I would like to see TI vent become a VERY active server. It is HUGE and has accommodations for every occasion... wargames, bgs, guild chat, lounges, staff chat AP Faction chat etc! I personally would like people to get home and open up TI while their vent is connecting to TI vent so they could hang out and talk with their friends! Although this is not a perfect world (but it's the only one we got so lets make the most of it eh?) =P
Perhaps word needs to be spread about the TI vent. Either most people don't even know it exists, or they're just more comfortable with their guild's/friend's vent servers.
I'm currently using my cousins Mumble server and I bring my guildies and friend there. I like mumble more than vent. But the biggest reason for me for using mumble is that I got all my irl friends on there.I really like the idea of having a TI vent, it's great for those who wants to find new friends or talk to current friends.
Recently got a new computer, so I don't have many vent servers saved and I haven't bothered looking for them. Even if I did have them again I'd still prefer Skype.
I log in once in a while, hoping that some people from the game's I'm in are online... usually I just hop in some friends' vent and queue realid though... maybe if more people used the TI vent, pugs wouldn't be so... puggish
