Voice is on the way, with closed beta trials set to start very soon. For some people it can't come fast enough. Others are irritated or indifferent. Some just fear not knowing what the change will bring.Like most big issues (and this is a big one, considering the amount of media attention it's starting to pull already) there's a whole range of opinions and reasons for those opinions. Where do you stand on voice? Will you be trying to get into the beta? Will you be a voice user, or one of the silent?









21. I am very disapointed in the decision to add voice chat throughout SL. I have really enjoyed this game up until now, but I will not be interested any longer if VC becomes the required or cultural norm.
While there are high numbers of people who visit the world for short periods of time. Most of the residents I socialize with are in it for the role play. When they purchase land and clothing or any other object that ultimatly contributes to in world economy and Linden real world bottom line, they do so for this purpose, not to attend classes or attend rl corporate events.
Once VC is wide spread, I think for most this game ceases to be a safe place for fun and exploration.
I think annonimity is key, SL most likely will no longer be interesting to the majority of regular users and they, like me, will move on.
