Voice Chat and Images

[Greed]

Voice chat and sending images through text, sorta like the forum does. Of course you will have to make the text box area look different to hold it, but you know. Global images must be accepted before they are globalled by an admin or mod or w/e, but can be spoken freely in normal text and/or im's, with a command to ignore them of course.

Voice chat is a must.

Teamspeak, etc.

[Greed]

Some people would like to stay away from downloading a program, getting all the details to that program to connect, finding different channels, and telling people on WO to get on TS or Vent. Have it in-game.

[The Muffin Man]

That's their loss, too bad. Doing this will just increase strain on the game, sending so much data at once will lag it up even more. I doubt mickey would want to spend that much time making it anyways, seeing as his upgrade to 2.0 was just re-arranging forms in VB6.

[Greed]

Sucks for the people it'd lag then, get better net ;P

naw, jk, I see where you're coming from, but hey, it's always a possibility, lol

[Malekith]

i think u'd have to make it an add on to ur client cus i wudnt wanna log on n hear wolf... and for images i'd make it a set lot of em, like msns emoticons n stuff...

You want to ruin rpgwo?
Then go through with this idea. This ain't no fancy happy-go-lucky Runescape, it's RPGwo. Why would you exactly need it anyways?
Explain why you think it should be used. Justify your reasoning.

Edit: Wasn't flaming you mate. Just my opinion. Prove me wrong!

[Malekith]

Wrong topic. sorry

[Mack the Blacksmith]

Uhm... Muffin, come to my corner please...

How do you think you communicate on Xbox? Exactly, a Mic... Now, that is making it go fullblown with a shooting game suchas halo 2 or 3 sending "masses" of data....

Mabey the server comp just needs better webz, not us?

[The Muffin Man]

Listen here, nephew.

Coding capabilites from a billion dollar corporation with multiple format geniuses does not equal to married man living in diamond bar with an income in the thousands that uses a drag and drop program to make a game.

Although Muffin already owned you.

You cannot compare, Mickey kudlo, to Microsoft.

and ever notice that Halo's voice system is sometimes very laggy? People cut in and out all the time because of wolfty hosts, RPGwo isnt a shooting game such as Halo 2 or 3. Mickey isnt a company such as bungie.

also in FPS's you don't have time to type a msg, as this could lead to your death, rpgwo is alot slower gameplay compared.... maybe useful for team events, but i doubt it.

[Malekith]

Team speak or ventrillo... Da daaaaaaa

Also, Halo 2,3 doesn't have Codec installed which makes 30 year olds sound like 15 year olds with tigered up lisps.

NOT reading all of these. But Voice chat is good. Insert images bad. Again, it removed the depth and immersion of the gaming experience.

[Emrys Merlin]

Yeah but integrated voice chat is always. Always. Better. RPGWO attracts a lot of kids, and people who don't know what teamspeak or ventrillo are. Mickey probably doesn't want to waste hours of coding and not see his game truly reach a large number of people. What game programmer doesn't want his work to stand the test of time? RPGWO is seriously a game that has the potential to live on among a large number of people, even as Diablo II does. Teamspeak and Vent are great for clans, but a distance based, integrated voice chat, could be fantastic.

[xBN]

have you seen how much rpgwo can lag at the moment?

imagine 20 people trying to voice chat at once, that would really lag... causing the game to become unplayable->less players->dead game.

[Emrys Merlin]

He is refining the code mate. Obviously I mean if he (it) can support it. But with the refinements I expect to see greater efficiency in the flow of packets, as he even mentioned.
