As we noted just a few days ago,
Vivox integration will be coming to EverQuest 2 in the upcoming
Game Update 47. Greg Spence, a designer on the
EQ2 team, states on his personal blog that
voice chat is already rolling out to the test servers. They don't expect GU 47 to hit the live side for almost a month, but they want to make sure this particular patch is tested as heavily as possible.
Greg goes into some interesting commentary about what people are experiencing as they use voice in
EverQuest 2. For example, SOE's engineers assumed people would know that the 'push button to talk' feature was remappable. Instead, users would continue to click with their mouse - a problem a simple tooltip hopefully fixes. The designer concludes with a Q&A between himself and a fictitious player, attempting to clarify any questions you might have about the patch. It's well worth looking into.
