Oh for the love of customer service, I want that desktop voice chat! I can answer questions without having to log in or reply via email!
The RL phone in SL? NO. I'd have to put the number on the national do not call.. because I'd really rather not get telemarketers and such in SL.. the note cards are bad enough.

If I want phone calls I'll use a phone.
Considering the client freezes that have been endemic since voice was introduced ... no, I don't want any more new voice features, thanks.

OK this is sort of OT, but relative to Voice, at any rate. Remember that thread from someone who bought a product and didn't receive it and tried to contact the seller but got no response, and we all said "have you accidentally muted the seller?" Would this affect Voice as well? Like could the seller try to contact this person via Voice, or would that be muted as well? Anyone know?

From: Oryx Tempel Like could the seller try to contact this person via Voice, or would that be muted as well? Anyone know? If someone has you muted, you can initiate a voice IM call, but they'll just be silently rejected on the receiver's end (and if they don't have voice turned on, they don't see any indication of voice IMs ever). Not sure if muting actually mutes voice in main chat as well, but if it doesn't it's probably an oversight they'll fix in the future. |

From: Nika Talaj In this week's Grid Talk (Dr. Dobb's Island), some new features were unveiled, basically, two groups of features I can see all of those features being useful to people depending on what they're doing, but to this one... " Desktop chat client that communicates with inworld residents" I say, hooray! That will definitely be useful to me and it's something I've wanted forever, assuming it's a text chat client.

Anyone know? muting voice and text chat are separate if you mute someone on text you can still hear them and vice versa

i wish the whole voice thing would go on the back burner.
in case anyone has forgotten, ll promised the introduction of voice wouldnt impact grid stability/performance. remember that performance and stability went down the tubes once voice was launched, and has never recovered. sl is a worse place since the introduction of voice.

That will definitely be useful to me and it's something I've wanted forever, assuming it's a text chat client. This one caught my eye, too.. Wonder how they're going to implement it - will it still require an avatar to be in-world with all the baggage that usually follows that around? |
