It isn't a bad idea, but I don't think it would have the results you might want. Most likely, if we had a common ventrillo server to make use of, people would just use it for playing on their own particular servers and divide up into rooms for groups/raids. If you want a way to communicate with people here other than posting or IRC, the best alternative is using our IRC. Unfortunately, not many people actually make use of it. And, even the ones that do may not always be so helpful. Plus, if you are looking for a quicker response, the IRC is normally not a great way to go. Most of the time, someone will ask a question and if they stay on long enough, they will probably get an answer (could be hours later). Normally, people join and ask a question and then log off again after waiting like 5 minutes without an answer :P

If/when you actually catch someone on IRC to help out, it can be quite useful. I know Secrets has answered quite a few questions there, and I have had a few long chats with people there. It all really depends on what times you are on to chat for who you might get a response from. Though, you can always slap Rogean with a large trout and probably get his attention :P

I think most of the people you might want to speak with would probably not be willing to join a voice chat server. Responding to a question a few hours later can work ok on IRC, since you see the old text messages, but that wouldn't work at all on voice chat, lol. Unless it was really popular and had many knowledgeable people joining it and answering questions frequently, I don't think it would be worth-while. Maybe someday, if our community ever grows to 10X what it is now.
