As you may or may not already know – Flagship Industries, Inc. is releasing the new version of Ventrilo (3.0) this Wednesday the 14th. New features include but are not limited to: User Access Rights, Guest account and restrictions, Per-channel codec(s), User authorization channels, Ranks, User complaint reporting, Private chat sessions, and much, much more. Due to new features, Ventrilo.com has asked hosting companies to remove the ability to modify users and channels via the web control panels. As such, those features will be only available via the Ventrilo 3.0 client when it is released on Wednesday.

In efforts to make this transition as smooth as possible – we ask that you tell your guild/clan members, and anyone else using your Ventrilo servers as soon as you can about the update. The new version of Ventrilo 3.0 is being released in the early morning hours of the 14th. All current servers will operate under Ventrilo 2.3.2 until the client is released.

As such, DarkStar Communications will turn up everyone’s server under the new version as soon as it is made available to the public. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND – Ventrilo 3.0 is not compatible with Ventrilo 2.3. As such, when the servers are upgraded, those who do not have the new client will not be able to connect. Furthermore, the new Ventrilo 3.0 client cannot connect to previous 2.3 servers. So please, download the new client as soon as it is made available on Ventrilo.com’s web site.
For those of you who have friends with servers with other hosting companies – if you bring them to DarkStar, we will give you 3 months free of Ventrilo hosting – all you have to do is have the person who signs up open a support ticket and let us know who that you referred them.

Also – if you haven’t seen the new web site, check it out. It’s a big improvement over our old one and we really hope you enjoy it. As such – we are currently running a game server special – all game servers (excluding Ranked/Honor) are $1.49 per public slot, and $0.99 per private slot. This is for ALL games, including Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4, Unreal Tournament 3, and Crysis! These prices will not last long, so tell your friends!

Should you have any questions about the newly released Ventrilo version or our new web site, please open a support ticket or visit Ventrilo.com’s web site.

Thank you!
