Ventrilo + TeamSpeak > WOW Voice Chat
August 20th, 2007I’ve been playing around with this voice chat in WOW, and I don’t really like it. The voice quality is relatively low; I’d equate it to the Counterstrike voice chat. It’s probably useful for public groups, but far below reasonable standards for guild and private use.
I’d use it for a 5 man public group, but I wouldn’t raid with it. Likewise, it’s ok for a public Counterstrike server, but I wouldn’t use it on the CAL level.
It does, however, provide evidence for the computer gamer saying, “male until proven female.” You’ll finally have some evidence that AWPgirl83 is really a dude. Or, strangely, her mic is always broken.

This is not the first time I’ve heard similar comments regarding the newly “built in” voice capability of WoW. Unless the developers of the game make some huge advances with the product it will be short lived, or used only in scenarios like those listed in the previous statement.
As a part time gamer myself, i’m curious to see what the final outcome is in regard to the WoW voice chat… Until then, I’ll keep my vent, and TS servers…
Ed…
