I understand players would like other ways to communicate that would make everyone feel more connected to each other and the game. I don't believe this update would bring much good and only cause Jagex more problems than anything. Everywhere I walk in Runescape there are players fighting and scamming each other. Yeah it can be managed , maybe? but what is the real point of even having it connected to the game when there is so much out there that is free already AND already being used. I don't support this idea.
I'm sure this idea will happen though because nowadays... everything happens when it is probably not the best thing.... but please try to manage this idea the most because its going to open so many doors and I hope the whole Jagex team can handle it.

Howdy Miss Kathy,
Family Unity Network uses vent for the most part on a daily basis for the everyday involvement of our Family because some of our older member's find it hard to type and play sometimes so the option to use voice is a big help when we are doing events or Jagex Cup or teaching some new Fun cavers how to skill or quest from our vast knowledge base of some of the top players in the game.
We also have access you Yahoo IM voice service which we used extensively in the past along with Skype a lot of the kids use too now more and more in Fun. One of the big limits we found with Vent is it caps out the amount of ppl you can have in a room to use voice.
When I first came to our old Company/Clan FLI99 in 2006 we used Yahoo Voice conference back in the day when y'all didn't even have Clan Chats or world labels and we needed something very badly back then because of our massive size to be able to call crafters when they were needed at the alter or when an issue arose.
The main reason I am bringing all this up Miss Kathy is as an Elder of Fun we have had over 5 + years of out side chat experience and been very successful in this avenue and it is probably something that Jagex is very long over do to install in the game.
If you would like more information on any of this Miss Kathy you can ask Miss Great in the Clan leaders meeting or myself when ever we get the names ironed out.
Thank You Miss Kathy for the chance to express some past experiences involving the use of Voice chatting on RS.

hello jagex my account is locked (i dont know why XD)
and i dont know what to do i already tried the recover account thing but it didnt work every time this shows up :

you sesion is invalid
We did*’t receive your appeal, but don’t worry: we think this is due to a security feature that gives you 20 minutes to complete the process. All you need to do is start the process again, making sure you complete it within 20 minutes. If this still doesn’t work, be assured that we’re trying to get you back in game as soon as we can and please try again later.
:( what to do?

I welcome this as I have been talking to the same friend I play runescape with alot for the last 3-4 years. The only problem I would have would be making voice public like being able to hear people talking when you walk within range because you will get people shouting down the mic and screaming, or streaming things that they shouldn't be.
I think it should be limited to the clan chat as this should eliminate bullying via the microphone and give players moderation over who can use the mic ect. I will also enable clans to communicate alot easier, as an example in the wild - people can call on the mic to "get that level 54" rather than having to type it out.
The ability to mute players you don't want to listen to is a must.
I realy hope that this becomes part of Runescape! O_o

Jackale,

Its not that you came off in the wrong way, I was just stating that no matter where you go or what you do you will have trolling, flaming, and some kind of verbal abuse. I feel that maybe this should be an update for 15 years or older but it is very hard to determine what someone's age is if they can just as easily lie about thier age on a game.
As this is supposed to be a game for 13+ I admit I've bumped into kids who we're 8-10 yrs old on this game..
The fact is people lie everyday, There isnt much jagex can do to stop kids from lying about thier age. I truely wish jagex would come out with a game that is for 18+ as I do get sick of children telling me I'm to old for this game.. When in reality I'm not that old lol. Its a video game.. I didnt know there was a "if your this old you can not play" rule.
But to get back on topic here, This update would make communication 1000 times easier then typing. I hate it so much that when I'm telling my friends about something cool that happened I get cut off because the chat bar can only hold so many characters.
Not to mention how much easier it would be for dung,bosses,or just general communication for friends and clans.
~~~
If certain people think this is a bad idea then maybe runescape is getting to advanced for you. I think back in the middle ages they didnt type out what they had to say, and press enter. I'm sure they had some form of verbal communication.
And if you dont want to hear a 10 yr old swear then I have news for you... Dont step outside your house.. Because kids now and days have worse mouths then most adults.
With that said I hope the people who think this is bad should open thier hearts give it a chance and stop being so negitive, This update would bring much positive to the game.
As I've said before if this is not something you want to come to the game then let jagex add it and you can just simply CHOOSE not to use it...Nuff Said.
