In-game voice chat

So is there anything that chatserver.exe is useful for beyond being a mail server?

Actually, chatserver and mailserver have been deprecated. The current mail and chat server is the UCS (Universal Chat Server), which combines both mail and chat into a single server. It is used for in game mail and in game chat channels such as /1 (or whatever), which is just another alternative chat group similar to guild, group, ooc, say, etc.

to be clear though, the UCS solution builds as "chatserver.exe"

Ahh lol, I didn't know that. Been so long since I did a Windows build that used it and on linux I just start UCS.

Ok, that's actually getting me to my "what's it good for?" answer. the combined UCS is what I'm referring to and, yes, it is chatserver.exe. I did not know that you could do "/2 How's it going" to chat with the channels. I thought those channels were just for voice chat but I was fairly sure I didn't know what I was talking about. Now I get it and I'll keep booting chatserver.exe with my server. Thanks!
