Integrated Voice Chat in D&D Online

Turbine has announced that Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach will include integrated voice chat, allowing players to talk back and forth without the use of a third-party program. A snip from the announcement:

Dungeons & Dragonsâ„¢ Online: Stormreachâ„¢ will be the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game to offer integrated voice chat. Unlike previous MMOGs, voice chat in Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach will not require players to use their own system resources and bandwidth to host a chat server or run third party chat programs while they play the game. Everything is fully integrated and customizable right in the game client! Voice chat only works between players in the same party so you don’t have to worry about hearing too many conversations at once.
