WoW Europe forums: Voice chat FAQ

Still wondering about the finer details of World of Warcraft‘s upcoming voice chat feature for patch 2.2.0? Blizzard spokesman Salthem over at the WoW Europe Forums has set up an FAQ for this particular matter, which should help in explaining how the game’s now-integral VoIP system works.

If you’re of the Public Test Realms, we imagine this guide will go a long way to help explain any problems you may have encountered while experimenting with this new feature.

If you’re a newcomer, consider this a teaser of what to expect when this new feature becomes available with the next game update. The full list is available for viewing at the Europe’s WoW forums, although we’ll also provide some snippets here to give you an idea of what to expect:

Q: When can I try it out?

A: You can help us test the voice chat feature right now by logging in to the Public Test Realm and trying it out. Visit the PTR section of account management (located at WorldofWarcraft.com) to download the PTR client. If you want to play on the PTR using an existing character, instructions for copying a character to the PTR are also available at the page linked to above.

Q: Why did you choose to implement voice chat?

A: Since launching World of Warcraft, we have made a number of improvements to the interface to offer players more convenience and ease of use. The voice chat system is another such feature. It is simple to use and fully integrated into World of Warcraft, making it that much easier for players to communicate with each other.

Q: Will I be able to customize voice chat through World of Warcraft, or is it accessed via the account management webpage?

A: You can access the voice chat options via the in-game options menu. The parental control options of the voice chat feature are accessible via the parental control system located on the official World of Warcraft website.
