Then don't enable it when playing on those servers?

Or don't go those servers at all

far less people will actually participate in voice chat if they have to use a third party program. nobody is disputing that third party programs will have a higher quality, because that's not the point. in-game voice chat is more accessible to the average user, meaning the average user will be more likely to join in. i'm sure most of the people making a case for this already do use skype and teamspeak (i do). the fact that we already do but still want an in-game alternative should tell you something

I see how it can be more accessible, I just believe personally that the quality / features loss isn't worth implementing it in-game. It's not the entire point itself, but it's kind of a big factor to be able to hear others in the game clearly.

..but we don't know what the quality would be like? what are you basing that on?
Kingdaro:
The fact that TeamSpeak / Skype already has a ton of features, and re-implementing them all in Blockland would be hell. And if you don't implement some of these features, you're missing some nice features. Plus the fact that Blockland simply wasn't made for voice chatting, while the previously named programs were, and would do a hell of a lot better job at it in all cases.
In any case, you're not going to be changing my mind, and I won't be changing yours, so arguing like this is kind of pointless.
