You’re not on a crusade yet you’re trying to imply they are lying in order to remove a feature that nobody was using 😛 Yeah sure buddy lol ---

It’s a very inefficient use of resources to develop and maintain something that almost no one will use. There are many 3rd party voice programs that deliver better and cheaper services. ---

There is no reason to derail this thread into CCP fanboy consoomerism.

Back when voice ip was in eve. There were way more players. I imagine the servers would handle it better now. Besides, it wasn’t bad at hearing commands. Just bad at having full conversations. I agree its probably better for the game now. ---

I agree with you that it was great to have in game. Made things very easy. But the other posters here are right. People didn’t use it enough, because the other options had various benefits. Maybe make a new corp and discord server and advertise free comms, etc., in your region? You could even have music channels for a Nisuwa Free Radio or whatever. I know some lowsec and NPC null areas where most folks are in a common chat channel and discord, even mortal enemies. Not as good as in game, true, but the community is still there. ---

The paper always gets stuck and you know these where you just wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe for all eternity until there is finally nothing left. With the Linen wrapped sticked you can just rotate like marshmallows over a fire. We are truely degenerating. ---

Again, it DID have it and 0.4% of the playerbase used it, so its not about being cheapskates its about not including a feature nearly nobody used when it did exist, and it was here long before discord even existed lol ---

maybe that is why we need an update now. Back when nobody used it almost everybody used teamspeak exclusively. Then came mumble (thanks goons (grrr)) Now discord with a crapload of servers. Join this server Join that server. Now comms is this server but stay on that server for pings. So with the ■■■■■■■■■■■ that is discord and current voip offerings. Perhaps ingame voip would get used more again. We could have a 3-6 months trial period. If it is barely used again and ccp scrapes it so be it. no hard feelings ---
