Vent is currently down

[LT]

Hey just wanted to let you guys know that the Vent is down due to issues with the provider (Ventrilo) itself. This has nothing to do with payments or any financial discrepancies. It should be back up tonight. Again Sorry for any inconvenience.

This is the info our provider (hypernia) is saying:

Hi,

We are working to fix it as fast as we can. At this time we are waiting for Ventrilo to get back our voicemails and emails in regards to why our license was suspended.

We have confirmed we are all paid up and are always on time, so the error message is not the correct reason.

The best we have gathered so far is our license was suspended by accident instead of another Ventrilo provider.

We have posted a new announcement in the web control panels and will be posting further announcements as soon as we have updates from Ventrilo.

Is there a reason for not hosting our own vent server on the server box? doesn't that thing have hardcore bandwidth and we aren't even using it's full potential? Plus that would be money saved...

Yes ventrilo has a "free" version with many limittations and it has licenses that are only granted to authorized resellers and that includes Hypernia. Basically the free version is almost a trial, with only 8 players max allowed making it almost useless for a community like ours.

8 seems to be the max number of ppl who have mics :p
