Hey all,
Wanted to let you know of a new voice chat web/desktop app my friends and I, as well as many people playing FFXIV, have been using. It's called Discord and it's made by Hammer and Chisel, founded by Jason Citron, who created OpenFeint. Also in the list of developers is Stanislav - whom many of you may know (made Guildwork!).
Information about Discord can be found here: https://discordapp.com/

Great things about this app:
- Free
- No user/room limit
- Super light-weight
- Clients for web, Windows, Mac, Android/iOS (voice chat coming for mobile soon)
- Can easily invite friends by just giving them a link url, so it's very PUG friendly
- Super easy to setup
- Super clear voice chat
- Very clean and intuitive interface that has good looking integrated text chat
And there are many other great things! There are other features coming very soon, such as in-game overlay, and the voice chat in the mobile apps. I personally prefer this much more than Curse.
Let me know what you all think - let's try to get as many people using this as possible!
