Back in the olden days of Wurm, there was in-game voice chat. It worked probably exactly how it sounds; you plug in your headset or mic, and you talk. The only people that could hear you were people in your local area. Honestly, it was a pretty awesome feature and I've never forgotten how sad it made me when they took our shiny voice comms away.
I understand the devs had good reason to remove the mic integration back then, but today is a new day and a new year. We've made wonderful advances in Wurm Online over the years, and I think it's about time we get our in-game voice chat back. I hope you're reading this Rolf.
