| Station Voice Now Available in EverQuest II and Star Wars Galaxies Station Voice, a service powered by Vivox that allows players to talk to each other in online games, is now available in the role-playing games EverQuest II and Star Wars Galaxies, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), announces. Station Voice, which is scheduled to be available next month in EverQuest, is available for players at no additional cost with their current subscription plan. The initial launch of Station Voice will allow players to: - Talk person-to-person in game with any microphone and headset combo; - Chat with their party, guild or any other group in game; - Play and communicate without worry of a significant increase in game lag; - Manage group/user participation with moderator controls; - Individually mute and set volume per user; - Set up easily without the need for separate software, accounts or registration. In addition to these current features, SOE is planning to implement other Vivox services into Station Voice later this year, such as voice fonts and the ability to connect to games from Station Launcher. SOE's plan to integrate the service with Station Launcher should allow anyone who uses the Station Launcher, even if he or she doesn't otherwise subscribe to an SOE game, to take advantage of these powerful voice chat capabilities. These features, which are intended to support hundreds of players in a channel, are also slated to be extended to other current and future SOE titles, such as The Agency. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Game News :: home page |
