Will there be a social module? If so, how will we talk to people? Voice, text, or something new?asked by SixxJo

Yes, we're planning on having a Planet Side Module which also would be the social module. That's really to develop buying and selling stuff down on the planet and, say in a bar, interacting with other players and talking to them. We're looking at various ways to do the communicating. Obviously there will be the standard chat window stuff which you've seen a lot before.So we'll have that, but we're more excited by one of the things we're playing with, this thing called Live Driver which will allow you to have your webcam look at your face and you can sit on your computer and speak, like I'm speaking to you right now, and then if you are playing the game, in your version of they client you would see my actual avatar mouth moving while you're hearing my voice. So if we have that happening, which we've got some early tests that look very promising, I think it will allow a lot more immersion in the interaction areas.Then the only issue we have is that we would need to have some control to make sure people can't be obnoxious or rude or grief people verbally.We're still figuring out how we'll be able to police that, whether we'd allow people, like you'd need an invite to say "Is it ok if this person talks to you?" and you say yes, then you can do all that or not.But we're gonna really try to push is on the communication and immersion side. The Live Driver thing I think would be very immersive and very cool.
