Hey /v/, what do you use to talk to friends while playing? TS is nice but hosting a server costs and leeching on other's servers like a parasite is just terrible. Curse Voice is a no. The fuck do they even do? And it has no server thing, booh. Recently got on Discord.gg, seemed good and nice but turns out to be a fucking hog on RAM with its terrible atom shell client and all that shitty memes. What do you use? Really want to get off Discord shit.
Mumble.

Mumble also needs to pay for a server, I'm not that dedicated to buy a server just for Mumble, and leeching is bad
Discord isn't perfect, but it's the best available.
TS is what I use. Costs to run a server aren't that bad at all if you do some shopping around. It depends on how many people you want the server cap to be, but for a 30 slot I pay 8 a month, and that's not even the lowest I could go.

>Mumble also needs to pay for a server
Not if you host one yourself and it barely puts any strain on whatever you host it on. There are several public servers as well to just connect on.
>>332523989
You don't need to pay for a mumble server you actual dip. Learn to computer.

i used skype, no reason to use it anymore tho
Browser client is garbage and so is the software itself.
Skype with friends mostly
Discord I made by a guy with a track record of getting investors, getting a massive userbase then selling it to chinks for a ton of money and it gets abandoned because it's a giant money sink. Enjoy using discord for the next two years then kiss it goodbye because it will either be abandoned or so filled with ad cancer you'll wish it had been
Xfire

>Mumble costs money

I can't leave my PC on 24/7. I don't have a RasPi to leave on 24/7. Even if I had a RasPi, I would not have enough network bandwidth to handle a server with more than 2 people connected. Lucky you with your wonderful internet and caring daddy paying electricity bills
When I had a friend that would play games with me, we would use Skype.

Well some people don't like sharing their IP with others even if they're friends. Maybe they pass it around to a friend of a friend and then rip you.

Sounds like 4chan, getting bought by Jackie 4Chan

As if he can sell a project that has no self sustain. Wow personal info and chat logs of thousands of autistic redditors are sure worth that $40m that you wasted on said project, not like you can get that info anywhere else but for cheap.

There are also free servers, stop being underage and computer illiterate.
>>332525863
Well don't just state "Mumble also needs to pay for a server" as a fact then get upset when people say you're wrong. Also if you can't host maybe you could tell your friends about free mumble servers and they could help you out.
my guild used to use mumble but the guy who owned it sucks so we moved to discord. discords okay i guess.
i'm usually with mys/oon skype no matter what, though. our record call was 99h30mskype fucking crashed 30m before 100h.

If you don't host yourself, a 5 slot TS server is JUST 5 buckaroos.

>weeb promotes discord
What a shocker.
>>332526668
>it's okay i guess
>promoting
okay?
unless you think that the "guy who owned it sucks" part is shitting on mumble. i meant the guy who owned the server for our guild.

are you gay, a girl, or one of those dudes who doesn't like the way marriages work?
>>332526937
yeah one of those. not the latter, though.
mumble, could host it at home but I'm tinkering with my server so I host it on a remote VPS for $15/yr, recently upgraded the plan though to something a little beefier to run other junk for $24/yr.
I don't even pay it, people are kind enough to put some money towards it which pays for the entire year.
>>332525863
You could literally buy a used raspberry pi for $10, a cheapo SD card and run it off that. Mumble is not resource intensive.
>>332526987
just wondering

Look up openfeint, it's a pretty standard practise to build up these sorts of social things operating at loss then once your 10 mil loan runs out you sell it for 50
I don't have friends
