We first heard about Vivox's
Puggable service back at
the Austin Game Developers Conference --
Vivox is a company that runs voice chat for online games, and Puggable is their attempt to target the
WoW audience with a quick and easy way to put a group into voice chat. The site is still in a closed beta, but it's slowly opening up, and so as soon as we got a chance to jump in and test the service out, we took it.
So what's the verdict? While Puggable's basic mechanics seem to work (by following their instructions, you
can get a group into voice chat), the system itself is not quite ready for prime-time. Not only does it have an installation process that most cautious
WoW account holders will scoff at (you have to install an Internet Explorer or Firefox addon, and restart your browser to use the service), but the real draw of the system, being able to browse and see player information at a moment's notice, aren't all there quite yet. Read on for our experiences.
