Not many macs use vent or ts, and if there was another way, I doubt any of gr would use it.

Xfire has voice chat and text chat.

So you can talk during a game with someone who also has xfire?

Only pc's can have xfire. Macs can have a version of xfire but it does not come with the voice chat function.

For voice chatting while playing SWBF, you should take advantage of the MPCGamers TeamSpeak server. It's usable on both Mac and PC so feel free to use that as long as you can get other people to join it.

If you get a gold or silver accont on gameranger you can voice chat with people.  Everyone can hear, but only other gold/silver members can respond.  It does cost money to get a premium membership though, somewhere between 40-80 $

is woome safe?

I looked up woome, and the first thing I found was a speed dating videochat site. If this is the woome that you speak of, it is definitely not for you. First of all it's speed dating, and what you need is something for gaming. Second, it's videochat, which means more lag than a normal audio chat application. You don't need to see your clan mates faces while playing battlefront, so video chat is completely unnecessary. The teamspeak server link that Jedikiller has provided for you is completely safe, reliable, and free for you. It's main purpose is for talking during gaming, so I think it's your best option for what you want right now.

Thats the one. Google teamspeak and get the second version. Then search teamspeak here for how to connect to teamspeak.

But I would make my own server instead of using mpcgamers for my clan?

If you got the money for one. Not everything in the world is free. You need to realize that...

You could use Skype, but it's not exactly bandwidth friendly for multiple people to use at once. Not only that but you're playing online at the same time.

The options above are the only options you have.

Using the MPCgamers.com server is perfectly fine just so long as you have all of your members join up here on the forum, we can make your clan a room so they can join and chat without being bothered by other members if needed even.
http://www.savvy.nl/blog/ - Mac Teamspeak 2 Download.
http://www.mpcgamers.com/smf/index.php?page=servers1 - MPCgamers.com server info.


Using Skype is also an option for this, one player would have to host the call and call each player one by one, this would make him when he joined a SWBF server have a ping a good bit less then normal give or take it will add about 10 ping for each person he is chatting with, depending on where everyone is located.
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/ - Mac Skype Download Link.

Those are the two best options for what you want. you can buy your own server and host it just the same as MPCgamers.com's server, but for more info on that you can ask at a later time if you so choose.

Secondary options are using the ingame voice chat from GameRanger however this only works for Gold or Silver registered users.

Paying for a ventrillo server being almost the same as Teamspeak. However you would have to host the server yourself. - http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php

Discussion of pirating software is not allowed on this forum.

I hope this has answered all of your questions and helps you as much as possible to make your choice in the coming future of your SWBF gaming.
