Nethaera releases Voice Chat FAQ for World of Warcraft

 

If you’re playing World of Warcraft, then you’ve undoubtedly heard about the introduction of in-game VoIP. No longer will players have to use third party solutions for their communication needs since this service will ideally provide each player with immediate information regarding the status of their party.

As Blizzard Poster/ Community Manager Nethaera promised, she’s now posting a listing of the Frequently Asked Questions in the forums which has vital information that every player who plan on using this should know. Since the list is pretty long, here are a few of the most commonly asked questions about the service:

Q: What is the new voice chat feature in World of Warcraft?
A: The voice chat feature is the proprietary in-game voice communication system for World of Warcraft. It allows World of Warcraft players to communicate with each other using a simple-to-use interface that is seamlessly integrated with the game.

Q: Is the voice chat feature free?
A: There is no additional charge to use the voice chat feature; it is included with your monthly subscription fee.

Q: How can I deal with someone whoÂ’s being disruptive in voice chat?
A: While voice chat is not moderated by our in-game support team, weÂ’ve provided tools to enable players to appropriately block or otherwise avoid voice chat from unwanted sources. At any time, you can right-click a playerÂ’s name and select the Mute option to avoid receiving voice chat from that player. If you right-click a playerÂ’s name and select the Ignore option, you will not receive voice chat or text chat from that player.

To avoid having uninvited players join your private chat channel, you can set a password for the channel. We also recommend viewing the updated Parental Controls page in account management, which now includes the ability to block or alter the use of voice chat on an account. For more information on how to use the voice chat features and controls, please visit our online voice chat manual. (Parental Controls Page and Voice Chat Manual should be available soon.)
