Reading their site has me a little confused. Do you have to pay to rent a server if all you want to do is make a group to voice chat with a few friends?

That’s how the internet used to work, back before investor money came in and made operating at an insane loss a valid way to run a business. To avoid it you could self-host, which usually involved some networking knowledge.

My understanding is that you have to pay a software license to access the server software, then you have to figure out where and how to host that server yourself.

The client is free.
