HI
I know a lot of my friends use voice chat while playing RS. I don't, but only because I sit have my computer in the living room. I would love to use it, but I find it wouldn't be convenient since my family sits same place. He he, I am the mom in the house, and well, I guess you can understand why.
However, when I am alone, it would be great. Voice chat would make it easier since I wouldn't have to type, and there for have my hands free to move my caracter instead of answering, talking to those I play with in different situationes. I used to be in a clan, and we used to have this treasure trail thing going on. We used to get clues, kind of like treasure trail clues, and at the end there would be a price. We all pitched in cash for the reward, and competed to get to it first. It was really fun. During those events it would have been great with voice chat.
Other than that, I love this game :)

Nice one. I really like this idea but two things are putting me off at this moment in time.
1 - The servers are lagging in some areas will extra strain like this take it?
2- Are you going to make voice chat public because when ur at the g.e. you will hear a constant noise. What happens if some one rings you whilst in a conversation?

I swear to God, cross my heart and grandma's grave...I've made a post about this (voice-chatting) on the suggestions and gotten 491 supporters, but it didn't worked until now!!!! I'm not lying, if you don't believe me, search my old threads. Can't believe this is happening.

To be honest, I don't think it made much difference. However, it may have got Jagex thinking more. If this was part of your doing then well done ;) .
Remember Jagex main reason was ppl use skype and vent to hold conversations to each other.

I regularly use TeamSpeak/Skype to talk to my friends while playing RuneScape, especially when Pking or in Castle Wars.
If you were to bring your own voice chat service, it'd have to just be available to members in your clan chat or friends list, otherwise you'll have a bunch of random idiot 12 year olds screaming their heads off.

I do use voice chat, i use ventrilo.
I use it because its much quicker to speak instead of peck out letters on the keyboard. I like how simple it is to communicate while using voice chat.
However I dont like the occasional channel spammers we encounter. If you guys do decide to do something with voice chat, it would be best if there was some kind of privacy to it. What im saying is dont want to stand in GE and hear 300 players trying to sell things. :P

This is the greatest idea EVER! I'll be able to hear all of the 13 year olds in the game! :)
And you can't forget the amazing sounds you'll hear in crowded areas such as the GE!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
I WANT TO MAKE SOME EARS BLEED :D DDDDDDDDDDDDD

Damn voice chat would be great, It makes chatting to friends so much faster, you can get whole conversations out in a minute which would've taken five with text. Also you can put a much greater amount of emotion into your voice, meaning things like sarcasm, etc, will be far easier to convey :D It's just sad to think that if this goes ahead, soon the only text we'll be seeing is, 'Join '****' to make 400bil per hour!!@!@!@!@'. Worth it though >: )
