I am not going to requre a mic. Actually, I still prefer text chat, because that can be logged. Voice chat is needed for FPS things, but if you're commanding people, a combination of the two produces the best result. But, yeah there will be voice chat... we'll try to get that working after we get basic networking going.
As a side note, I can set up a teamspeak server, for anyone who's interested... Temp hold over till we get rakvoice working. :P
