      Vent works by having someone host a Vent server and then everyone else uses Vent clients to login to the server. In our case, Matt hosts our server (which costs him money... thanks again Matt!) and we use Vent clients.

      If your friend wants to join our group, then he'll just need a Vent client (the same version as us) and the Vent login details.

      If you guys just want to use it privately between the two of you, then you'll probably need to set up your own Vent server. Telstra has gaming services that offer Vent servers and there are other companies too. Otherwise I'd just run some VOIP program like Skype in the background, which is free.

        Thanks Andrew, and thank you Matt. Scott, my apprentice, is bringing his character up to speed... already @ 35 and its his first... in only a couple of weeks. Antonszandor. If we could us the existing that would be great. I do not remember what the login details were and could not find them.
        Also an invitation to the guild would be great. I think he is a couple of weeks (HA) away from lev 60.

          Actually I don't pay for the vent service (apart from my normal server hosting fees).

          Vent gives away a free server product but limits it to 8 people connected at once. You are more than welcome to use this server as much as you like. (Except when its full on our run nights!) In fact, we might need to get a commercial server as our guild increases in size... They generally only cost about $5 a month (for 20 users) though so it ain't much.

          The hostname and password for our vent server is in the Guild Information tab inside wow. He won't be in the guild so he wont be able to see it, but you can.

          No worries. If Scott is going to join our group eventually, I don't see a problem in giving him access to Vent, but I'll leave it up to Matt.

          I think Boorunn may be a guild officer already, in which case you can guild invite Scott yourself, by typing '/ginvite Antonszandor'. Otherwise I can guild invite when I next see you online. Also, if you want help powerlevelling through ZF or similar, just ping me next time (I'll probably be on Confluence). I'm happy to run you through.
