So I and a few guildmates in Dark Archive were thinking of ideas today and I suggested that TLOPO adds in-game voice chat to the game. It would be really practical for many reasons and could be easily moderated. First off, in order to use the voice chat, you would have to prove that you are of a certain age to use the chat so that it is limited to mature players and keeps the younger kids safe from the dialog that may occur. You could prove your age by reading and accepting that you are at least 14 years old (Or whatever the age may be that is decided) and then TLOPO would allow you to partake in the voice chat. Secondly, it could be turned on and off through an option in the settings menu so even if you are older than 14 you don't have to hear everyone speaking around you. Also, you could mute players that annoy you using the ignore function that is already in the game, and then you don't have to deal with them 
. I know many of you are thinking, what happens if a group of people is mic spamming from a different island and you cant mute them? The solution is simple, all you have to do is limit the range the voice chat works from. I.E two players would have to be within a certain range to hear each other.
The reason why this feature would be so beneficial to the game can apply to many situations:
Sailing with friends is awesome, but nothing kills the fun like having to exit the wheel of the ship just to type a sentence to your friends. How easy would it be to hold down the X key and talk to them without stopping your sailing or ruining the fun
Secondly, voice chat would be awesome for relaying a large amount of information to a group of people. There is nothing worse than having to type 3 paragraphs of information to get your message across. Not to mention the fact that your message could be taken differently in text form as you cant tell the tone of the message. If you are speaking to friends with your mic, you can easily communicate without stopping what you are doing.
To build off of this statement I would like to give an example. Imagine you are with a group of friends during an invasion of Tortuga. Imagine having to stop every 30 seconds to type 5 sentences while getting hammered from the oncoming skeleton army. Instead, why not just hold down that X key and speak to them while still being able to slay some skeletons.
EDIT: If users are abusing the voice chat they can be reported through the feature already in the game and the mods will handle the situation. (I.E new players advertising another game or excessive cursing)
In conclusion, I hope that this seems like it would be a great addition to the game, as it does to me! It offers many beneficial items to the game that we have never seen before and could attract a new selection of players to TLOPO.
Thanks for your time,
