quite frankly, this thread has 7 pages and im simply not gonna scan it all just to see if my two cents on this has already been posted, so im just going to post it anyway.
Basically, im not against CCP trying to do this, well done, you realise that your subscribers use a certain service that you want to provide for them yourself, and there is absolutley nothing wrong with that, HOWEVER. making people pay extra for it, when essentially they get the same thing they already have and know how to use, and have used daily from the past 3 years, will bring about people simply just staying put with what theyve got. ventrilo is of absolute crisp quality when its set up right, and teamspeak works in perfect harmony with most things and is low bandwidth, and cost-free. if you try and implement your own integrated voip, i see it hardly being used and its just a lot more bugs caused and more server load to a game that really couldnt use it.
Personally, i think you should offer a pay-for service, which you can choose to rent yourself via your ingame account, for a server on your OWN voip program. and this client interacts with EVE, say, with an overlay or something. but thats it. essentially the voip program is a seperate program to eve. this will minimize bugs, and will run on a seperate server to TQ, and thus not put any strain on it.
and as for whoever said CCP wont listen to us, as theyll just do it anyway. thats simply not true, the community IS thier company. if they dont please us, then they would be screwed. they are always listening to us and i think this thread is being watched carefully by the devs. and rightly so. if they implement it anyway, they obviously have a good reason, or they are highly confident about it. not just do it anyway "cos it was on the list". i have every bit of confidence that when a dev reads this, it will be added to a list of ideas/considerations, and discussed when they come to decide exactly what they are doing, and say "hey, this guy may be a tosser, but hes got a point".
as it stands, im going to /signed this. but take my ideas into consideration. as i think it is a healthy compromise.
