I'm not a huge fan of this idea.
Firstly, I can see that this wouldn't be useful in busy worlds - simply because there would be too many people talking! Although, this could be fixed if there was an option to select who you want to hear (and, obviously, who you don't want to hear).
I saw someone mention the idea of hosting specific Voice Chat worlds, which would be great also.
Additionally, there would be a lot of discrimination. Many rule-breakers would use the Voice Chat feature as an advantage, and will start bullying people on the way they sound and talk. Since Runescape holds a wide range of players in its community, all of different ages and ethnicities, we would need something to prevent this.
Also, there wouldn't be any restriction on what players will be able to say. When typing to communicate, we have a filter that blocks out most forms of racism, for example, even with the Profanity Filter off. With Voice Chat, a filter wouldn't be possible - we would need a feature that can allow players to mute/ignore others.
Although, I do take into account the benefits of Voice Chat. For example, the feature would be perfect for Boss Hunting or Questing, where quick communication can be essential. Also, if the feature was free, it would save players quite a bit of money.

i dont think thats a good idea but there are advantages:
speak with other player much easier over the world.
you can action more quickly in pvp etc. but there are some other programs like skype and etc. that are good enough. This is what i think.
