Please click here to download the latest Ventrilo client.

First, a quick point:-

  • During times of general use, you may find the DMs using the DM channel.  We're not being mean, rude or ignorant, we're just discussing story matters that will only ruin the immersion.

Server name: DC's Official Ventrilo Server
Availability: 24/7
Hostname or IP: voice.dragoncoast.org
Port number: 44157
Password: Conan
_________________________________________

1. This is a self-moderated channel in the sense that we trust the user to determine what is inappropriate for the audience at the time. Common sense applies, and please no fooling around with obviously taboo subjects.

2. When there's hardcore roleplay going on, the channel usually goes a little quiet. Please respect this and keep the chatter down. If you notice that your enane babble is echoing back at you, you're probably being ignored.

3. Everyone is welcome.

4. We welcome old friends who don't necessarily play DC any more, but please don't spam us with your Counterstrike / Guildwars crap. If you need to discuss how you're pwning another game, set up your own channel please.

5. Needlessly negative comments about DC will earn you a swift kick.

6. As will constant bitching...

7. Have fun.

8. Respect others on the channel.

9. If you're utterly blind 'druuank' and you're told to sod off and sober up, please do so.

10. If any user is concerned about any element of their experience of DC's Ventrilo Channel, please bring the matter up with a member of the staff.

Some funky sounds tweaks!

From the old forums a few useful tips have been scavenged. All of them courtesy of Slyd. You can find these below:

How do you manage sound?
Here is a method on setting Ventrilo up so that everyone comes at the same volume. If someone comes in too loud, it's turns them down. Someone comes in too soft, turns them up.

Here's how:

- Go to Setup

- Enable Direct Sound

- Select the SFX Button

- Select Compressor and click Add.

- Under Compressor Properties use the following settings

- Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be. (I use 15)

- Attack = 0.01

- Release = Around 500

- Threshold = Around -30

- Ratio = 100

- Pre delay = 4.0

Depending on your computer, the settings mentioned might vary a little, take some time to tinker around.

Obscene Language

We're not so rabidly conservative that we strictly forbid the use of the odd swear word on this channel.  Instead we ask that you exercise some restraint and consider other users please.

You do not need to wait for a member of DC staff to inform you that your language is a problem; common courtesy should dictate that you practice a little moderation once this matter's brought to your attention.

For anyone that is offended by excessive language, I'd suggest a polite request is directed at the offender.  If there's still a problem let a member of the staff know.

As the Ventrilo server's very popular these days we've had instances where people have been unable to log on because of idle people who are AFK leaving themselves logged in.

If you know you're going to be off for an extended period, please make room for someone else.

My credit card went past the expired date so a payment was missed.  I've just updated them with the new card details and made the payment.  Server will be back up as soon as they flick the on switch.
