Listening to people like Ordaga in teamspeak discuss their job at subway and how their parents shut off his internet killed my immersion. Voice chat sucks, I don’t want to hear the people I play with, I don’t want to know how many dogs they have or how poor they are, I just want to slay a dragon in the land of Norrath. If I want to listen to depressing people with depressing lives I’ll just speak to more of my clients.

dunno if trolling or not. Then why did you talk so much in voice? I think I was the only one that never said a peep (until near the end) and used it to just listen to orders.
But I agree that EQ does NOT need voice. Its a slow paced game and I remember in Temerity on EQmac we never used it, raid instructions were given in guildchat and it worked out fine.
re: pvp,. voicechat and unclassic mousewheel cheapened EQ pvp. Made it too easy to assist train people down. I remember when voice entered into shadowbane mainstream too, did the SAME thing. Instead of more chaotic and spread out mass pvp, it became a very boring game of /assist target and spam insta kill everyone one by one (and vice versa). It became a game of one tactic and not nearly as fun as the pre voice days.
Getting RID of mousewheel would be a huge help for classic EQ pvp on red.
