I've never used or felt the need to use voice chat on Runescape, however on other mmos I have used it day in and day out for either difficult team activites or simply socialising.
In my experience voice chat can be very useful but the built-in versions of it never seem to work half as well as dedicated systems such as Skype. The server allocation would be better spent on making the game run smoothly at higher graphics for all users(not that I personally have an issue with running the game).
Voice chat is a good thing but in my opinion should not be built into the game.

I use voice chat, only problem i see is people getting abused, should be a friends only type thing or @ bosses only really, but thats my own thoughts, and as for posting in your poll, Firefox, and Google Chrome both say:

Yeah uh?

Doesn't sound like a bad feature, but there's a lot of potential for things to go wrong?
If you're in a clan long enough, eventually you'll learn...
Some people hate your clan, some people hate your items, and some people hate people. There is no feasible way of controlling/moderating content of channels like this for large clans; action can only be taken retroactively, never proactively - after the damage is done.
Sure it's fun talking with a bunch of your friends, but it's only a matter of time before that guy you just called a noob joins your clanchat and cusses you out on 15 separate accounts.
Any serious clan member can download Skype. Personally, I believe Jagex's time would be better invested in creating new game content as opposed to removing the dependency on pre-existing and reliable third-party chat clients.

tl;dr Why waste developing time competing with Skype?

We use Vent.
My Co Founder pays for it, he use to pay for it while we were in Elite Warriors.
We left and made our own clan. It's not mandatory that new members use it, however it does make things a lot less complicated if they do.
For instance a few minutes ago we were all doing penguins well not all LOL. My event leader who was in Vent along with me had to type into the cc the locations we were going next. It would have been easier if we were all in vent and only had to speak the different locations.
Its a fun time in Vent. We can be I feel more open and frank with each other than we could in cc. It's a lot easier to speak, one person hears another person speaking your quiet as for cc you have multiple conversations going on at once, it gets rather cumbersome at times.
In vent persons caring on a conversation can simple move channels and carry on the convo easily.
sorry for spelling trying to do event and type lol
Edit:
Our vent is protected by a pass, so no unauthorized players/persons can join.
I manually add them and give them their own pass to optain access to our vent.
We don't give access to pathams, any bindings or waves. We basically give them access to vent the ability to move channels, I have assigned individual channels to members. Cuz I'm nice rofl. O_o

Great idea IMO, as long as it isn't limited to like 5people per lobby because that'd just be like a crappy Skype. :P
