Good points.

I put voice chat in because I found it much more comfortable than
text chat when playing with my friends, and most chat between MMORPG
players seems to be with their friends. I had already read Richard
Bartle's article, but wasn't sure how voice chat would be recevied
by role players. (Of course, admins have the option to disable voice
chat for their world.)
