As folks have noticed, the 'official' supported Ventrilo server has changed to my own. I've actually had this one for almost two years now, but despite it being a 25-person server, I've maybe had at most 5 or so people in it at a time. I figured that should probably change, with the odd occurrence with Cressy's Vent.
For those curious, apparently when Cressy upgraded her Vent, they deigned to assign a new server to her, instead of simply upgrading her current one. Being the nub I am, I decided to jump the gun and turn my own Vent into the 'official' server one. At this point, it will actually be expiring on the 22nd of this month. I have no issues with paying for it out of pocket, but if this is the case, I'll likely leave it how it is - 25-man, and only Grunts+. (Speaking of which, Grunts can access the Vent info by going to the Off-Topic forum, and checking at the top. You'll see a new subforum regarding Ventrilo).
If folks are feeling generous, you are free to Donate to help offset the cost. It will be about $72 for another year. If I get an unexpected flurry of support, I'll probably end up opening it up to any member of the server (Peon+, that is), as well as upgrading the capacity. Perhaps I'll even provide private channels for sizeable guilds. I don't know, yet!
Again, donating is totally optional, and will not bestow any effects in-game (they wouldn't matter, soon, anyway! Impending restart!)
