SOE, Vivox ready voice communication tools for MMORPG players |
Ó
While voice chat is nifty, it also brings its own concerns with it (bandwidth issues, for instance). Add that to a host of features that MMORPG players wish they had, such as the ability to mask one's own voice, and it seems you've got a pretty tall order.
The good news is that Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and Vivox, Inc. have stepped to the plate at the 2008 Game Developers Conference with the announcement of a slew of new voice communication tools for MMORPG players.
Exactly what features can SOE's and Vivox's communication tools offer to players? Check these out:
- a special PIN
number that North American players can dial in from either a land line or cell phone and connect
with fellow guild members.
- in-game voice mail
- the ability to receive external calls in SOE games
- buddy lists and volume controls
- commands to join and leave audio chat channels at will
- free access to this service even if you're playing a non-SOE MMORPG
- other features planned for the future, such as
- broadcast messages,
- SMS text messaging
- an initial offering of six high-quality voice fonts that replace a player's actual voice with something completely different.
