Ventrilo: Did it progress or destroy the MMORPG experience?

[Galacticus]

I am an old school gamer. People ask me how I type so fast and in reality it was because I was forced to get good at typing to play games effectively.


There isn't a better way to teach someone to type then having them type to their friends about some funny shit or something important.

There are a lot of games that wouldn't be able to function the way they do without voice communication because there is just no time to type, and the people who make the game know you will have voice so they don't bother to put that time in.

For MMOs I like typing the most. You never forget what someone says because you can just scroll up, on voice you might not really understand them because of an accent or the distance between their mouth and mic. Its also better for conflict. There are always those people who say "No I didn't say that, or No he told me this and this and this". If it's typed its all there and you cant dispute it.
