Does anyone have a suggestion for a good or decent, free online chat program we could use? It would sure make our gaming so much easier and fun if we could talk to each other as we run quests, dungeons, etc.:);) Thanks ahead of time.

    My guild uses raidcall. It's free and has all the expected features such as channels and such. I know other guilds us ventrillo and teamspeak.

    Also Skype does a good job in Neverwinter since the Party is limited to 5.
    Or just the "basic" ones, Teamspeak, Ventrillo, raidcall,...

    But Skype got the little advantage, no server needed - disadvantage also, it takes more of the bandwith than the others do.

    Highest quality app atm is mumble. Vastly superior in many ways to most of the others listed. It's what my guild uses.

    Works perfect with NW including the overlay.

    We use Skype, as well. Simple, easy, free, and seems to be an invisible load on the game. I'm not sure how to monitor the bandwidth usage, but I don't see any degradation in gameplay with Skype active. (great for my usual 2-man group)

    Teamspeak or Mumble since many PC gamers have the "Big Three", i.e. Ventrillo + Teamspeak +Mumble.

    Also, some people refuse to install Skype (due to bloatware, spyware and bandwidth) and many do not know of Raidcall, and certainly do not have it installed.
