Voice Chat?

[DaikiKiyoshi]

I think it's a good idea. Just have it set to off by default and have a tutorial showing people how to use it. Make it very simple to use. I feel that a lot of people would use it because it's so much quicker than getting people to go download third party programs if they don't have them already and then setting them up, etc. This way it would all be in client, easily accessible, and super user friendly without having to use third party programs. I honestly can't understand why people are against this.

And no one would take the time to enter a built in chat room for the party, which could instead be spent killing.

Or is that different?

Yes it is different because to use a third party program you have to tab out of game, start it up, wait for it to load, enter the chat room address, wait for that to load. An in game client could have a simple on/off switch. Much simpler.

Pretty much every other MMO that has built in voice chat, no one uses it because it is awful.

I doubt that. Any examples that are not subject to personal bias?
