LG Steam Group for meeting up and game prep

[AnkLrd]

Is it possible to make this topic sticky ?

[AJ]

I personally feel that "Teamspeak3" is a superior meeting room than Steam. http://www.teamspeak.com/ download the Client program (32 or 64 bit), click on connections upper left of menu...click on connect ....type in the following numbers into the required boxes

Address: 208.100.9.178
Port: 4142

You are then in "Paladins Bar and Grill" (Uhlanen), bookmark in the menu, scroll down to the bottom and double click on "NBC Multiplayer lobby".  Uhlanen has put in considerable effort creating this meeting room, so at least give it a try. If you don't like Audio Chat (with a mic), you can stick to the IM Chat.

Unlike Steam, you don't have to buy a game to use all the features of Teamspeak, not only is it a game lobby but it has Audio Chat (great for team tactics conferences), standard IM and the ability to upload files such as OOB's, doctrines, maps etc..

Indeed! After AJ told me i joined TS, easy to use and has lots of advantages compared to others.
Just, it would be good if Uhlanen create a room with a name something "Histwar Multiplayer lobby" or similiar.

Good work Uhlanen/AJ....this is on my list of things to do between playing and watching the golf over the next 4 days, it would seem steam is no use unless you already have a game registered there.

This TS does sound a lot better.

i think transfering OOB and Doctrines before the battle is possible with TS3, right?

[bibouba]

Can I join you on the steamgroup ?

[AJ]

Bibouba, Teamspeak3 is far better than Steam. NBC has adopted it as the official meeting place. you can IM, use Audio chat AND transfer OOB's and Doctrines etc...Read my post below for instructions

Download it, and waiting now for a game

After a lot of trying the different systems, NBC finally decided on Xfire as our meeting place and Voice/IM comms system.
A small unobtrusive free program, lobbies are already  created for "nbc multiplay lobby, nbc france, nbc allies, histwarles gronards". Any Clan/Club can form thier own lobbies. The voice chat is reliable and especially good with a cheap headset/mic combo and IM chat is standard.

NBC meet most mornings at 0600 hrs pst and 1200 hrs pst, anybody is welcome to join us and try an MP batlle. Just click the "Chat Rooms button" (2nd down on the left) and double click "nbc multiplayer lobby".

Cav, you don't have to be a Clan/Club member to join in an XFIRE Battle, just be around there in the NBC or Histwar Multiplayer Lobb (find lobbies by clicking 2nd tab doen from the left) around 0600 pst or 1200 pst and you can usually join in a battle

Cav, you don't have to be a Clan/Club member to join in an XFIRE Battle

As AJ says, you don't have to, but I can almost promise you will get more enjoyment if you do join one, anyone, whichever looks to suit you best.

Please take a look at the nbc site, and the others as well, to see if one of them looks right for your level of interest.

As Gunner says, it is easier to get games when you belong to one and they are all different, something to suit all.
At the moment the non members get to pick up the odd games
