Hello,

Maybe this is a silly question but is this still on? Are there any spots free still?

[metallio]

So how does this work? I mean, MWO isn't WoW with a cap city I can bug the crap out of people for all of the "how to" stuff...pretty much all I see in MWO is the play button and blasting mechs. I generally understand teamspeak (used to use Ventrilo, guess it's similar?) but how do you gain access to the right channel? Once there is there a protocol for getting into the right channel or announcing yourself or what?

Is there a signup page somewhere and how do you get into a group? Etc...not even sure what I don't know how to do at this stage, but I'm interested in at least watching even if I can't get in to die nice and fast .
