When I had cable it seemed to work just fine. I always have problems with it when I'm on DSL.

UDP may be removed in the next client, js.

Upnp?!

As well as microphone use?

I guess so.

Would be awesome if Graal had built-in Ventrilo-like voice communication. Each server can create channels under their set, otherwise there would be global ones. Only problem is that it would be virtually impossible to have someone there all the time moderating it.

omfg this

Nobody moderates the current voice chat so why would they need to moderate a more useful version of voice chat?
If people don't like what they're hearing they can vote to kick somebody from the channel, or leave themselves.

Graal provides the ability to mute people

So I exclude my router and UDP works. I've done everything with that piece of crap and it still doesn't work.

Last thing I can think of is calling customer service on my router.

are you serious?

I'm ****ing serious.

Why would it suddenly become a requirement to have people who sits in the voice chat channels all day listening to everything everybody says and punishing people for talking about vaginas or drugs when you don't have somebody who sits on RC all day skimming every line of chat and PMs and punishing people for the same thing there?

People that want to talk about that stuff are going to do it, no matter how many poorly defined chat filter rules you make. They're just going to use V's instead of U's and @'s instead of A's.
You just have to trust that the people who don't want to hear/read that stuff are smart enough to not read it, or mute the people talking about it.

that's pretty stupid

Why? Only a minuscule percentage of the playercount actually use it or know it's actually there.

As for a vent-similar chat, as long as you can mute it'll be fine.

Try sparring.
