Yeah, I see this as another "$10 Voice Chat" feature in the online store...

Yeah, and you missed the point entirely.

(TO add to that little quip, 56k is the minimum and not the recommended. Also the box says "Internet Connection" but doesn't state the speed. VoIP is not apart of the minimum required for the game so your argument is useless as it doesn't affect the minimum to the slightest degree.)

If 56k don't support it, then so be it. But it still won't stop those who are able from using it. And that means that it isn't a bad addition to the game regardless.

Gotta love choice. Its a beautiful thing.

#1. It won't be free.

#2. It not be for anything other than party chat.

#3. It will be laggier and of lower quality than TS and Vent.

#4. Its already too late for Guild Wars.

I recommend that they perfect the voicechat system for the next MMORPG they release.

I also think that people would not want to play as much when they realized how young the vast majority of players are in the game. Just the thought being required to be in voicechat to get into the only pug party in a town and having to listen to all those prepubescent premadonnas try to order me around makes my skin crawl.

I think I will stick with my heros regardless of what NC Soft does.

would voip not cause even more lag than we already get?

I deeply hate that, that is sad, really SAD; I am 30 years old, and I left all guilds for that reason; I am now without guild; Immaturity is just intolerable for me now (happening in my real life too)

Well, if you are over 21 years old, you shouldn't even play GW. You should get a life for goodness' sake. Ok, just a little over reaction. But seriously, get a life.

Just kidding. However, it is simply an inevideble fact that a LOT of games are indeed played by people under 17. And there is nothing no one can do about it other than to deal with it.

I know you are joking here, in general, but I don't know how much of this statement I can support. A lot of us grew up playing the old atari, and later, nintendo games. And as we grew older, we got better paying jobs and maintained interest in our childhood love of electronic entertainment. I think most of these types of games are actually aimed higher than most think.

I've actually found that most gaming magazines actually have a target audience in the mid to late 20's (found out through the editor's notes and letters pages of various magazines.) That suggests that most games might be trying to get the dollars of those with more earning potential and long ingrained habits.

I admit, I could be wrong, who really knows. Teens have no real bills yet, and can easily waste money, but at the same time, they make very little.

I guess a lot of players grew up with George Orwell's 1984 hehe. A community where people can deny access to all kinds of services, just by looking at a webcam or listening to someones voice... Awww! I'm afraid kids who are growing up now will never understand how important privacy is, or used to be. It's very understandable that a lot of players are worried that teamspeak in the end will become a filter: If you don't use it, you are OUT!

We wouldn't be hearing their voices, just seeing text in the chat box.

I hope so....an end to all that "wtf, lol, lawl, zomg, ffs" rubbish....hopefully it'll be a blow to spammers as well....

It would make sense to have it as part of team channel, guild channel, alliance channel....I wouldn't want it on local or trade unless there was a filter option.

Unless you work for NCSoft, you don't know jack.

GW is perfect for people "with a life", aka. make a PvP character and go arenas!

also MMORPGs are perfect for play at retirement ages

BTW, play video games is too good that I don't expect leaving it never ever forever!

Oh! almost forget, there are guilds only for +30 years people, I myself know three.

playing games isn't just for kids ... you are never too old to play games IMO

i know this might be slightly off-topic, but i wanted to bring it up anyways, see if anybody has an explanation and can enlighten me

i noticed something like that aswell ... for example, i turned my music totally down, but that doesn't mean its "off" like one would expect, but it's just very low volume. so it's actually still running in the background (when i plug in headphones i can stil hear it, even when the slider is totally to the left). and nightfall has the annoying feature that the music changes dramatically when you enter a fight. the big coincidence: each time i enter a fight i lag to hell (my comp and conn are super-b, no problems there). does it have to do with the fight itself or with the damn music in the background that is adapting to the fight?!
i wish there was an off/on button for music; not just the volume itself, but a total shut-down of the music.

oh and btw: i don't like the idea of voice chat either, vent/ts do their job well enough

Don't worry, this is one of the most off-topic topic I had read. About music, I know that, GW don't turn off music, I know another games just don't play the MP3 (or whatever) when you put music volume at zero (at left), and save resources doing that (really turning off the music), not the case with GW.
