Sanctioned Software
I'd argue that Teamspeak is officially sanctioned as it was included with the US version of the Collector's Edition of the game. --Rainith 13:14, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I wasn't aware of that. We could mention that, maybe along with a note that other programs work fine with GW as well, even though not sanctioned by ANet. --Fisherman's Friend 14:12, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Damn, I guess that revealed my secret alter ego. ;) -- 14:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed the 'not sanctioned by ANet' line, I couldn't think of a good way to word it otherwise, and if they're going to include TS in with one of their products, I'd say that is sanctioning it. --Rainith 15:20, 23 February 2006 (CST)
 * As another note on the sanctioned stuff (even tho I removed that line from the article a ways back) at the Factions Press thing, they had us using Vent, so it seems to me that they have (un)officially sanctioned both TS and Vent. --Rainith 14:54, 17 March 2006 (CST)

Does anyone know of a good website or forum post that compares Vent and TS? Those two are the most popular so I'd like to know more about them. -PanSola 11:54, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * After a quick google search I couldn't really find anything like that. I can say that I've used TS and had no problems with it (it did take a little bit to get it set up working right tho).  --Rainith 15:20, 23 February 2006 (CST)
 * I beleive I can answer that question with this article. It's fairly accurate, from what I've read. --AlexMax 11:40, 19 May 2006 (CDT)

Miscellaneous\Fee Query
I was always under the impression that a client had to pay for access to Vent/TS (or any various voice chat service) servers. Just recently I was informed that that is not the case, and only the server has to pay. That was a little confusing to me, especially with this page's line: "Many voice chat programs are available as free trial versions for download (both server and client)"

I think this is worth noting in the main page, especially if this is status quo(is it?).

Also, alphabetical == yey. Evan The Cursed (Talk) 13:03, 17 March 2006 (CST)

Link to wikipedia
I'm not a big fan of the solution of using a link to Wikipedia here. That article is much more far reaching in scope, hitting all uses of VoIP, not just those related to game-play. --161.88.255.140 17:52, 24 April 2006 (CDT)
