I've posted way earlier in the thread, and I can't wade through all the pages to see if this was already mentioned, but I kind of had an insight, lol.
Maybe you should limit the voice chat to Dungeoneering and activities, at least at first, as a sort of trial? Voice chat would make activities in general more fun and well-communicated, and communication is everything in Dungeoneering, Castle Wars, Soul Wars, Stealing Creation, etc.
Maybe start with that, and extend it out if necessary? I don't really see a whole lot of use for voice outside of the above mentioned with the exception of boss hunting/clans.

The idea of voice chat should be a good one doing "activities" but it will be good as well for friends and clans to communicate. The issue is your gonna have to create a program and all of us have to use it, and the same time it needs to be secure, IPs and no vulnerabilities. That means gonna take a long time to get that up and runnning

It's been done before on other MMO's, seems to help out.
Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me, perhaps you could use it for all on your FL?

ps.@Fanax: I think It would probly be for members.

I play with family members and sometimes use voice chat on the phone at the same time; while playing without sound.
Although I've played for years without sound, I'm pretty sure that would change if voice-chat was added. I think it's a great idea, as headphones would surely save my neck.

To me, Voice-Chat doesn't sound like a good idea. I like the fact that you don't know who your playing with, I mean I can see how it could work if it was a freinds only thing but I like not knowing what kind of people you're playing with on RuneScape. Plus, If someone was getting real mad they could just instead of just typing text-which doesn't show emotion as bad, if at all-they could just spam yell at people. I don't know why I put that in there but I just don't think Voice chat is a good idea...
BUT... That's only my opinion. I don't really care, as long as there is either a setting for 'friends' or 'off' it is okay with me. :) Have fun if this passes :)

Fusionbird,
I see your point there, but think of it like this.
If Jagex could some how implement it in a way like a Clan Chat and someone would run it and be able to rank players in it just like the Clan Chat, the owner of it and ranked members would be able to "Kick" Unwanted players from your perspective voice chat.
I think it would be a great idea to make it like that.

Oh, okay. I see you have a good point, I never thought of it like that, but it makes perfect sense to me now. :)

I thought of it like the whole world (public chat) would have a voice chat option, but I guess that would not really work. O_o

voice chat can be very usefull but also takes away to report abuse button for offensive language so i suggest that jagex makes the third party software needed for voice chat acceptable such as ventrillo etc.. but never put it into runescape itself thats basically opening up a window for people to become abusive its basically a do this at your own risk thing and if it were put into runescape it should have a parental consent block on it if its needed.
