/signed
any game which has a monthly fee for playing should follow CCPs normal policy of having all features and content available to all players at no additional cost.
If CCP ever decides to opt for extra content packages which cost in addition to the normal monthly fee I will leave the game instantly (Just like I did with the other mmorpgs that did that).
VOIP is not extra content in that sense, it is a mere functionality. Still, charging for it - if it makes it ingame - is borderlining it.
The idea of charging extra for VOIP is definatly a step in the wrong direction!

I can't see me paying for this service unless it really does offer something above TS that I actually want to see.
My other concern is, I run two clients on my PC at the same time. Does this mean I will need to pay for 2 accounts to use the VOIP, even though if I do have them both switched on I will be able to hear myself talking on the other client when I use the first one.
I would be much more interested with them fixing the bug that causes the game to crash your PC when you have sound switched on with both clients.

Integrated VOIP systems in games have been known to cause major problems, i rememmber Planetside being down for almost a full week because of their integrated voice system, BF2 has had no end of bugs due to its VOIP system.
What you forgot to mention is that even now with VOIP in Planetside working and absolutely free to use - NOBODY IS USING IT.
Third party voice comm programs and servers have the upper hand simply because they can be used in a multitide of games and not just one, they can be used out of game and when you're disconnected from a game. It is just plain better and more user friendly on all fronts.
I really don't understand as to why CCP are trying to reinvent the wheel here. Sure, its optional and a whiner like me won't have to pay for it if he damn well doesn't want to ( ) But I fail to see the point..

The only reason for doing this is to develop another income stream. Waste of time and resources.
You don't know that, they may not make money off of this at all (I'm sure they will but still, don't know for a fact), the extra fee may just go to the service provider.
why else wud they do it, you idiot ?

Pure Ignorance.
If it was for free that statement would be true. But if it costs RL money thats another story.

I won't use it for the simple reason that when the node your 30 man fleet is on crashes, as it does regularly when u engage, TS/Vent doesn't get taken with it, so it is still possible to have some kind of order and control when you have to madly start trying to re-gang everyone.

There is a lot of misunderstanding floating around in this thread.
EVE's VoiP solution is not developed by CCP. CCP developers are not spending time on VoiP that should be used on the game.
EVE's VoiP solution is not hosted on the same servers as the game. As such, VoiP usage will not affect game lag.
EVE's VoiP servers are not managed by CCP. They are managed by a company that does nothing but VoiP, and as such chances are that they'll be good at it. In any case, VoiP outages will not influence the game.
Since it is not free, CCP is not using significant financial resources on the VoiP project that could be used on the game. The VoiP project is supposed to be self-sustaining.
Basically, if you don't want to use the VoiP service, then just don't use it. Don't ***** about something that doesn't influence you but other people may enjoy.
