I personally like a chatroom with voice...(not sure you can do both at the same time with vent)...but that way everyone can communicate alittle easier. Ofcourse ingame there will be different rooms for groups.
Yes, you can have a chat room while in vent... we do so regularly in PotBS to coordinate Nation meetings; otherwise it would be utter chaos with 40 people all in the same channel trying to talk...
Vent can also be set up so that a leader (say raid leader) can talk to just the group leaders. Then the group leaders can be set up to just talk to each other, and/or their groups, and then the people in a group, in the same channel. Done with different hot keys, and each key will 'call' a different person. I don't know how to set that up, but we have a guy in our PotBS Society who does, if no one here already is on it. I'm working on him to play AoC (and hence join us) as well, of course!
