Teamspeak is a VoIP application which allows gamers to converse with each other over the internet while playing games. Most commonly, it is used by top clans and guilds to coordinate and organize their attacks when playing on the same team. It is designed to run in the background and automatically picks up your voice, sending it to our servers where it can be rebroadcast to up to thousands of users with low latency.
Currently, commercial MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft and Lineage II do not provide a platform for voice communication between party members due to bandwidth constraints.
Further, traditional voice communication software programs such as Skype or Google Talk are not suitable for gamers because of its peer-to-peer nature, leading to higher bandwidth requirements when parties become larger.
Fragnetics solves the bandwidth problem by hosting Teamspeak at a central location for clans with members in Asia and Australia. In addition, Teamspeak is specially designed for group communication so that only a single audio stream is sent to each user, reducing bandwidth requirements on the client side, and hence leading to an increase in voice quality.
Thanks to TeamSpeak, players no longer have to put themselves at risk by using their keyboard for typing instead of moving. Additionally, communication will not be confined to a single room or location – by choosing which channel to join, raids or battles can be coordinated simultaneously and players can support each other in raids across entire worlds. Having a Teamspeak server is a sign of commitment and teamwork in any clan or guild.
