From the questions on the poll it sounds like Jagex is going to charge extra for the use of voice chat, as an added feature.

Please do not do this. This voice chat capability could be so incredibly useful if implemented correctly, especially in team events, such as Dungeoneering.
Take two scenarios:
Scenario 1: Jagex gives voice chat as a free option to all member accounts. A team forms for Dungeoneering, and in joining, all players are given the option to join a voice chat for your Dungeoneering party. This would be very convenient and efficient, as players would not have to type while completing a dungeon.

Scenario 2: Jagex implements voice chat as a separate feature, which costs *1.00 extra per month. Many other players already have outside voice chat capabilities. My clan, for one, uses Ventrilo. So, why spend an extra dollar for a feature you already have? Thus, some people will have voice chat, and some will not, making communication within Daemonheim even more confusing, because you won't know who can hear your voice and who cannot.




tl;dr - Don't make it so we have to pay for it, or it will be useless, and eventually nobody will use it.

Well, it would be awesome to use voice chat, although, maybe it will make the G.E. even more spammed with messages about: Buy/Sell St00f pl0x... Private and Clan Chat might actually be awesome though, cuz you won't miss the message if you are in a busier area, or just when you forgot to look when you were killing a very tough opponent, among other things...

Edit: Another downside might be the language that people use, as more mature language will be heard among the rather immature language of others, and what about swearing? Not everyone will appreciate to actually hear curses soaring through the sky or anything...
I'l just await the decisions there are gonna be made about this subject, and see, or hear the results in the future...

An interesting poll here.
I will say, I use voice chat occaisonally while playing but really only use it for eventing purposes and general chat if I'm in the mood to.
One thing I would have liked to see different with the overall setup of the poll would be a change for Question 3. I know myself as well as others use multiple programs for voice chat (although not at the same time). A question where you could choose multiple responses probably would have worked better.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes. :)
