I hate vent/ts, but I'm in the minority

With you on that; i never use it. Last thing i want to hear are a bunch of nerds and some people really SHOULDN'T be talking :-)

But along with the joke fest - Twitch not classic. Spellbook classic but good riddance to that.

I remember having DSL when Kunark/Velious was out. Maybe I was one of few cuz my dad had it because of his work.

I was in beta for cable Internet in 99. It was weird set up: download through cable, but upload by dial-up.

I do get the reluctance to use TS, there are a lot of times where I just don't feel like hearing it either. But it does allow for a more natural interaction and better development of a community. In most of the guilds I have been in, the people who don't hang out in the TS are usually kinda looked at as not "really" being part of the guild.

That being said I have been in some guilds TS that I would never go into again, but I have also joined guilds where the TS allowed me to feel like part of a community and improved my gaming experience tremendously. If you are in a guild where the TS makes your experience worse...then you just need a different guild or community lol.


TL;DR don't be scared of TS it can be fun

People didn't have high speed internet either! Throttle everyone to 56K speeds! Then throttle the CPU and memory to 1999 specs! Then force everyone to go buy a CRT monitor with max 640x480!

I'd agree with that... TS should be inviting, even if you're mic shy.

I will only say this:

on classic, my typing skills became so awesome I could have toured the country giving exhibitions.

I always liked that about back then. My guild did not use voice chat of any kind, and we would still get organized and give detailed instructions just via /tells and /gu or /shout if we had the zone to ourselves. And we got stuff done, just using dumb ol' typing lol.

Those days are gone, OP, but I agree with the sentiment. I laugh when I think about what the logs must have looked like during our raids. All the jokes, and the chatter, all the instructions etc., all just typed out.

It was fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Me too.

But people who play in other than 1-1/3 ratio should be banned! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
