Voip

Hey gang:

Just wondering what if any VOIP chat software any you might use
while on City Of Heroes/Villains? And for the developers, are there
any plans to eventually bundle a VOIP in the client?

I am aware that at least one major MMO does offer a client VOIP
option -However having only ever played COH/V, I'm not sure if
the bundle route would even worth exploring.

Either way, I do use Skype on a regular basis. But despite the
immense benefit of voice quality due to P2P (Peer To Peer) is there
another provider that could be recommended?

Thanks in Advance and Cheers!

I am not really one for voice chat that much, but the ones I know are used the most by some of the people here are: TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, Skype, and GTalk. Usually it's an SG that hosts a server for one of those programs, but the usage is not always restricted to members only.

I have a Ventrillo account that I have used in the past for gaming and just chatting (before I figured out Skype) that has worked out great. One person has to host Vent, but it only costs approximately $35.00 per year. It's relatively easy to upload and use.

I haven't tried the multiple conferencing on Skype yet, but since, as Turg mentioned above, you don't have to have a host and it doesn't cost anything, it might be a good option. I've had a good experience using it one-on-one.

I unsuccessfully tried to use Yahoo conferencing before, and that was a pain in the rear end to try to figure out, so I wouldn't recommend that at all.

Most use TS or vent i would say.

Thanks for all the feedback! Due to the fact that I'm comfortable with Skype,
I'll probably be sticking with that option. However I am greatful for the info
and available options.

Cheers!
