New Poll – Voice Chat
Quick find code: 254-255-67-62489660
Thoughts/Concerns:
Do I use Skype? YES. Almost every day when I am playing. RuneScape is an exciting game, and playing with 'voice chat' makes it a blast.
Using a program has cons also; most importantly... being able to obtain another player's IP address.
This is why I choose Skype. With the correct knowledge of the vulnerabilities, how to avoid them, and the obvious rules of 'don't talk to strangers, no cyber bullying, etc...' I know that I can have fun and not worry about a DDoS.
If Jagex were to follow through with this, I'm sure they will make a safe system where they are considered the host and yada-yada.. So this is a plus
!
As someone who mainly plays off of a Wireless Internet system, I am under the risk of the every-so-annoying 'Connection Lost - Please Wait, Attempting to Re-establish' notification.
This message ^ usually only comes onto RuneScape, and my other Applications that are running are still connected. While on Skype I am able to inform my team/friends of my DC, giving me an opportunity to explain why I'm standing in-game doing nothing.
If we were to use a program built within the game, I would be under the assumption that I would lose my connection on both Applications at once. Therefore I would find this frustrating.
On the other hand... I'm sure there are many people out there who do not have this problem, and I am only speaking for few of us. So if push comes to shove, I would just choose Skype.
I'm sure you all will do a great job with this, and I am interested in hearing about some of the other players' ideas/suggestions.
OVERALL:
I give this project a big "CHEERS," and "HUZZAH."
AKA - GO FOR IT

Hi! I use Skype to talk to my friends all the time. ill call them with my webcam and detachable Mic. I would love to have button to establish a voice chat with friends on my friends list. maybe incoperate Skype friends so if you could talk to Skype about that, that would be great. some computers don't have Skype so i would like to chat with friends from anywhere. what would also be great is if you made an Iphone app that you could call and Instant Message online friends. thx rs rulz!
