Adding to what ScS said in 27-8, this would also give a grave advantage to those who have versus those who do not. Some people prize their privacy and opting out of something external such as this would hurt them.
As it stands, we all have the same tools available to us that we EARN through game play. We also should all have the same communications system.
Unfortunately, as we can see from the responses, there are already countless players who have been playing with an unfair advantage over others so this is a moot point.
Therefore, if Jagex can support this system through their game engine and make it safer for those who wish an unfair advantage over those who will not have it, so be it.

P.S. The poll was wrong in one respect. It only assumed that the respondants wanted to say whether they use it for RuneScape. You may have wanted to know if we use it for RS but some of us have Voice/Video Chat but don't use it for RS; some of us use it only to talk to family about family issues. I would have liked the opportunity to say that we have voice/video chat but our family doesn't use it in game — only for family issues.
P.S.S. I'll wager that account hacking has risen with the advent of most of these voice and video products.

I certainly would enjoy voice chatting if it did not cause excessive lag and the like. However, I would want it to be optional or something along those lines as it could be quite annoying at times you'd prefer to not be voice chatting.

I use Skype and Vent to talk with other people while I play runescape and other games, but if Jagex were to include a voice program to the game, they would HAVE to make ways for people to own a voice channel or something, because I dislike twelve year olds singing and yelling. Mature voices only, people. You will be trolled for having a squeaky voice, and nobody wants to hear it. Sorry.

There are quite a few things about voice chat that would make RuneScape much more fun.
-Say you're killing Nex or one of the other GWD bosses, and someone sends you a private message. You want to reply to the message, but you know that if you do reply, there's a chance of death. What do you do?
-Contacting someone is a lot easier through voice chat. If you send someone private messages or try to get their attention in game, it can turn into borderline spam.
-It's much more interesting to talk to someone than send them private messages or in game messages. It would definitely be a plus to add voice chat into the game.
I agree that this function should only be made for P2P players, because it is a very worthwhile thing, and I believe it would increase the amount of people paying for RuneScape.
