I personally think this is a truly fantastic idea for Jagex to consider, and I found that fact that Jagex offered us the opportunity to participate in a complete poll, much like what we were offered prior to the release of the "Quick Poll", to be truly delightful ^_^ .
I truly do believe it's an excellent way to gather some information regarding how your loyal community feel towards this idea, and in my humble shoes, I feel as if Jagex truly does care quite a bit more about me and my fellow players than normal :) .
As for Voice Chat itself being implemented, I personally would like to see it implemented solely within the confines of the Private Chat System or the Clan Chat System, each system equipped with the ability to accept or decline Voice Chat invitations, similar to some other communication services that are commonly used. It would also be advisable for there to be a "Push to Talk" option in order to further improve Voice Chat in a Clan Chat, presuming that it were to be heavily considered by Jagex to be developed. As in "Push to Talk", I mean in order to speak in the Clan Chat's Voice Chat, one would have to press a certain button, whether it be a part of the RuneScape interface or a self-assigned button!
Also, may I ask how exactly the moderation of such a feature as Voice Chat would occur? Is it possible that you could record certain portions of a Voice Chat when a "Voice Chat Abuse Report" is submitted and then evaluate that for any rule-breaking? That, or does Jagex have anything else in mind for us?
Personally speaking, the moderation of such a feature would be the biggest concern for me, but nevertheless, I have faith in you, Jagex!
Much love and appreciation,

Just your friendly neighborhood team player.

I believe incorporating Voice Chat into RuneScape would be a fantastic idea. At the moment I use Ventrilo; I use it to chat to my friends instead of typing all the time. Instead of hitting keys for everything I want to say, I simply just hold down the "shift" key and talk away. Having this as an option is very helpful when your training skills that require a lot of mouse movement (i.e. Agility).
If Jagex is to implement Voice Chat within RuneScape, my suggestion would be to incorporate the feature into "Clan Chat". This way it would allow players to determine exactly who they want to be able to speak to/hear. in conclusion, I think this would be a fantastic idea for Jagex to incorporate into RuneScape.
Thanks,
Arc Daemon

During a clan war match, it is kind of hard to call our target's level or name.if we use voice group chat, those who are in a particular clan chat could hear it easily and follow the leader :) .
It is also an easy way to stop some kind of spamming in chat box and use of any 3rd party software.
So from my point of view, It will be really useful in clan wars specially in J cup or I.F.K. ^_^

As alot of people have said, a public voice chat is a very bad idea. :O It would work better with the clan chat system. That being said it can't be implemented into the game itself without causing unnecessary lag which would be unfair to those who would not use it.
Also, squeaky voiced preteens all over the place O_o

I see more clans using Ventrilo and and what not. I used to host myself a Ventrilo server for me and some friends. The problem was giving a few of them the IP address. A few others were real life friends.
I think we should have an in game voice chat since we don't use ventrilo anymore.

I personally use voice chat for different reasons:
1. Talking to fellow group members for the fun of it and discussing the game while playing.
2. Great for doing bosses instead of typing. Quicker to talk out the strategy than typing.
3. It is also a great tool to do while doing dungeon floors as well. Explaining how to do floors to friends that are new to the skill by audio is better than texting it.
Thanks for bringing this up for topic of discussion/voting.
