The fellas behind all of 2o2p are giant WoW heads with lots of experience in this area, who have just recently adopted mumble as their voice internet stuff. Anyways I am gonna go and ask these guys in one of the support areas here... I bet they have lots of great ideas on the subject. I will return when I have won the information HAHA!
BTW: Very generous of you Emory! Thanx! Some sort of arrangement will be found and hopefully benefits everyone.
Hey guyz we are gonna try http://www.raidcall.com/ . Its completely free. Gonna go download it myself at the moment set it up and will be back with group info in a couple shakes.
If this fails we may have another option. we will see.
Hello old people. I saw your post on the Kuritan MWO forum and decided to come and check it out. Long time Battle Tech player (it was Battledroids when I started) and very excited about this game. I'm not much of a forum monkey so you will probably not hear a ton from me but I do pay attention, so as soon as we can start real match making you'll see me in game.
Thanks for your interest Theriophonic, once I get home this evening I'll post a list of the current founders in the beta that I have for you. Once you have them you can add them to your friends list in the windo of MW:O.
For NDA purposes, would it be more accurate to say that the list above is people who are known founders' package purchasers, and while they now have access to the closed beta, they may or may not be participating?

The way I see it the NDA now only applies to audio/video/ comments on gameplay and pictures of gameplay. If I can go onto mwomercs.com and see that my friends have founders packages purchased then that makes it can be declared publicly that we have access to the beta.
Nope because MWo already spilled the beans by telling everyone, if you buy the founders you get in beta. So they already dismissed the NDA as far as i am concerned. This isn't beta this is a demo of an unfinished game. They are probably doing this because the game wont be ready Aug7th. Its still got a lot of issues to deal with. One of those is lag. I haven't had the best luck with it. Mostly its with the fast recon mechs. they seem to teleport on my screen. I find my atlas is severely overwhelmed by a recon pilot who keeps the throttle up because the connection can't keep up. Aiming in general has been very difficult for me. Not sure if its a frame rate issue or solely the lags fault, but instead of pinpoint accuracy I expect with a mouse, i find it very floaty. Sometimes i move a little and it jumps quite far other times I can't seem to get it to move. Plus I have had a few games i joined where I loaded in stuck mostly in the map unable to do anything. Also all the other things that should be further along given this close to release they are, mech labs limited otions (ie no weapon groupings, item descriptions, etc), lack of chain fire, poor friend and grouping system, limited supply of mechs/maps, etc etc. Ya games not released... its a only a beta... Yup I know but its official release dat to founders is in 6 days. Maybe its a lot better after this patch. keeping fingers crossed.

It's been stated they're going to add customized weapon grouping to the Mechlab. in MMO's lag will always be an issue as you know. BT always had reload times for weapons like Missiles and A/C's. There were a couple of ballistic based weapons later on that didn't but were prone to jamming. Outside of the initial 16 mechs that have (or will be today) that were declared as start game mechs let's hope the devs continue to crank them out every two weeks....
Good questions/ideas Emory.

Ok the group name is 2o2pMecha.
No password at the moment. But don't know if it will help but group ID:4913355
or this is the url of our group: http://www.raidcall.com/go.php?sid=4913355
Downloading it, got it up and running...
Downloading now.
Edit: Raidcall works well and sounds as good as vent or TS3. Nice find Polteg Ice.
Hooray!
Fired it up. Couldn't find the group until I fixed the capitalization. "2o2pMecha" did not work, "2o2pmecha" did. Interesting.
Thanx of course I couldn't of dun it without LaLa Calamari's suggestion. here is to LALA.
Well get LaLa into the Beta so "Someone" can fry "them" up some Calamari!!!
Fixed for anonymity...
I think I finally got the raid call to work.Careful Kurupt about talking about beta. A member that is not in beta might leak it by mistake.
lol
Anyone else get the email about letting in founders members into the closed beta today instead of 08/07?
Yes, I got that email as well.
Yup yup

I tied to add a couple of you guys a little while back. Didin't seem to work...probably works now.
That would be awesome thank you.
PoltegIce
KuruptU4Fun
Raven Starbinder
Cyllan
Divine Retribution
Benjamin Emory
Cimex
And one other person I can't remember
Don't have him on my list, but was planning on looking for him tonight. (currently downloading paches)
MachineMk2
Youseful Mallad is the guy I didn't remember...
me and my lrm middle boat are doing alright.. Top dmg and usually at least 1 kill min :-)
you may have posted that name wrong as it doesn't acknowledge him when i do a friend invite
My Tag in MWO has a space."Polteg Ice"

Yoseful Mallad
Alright...added everyone in-game who is a "Founder"...I think. Got Raidcall (group doesn't seem to work anymore...or I did something wrong).
