THAT as well! Good call Owain!

TeamSpeak is mandatory; unless you are AFK running/fishing/etc. That being said; there is also a channel specifically for AFK stuff in TS so folks know what you are doing. I recommend that folks log into TS regardless - and when doing training or AFK work - pop into that channel and toggle the "Away Status" which will mute your mic/headphones.

There are areas in our TS for being "social" and others "strictly business" battlecomms, leveling, scroll groups, Adult Swim, and you can even create your own if you like!

Key thing is - we had a LOT of folks whom were NEVER in TS; yet online playing (or AFK... nobody knows) and you can't really help or keep track of them if they never log into TeamSpeak (yes we are talking about months of never logging in). Being there is no way to send emails or offline messages to each other in-game, BDO folks need to use TS.. are encouraged to use Oracle and/or Slak to keep in touch.

Here are the meeting notes from last Sunday (8/21) - all BDO Faction members should review and /sign

It isn't rocket science, and basically a lot of "common sense", but the Officers of BDO Faction want to make certain everyone knows/understands the "rules".
