So an MMO with no voice chat on a console with no separate voice chat?

Just plain ridiculous and I've no idea how its allowed and accepted to be like this or even was considered to be the correct way to launch an MMO. Renewed for 60 days today to play with my mates and now we're supposed to just blindly follow each other and not communicate while playing a game that's supposed to be about doing things together.

Don't suggest emotes or text, because I'd only consider you a fanboy idiot for thinking that's a sufficient alternative while playing the actual game.

what is the point without it?

Yes Skype exists, but its not an option for one of my friends who also bought a headset for this, as did I which is okay for me because its Skype compatible.

I was shocked enough to discover PS3 can't cross game chat this week, but no in game chat either for an MMO? Ha!

just... what else can be said? so beyond poor.

Rant over, sort it out.
