The Monumental Technology Suite is a middleware solution for MMO developers to create a platform for vast online virtual worlds. Epic MMOs such as Blizzard‘s World of Warcraft usually don’t come with their own online voice service, requiring players to provide their own third-party voice communication support.

The integration of Vivox Precision Studio into the suite gives the development platform an edge over other engines and middleware solutions provided for MMO developers today, although it is unclear whether this integration will set licensing and development budgets back. Rik Alexander, CEO of Monumental Games, said:

Our players, our licensees, and the market in general all expect integrated and enhanced voice communications in the next generation of MMO games. By partnering with a sophisticated market leader like Vivox, we can develop imaginative and innovative next generation MMO games and provide unique gameplay, communication and community experiences for the long term.

Vivox voice technologies were utilized in Linden Labs’ Second Life, which also sports the company’s virtual existence within the game.
