yea i'm not sure about this idea, i've played rs for awhile and i also played ur competitions game for awhile (wrathful gladiator ftw??, shout out to any ex frostmages.)
The point im trying to make is they actually tried this too, it was a total washout all the top raiding guild's still use all the old favorites (well any guild imo).
But what do i know if u think u can code better then blizzard go right ahead.

I think it's a stellar idea. If you do implement voice chat into the game, make it to where only friends in the game and chat, and have an option for the whole minimap display area to chat. Also, have an option to turn it off on both ends. For example, if a player is blowing off a lot of steam and being incredibly annoying, either let us disable hearing them, or just make the ignore list limit to 500, at least.
Otherwise, awesome "possible" update, Jagex. I'd be excited to see it. Can't wait for more updates about it, like more in-depth statements of how the mechanic will work out, much like when the wilderness/free-trade referendum was around.

This sounds like a great idea, but PLEASE do not implement voice modulation, I would rather hear prepubescent children's voices than that annoying Darth Vader-like voice that many kids use. I hear it enough on other online video games and it drives me insane. Keep in mind that this is just my opinion... :|

Amazing idea guys! In my opinion it would be great! It could be like Clan chat, but with an extra button like.. voice chat with clan or something, and it would have the same base as clan chat, leader can make people leaders who can kick, and can make it so only friends could talk or things like that, with a little thought and comunication this could be a big hit! - I vote yes!

Sounds like a great idea to me, of course it comes with its pros and cons.
This system would be great for having better communication between players than having to quickly type out things. ex. trying to type to have help while being killed by an enemy player in a minigame
Unless servers are updated, this voice chat could cause extra lagg, as many others have said before me.
A major problem with this would be having everyone just chat in "Public chat." This would be major problems in large minigames (ex. Soul Wars, Castle Wars) or in high population areas (Grand Exchange, etc.)
It can get pretty loud with 8 people in an Xbox LIVE party, let alone hundreds of players in the Grand Exchange, or having tens of players all yelling at each other in a large minigame.
The clan chat could be modified to counteract this problem. This may make the possible update itself even more hefty, but it's better than having to make the changes later. PLayers could have the ability to switch their clan chat between the settings of "Voice chat and Text, Text Only, or Mute" This would allow certain players control their clan chat how they prefer.
When "Voice chat and Text" is enabled players will be asked how many players will be allowed in the clan chat. The number will be between 1 and 20 and can be changed at any point. I think the current max limit is 100 people (correct me if I'm wrong) and that would be a ridiculous number of coversations.
Text would be available in all areas still due to the fact that some families cannot afford a microphone because of their budget.
Other ideas....
The current clan chat people limit could be continued, but there could be settings such as voice chating with friends only. Parents who are concerned about their children's safety could have it set so that their child can NEVER voice chat.
Running out of space so that's all for now.

I currently use voice chat, It makes clan activities much easier. I would definitely use it in game, in hopes that the control over it wud be similar to the "clan chat" options. (: The good news is...nothing last forever.

Sounds like a really good idea, I would be happpy to see voice chat in runescape.
...Assuming of course that there would be certain restrictions to it, the most basic being able to turn it off of course... (Perhaps another tab bar at the bottom for "Speech" with the same options as the others?).

This is actually pretty interesting! :)
I guess that means that most every player gets voice acting then? :)
