This Sunday at 2pm Cavern time (9pm GMT) I will be conduction a 2 hour live interview with Reteltee (guild advisor to the DRC) on URU Radio.

http://radio.kahstudios.com/

Please post any questions you want to ask him on the website's forums, at http://radio.kahstudios.com/ otherwise your question might not get asked!

I will try to be in the cavern in the URU Radio hood throughout the show, so if enough people turn up, I will hold a live Q&A session on air with Reteltee live from the Cavern !

Exciting stuff, so if you want some insight into the DRC's new Guild advisor, I suggest you post your questions, listen to the show, and log into live for the Q&A !

I will not be able to attend the show. Will either a recording or a transcript be posted at your website?

Well I think I joined your forum way back when but don't remember my login details. I also noticed that there are 2 choices for listening. I don't have either application. What would you recommend?

This doesn't make any sense. The two times this "Reteltee" guy has showed up in the cavern, he wants to use voice chat, so half the people there couldn't hear him. Now he's doing an interview, but it's live internet radio. And he's supposed to be a guild coordinator?

Maybe he's just trying to be more personable?

But, yeah, it would be nice if he used the same sort of communication routes the majority of the players use.

I see two sides of this: voice being more personable and easier for Reteltee (I recall he mentioned he was a slow typer) and on the other hand voice making archiving (and thus catching up afterwards) difficult to impossible. I suggest volunteer speech-to-text transcribers jump in when Reteltee voices in game.
I'd like to add one more downside to voicing that's often forgotten: If English isn't your first language, understanding voice can be very difficult. I have heard from a lot of folks who are able to understand written English well enough that they hardly understand what's said with voice.

I would say that even if English [is]is[/i] your first language, understanding voice chat can be difficult if their microphone isn't any good, or the connection is poor or they have a strong accent you're not used to!

Not talking as a mod unless I say so

the only reteltee i have been too he did his Q&A in voice chat, that I relayed via typing. You just need someone really fast on the keys to relay voice. Just makes it more difficult that's all

Still looking for more questions At this rate I've got free reign over him.

If you need a password reset or anything on my forums pm me here or msg me on my msn at sam.byard (at) msn (dot) com and I can reset it manually

Well, when "Reteltee" can communicate with me the same way I communicate with everyone else in the game, he can apply to be my guild coordinator.

I'm actually a fan of voice chat, even though I don't have a mic hooked up. It would definitely be a good idea for him to use text (or pre-arrange a speech-to-text relayer) during events though.

I used to dislike hearing voice chat in the cavern - it just sounded like people talking into microphones. Then I overheard a group in the Watcher's Pub talking about voice chat and how it's better with EAX enabled. So I turned it on.
Wow, is it better. People no longer sound like they're sitting at home talking into a microphone - the sound feels like it's coming from their avatar, in the world. The volume fades with distance and moves between speakers you turn or move (great with headphones), and the acoustics of the location are taken into effect (echo echo echo). Suddenly what was once an immersion-killer for me became an immersion-enhancer. Maybe I'll hook up a mic of my own some day.

But I've wandered. Short answer - voice chat is cool for talking normally, but let's stick with text for the more official stuff.
