Happy Happy gaming with ventrilo
Posted on 10.16.07 by templeton @ 12:44 am

Stumbled across www.Freesentriloserver.com when looking for a quick way to setup a vent server for 15 people so we could play some Quake1 and taunt each other. Its a pretty slick setup, no tricks or gimmicks, just first come first serve. Pick a size,location and it sends you the information to login and manage the server, didn’t take long to setup accounts for everybody.

I think we used the server for in total like 6 hours, had zero issues and the premium codecs are something that need to be heard to be believed. Worked perfect with Quake & Battlefield2 (Blew away ingame voice).

If you need ventrilo server for 10-50 people on the cheap (FREE), Definately check out freeventriloserver.com
