Voice chat rooms promote team play.

Anyone who plays any online games big time knows the value of programs like [Teamspeak], [Ventrilo], and even [Skype]. It allows teams of players to communicate more effectively than if they had to type to eachother. Everytime you find yourself typing, you're not controlling in the game, and that could be the difference between a win or a loss.


If you've played World of Warcraft, you've probably used ventrilo. For whatever reason, WoW nerds seem to prefer it over Teamspeak. My Starcraft 2 community uses teamspeak 3, which allows for a couple really cool features, and overall looks and works very nice. These voice chat rooms allow other things among quick responses and increased teamwork.


I've seen Teamspeak used as a way of identifying administrators on the server, or for just generally communicating with friends. It's vastly superior to chat rooms and emailing to be sure, and you can have a lot of fun, and share a quite a bit with others using them. I'll be honest. I don't know how much fun online gaming would be without the use of teamspeak (or ventrilo).
