Jabber is more than just another instant messenger.

Unlike AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ et.el., it is an open system allowing individuals and organizations to run their own servers, and that is just what we do here at Tides. Just as email servers can pass information between each other, so can Jabber servers. In fact, jabber servers can also talk to propriatary IM networks, potentially giving you a one stop solution! Tides Jabber Server runs 24/7 and is available for all Tides Clubs and Members.

You can download your favorite Jabber client from Jabber.org
Tides of War recommends Gaim, Jajc and Miranda,
but you can use any Jabber Client you like.

Tides of War offers setup guides for Gaim and Jajc.

TeamSpeak is an application which allows its users to talk to each other over the internet

TeamSpeak is designed to run in the background of Online games. The voice quality and hereby the bandwidth usage is configurable and can be low for modem users or as good as normal phone calls for better connections. Still the client's maximum bandwidth won't exceed 25.9 kbit/sec (=3.3 KBps) upstream.Also TeamSpeak uses as little latency as possible, which makes TeamSpeak one of the best Online gaming communication programs.

TeamSpeak has a lot more features than these basics, but even unexperienced users don't have to be scared. As TeamSpeak is divided into a server and a client application, advanced users can set up a TeamSpeak server, which is so to say the meeting point for the clients. This means that beginners can just fire up the client, connect to a server and talk to their friends. After the first small steps they will discover a whole variety of features that give TeamSpeak a high rating when it comes to voice chat tools as well.
