Teamspeak/Voice chat - NOT CLASSIC, can we ban it?

[Kutsumo]

What a great idea! I also like the idea of limiting people's PCs, but why stop at just system resources? Everyone should be required to have 1999 era peripherals (mouse, keyboard) also! There should also be ban hammers for anyone asking for non-classic features and whining about wanting instancing.

Before TS/Ventrilo me and my "regular group" would just bridge our calls and talk via regular land line.

Lets have a custom OS that has to be installed so that we can monitor what programs someone is using in the background, and then ban them for trying to load or install any other program.

Also people may be able to talk on the phone still so maybe we should have regional LAN parties where computers can have the P1999-OS installed, so we can monitor the usage of any type of voice chat between players. We will need people to monitor these LAN parties though because we don't want people to talk to each other, since that would be cheating. Maybe we can look into sensory deprivation tactics like they use in Gitmo so that no sound can be heard from outside of EQ. I think Sirken could then monitor these LAN centers by video and ban anyone found talking to eachother.

I will only say this:

on classic, my typing skills became so awesome I could have toured the country giving exhibitions.

I always liked that about back then. My guild did not use voice chat of any kind, and we would still get organized and give detailed instructions just via /tells and /gu or /shout if we had the zone to ourselves. And we got stuff done, just using dumb ol' typing lol.

Those days are gone, OP, but I agree with the sentiment. I laugh when I think about what the logs must have looked like during our raids. All the jokes, and the chatter, all the instructions etc., all just typed out.

It was fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
