the IP. Hell, even websites are not even safe from this. As for the server, yes I can see the IP to the people connecting, but luckily I have better things to do than ddosing and other stuff

It's not meant as a "the sky is falling" type of warning but an observation of safety. To that point though there is a great deal of difference in a company collecting metadata (most likely for yet more advertisements ) and a private anonymous party doing so.

Ofcourse, I understand your point with safety, people should always travel the interwebs with caution, just like you should not start a skooma-drinking-contest with a khajiit. Just wanted to clarify that its true I can see users ips, but that they can be safe with me.

I must admit, I apologize for leading this conversation on until you openly stated that. In the interest of those..less familiar with IT though I felt it was necessary. I do believe this is a generous thing you're doing for the community and wish you the best of luck.

Perhaps you might be more concerned with that opposing faction player joining your TS channel?

Nice offer OP, but there will always be people who like nothing more than to take advantage.

Just get discord. So much better than TS and its free

People can get my information on the internet!!! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?

Seriously, though - I can see a few situations where people might not want to use their guild TS , not want to set up a separate account, but still want to communicate by voice.

A big 'Thank You' to @SonreGrande for trying to help the game!
I think it's time ZoS steps up and offers a Group voice option on PC, We are heard how bad console /zone voice thing went down. But think about it... /zone wide voice channel? What could go wrong? I wish I had a /option to auto turn-off in /zone text chat in some zones.
Zos's are ppl that learn from their mistakes, This game can be too fast paced for text chat, and doing the different voice set-ups to make it work is a REAL PAIN.
Please ZoS, make a good working group only voice chat and I'd pay 'CROWNS' for that.

WillhelmBlack

I'm seeing a lot of players pushing the boat out helping other players recently. If only ZOS were so kind to give out free TS servers or sorting out the current market regards to gold mats, maybe just by fixing hirelings. Just nice stuff, nice stuff is nice.

Nermy

Nice offer mate, I can see a few drawbacks though.

We have used TS in Cyrodiil from launch and you have to really careful about spies and people abusing it. Also, some people just won't use TS for PvP, they don't know what their missing!

Have said that, it's a fantastic idea and I hope it works, though I would worry about cross-faction stuff dragging it down.

Illurian

This is a really nice gesture! But to anyone who wants to make their own free voice/chat server, I would suggest installing Discord. It is easy to use and very reliable in my experience. It's also completely free!
