Guild using Ventrilo...

So, the guild I'm in is talking about using Ventrilo. The argument has begun on who pays and how much.

Are you in a guild that uses Ventrilo? If so, who pays for the service (assuming you are going through a third-party and not hosting yourself)? Guild leader(s)? Each member? Also, what is the payment from the guild members (i.e., gold, real $, etc.)?

If you're not in a guild that does this, then what is your suggestion in this situation?

Thanks for your input!

the last time I played a group MMORPG... we used Teamspeak... it was free to all clan members.

someone has to pay for the server hosting unless they run if off their own pc/server.
 
the client is free, but the server is not.

I've been lucky, we've always known someone that already has a server and just sets up a channel for us.
 
If you don't already have a server then it should be the guild leader(s). They should pay it no questions asked.
 
Thanks for your replies. Yes, xfire does have VOIP, but I've not used it in the past. I plan to test that out tonight. Ventrilo uses so little bandwidth and has worked so well for me in the past, that I tend to lean that way. As far as $ go, typical hosting starts at about $4.95/mo for 10 users and goes up from there by the amount of users.

And I do agree that the guild leader(s) should be responsible for paying 😉
