Standing ovation for ORION!!! Please use facebook for making new friends you cannot make in RL, and don’t bother who is just asking for a genuine SL experience!
However, I never considered letting avatars know how my voice is because I consider my own voice part of my privacy sphere, it’s not virtual people’s business .. and even if i could solve this problem using a morphed voice, I wouldn’t do it … I am rather annoyed to be forced to use a headset, desktop, monitor, keyboard and mouse, that’s enough!
However I think voice morphing could be useful for RPG players, some of them make really impossible to type while you’re playing and, if there are people who don’t want to use voice (and it’s not anyone else’s business why do not they want to use voice …) voice morphing could improve communications, or simply help players not to lose their friends out of the game because they cannot answer any IM while they’re playing, maybe for hours as if often happens with GOR.

@Angelic – Gee, don’t ya think its kind of silly to try and hold a real life relationship inside a video game where people are encouraged to present themselves in any cartoon way or form that they imagine? It sounds to me like what you’re looking for would be better suited for a dating site like Match.com or EHarmony – certainly not a video game like Second Life.

Leaves it wide open for people to pretent they are women/men
from personal experience it is not nice to be with some one a long time then find out they are a man and not a woman. and the cost is rediculous

@ alex.

ban anyone using said clients, or taking them off of their approved list if said client is on there.

There’s no future in SL, and this is LL grabbing at straws to slow the inevitable from happening before they can sell the company to some bigger company.

Charging for features in an open source piece of software, eh? What does LL intend to do when the third party clients throw in voice morphing for free?

MorphVOX would be nice, if it would run under Linux.

yea its sad i know i even told them to take my sim back because of all the crap in the game that was costing me real life money and you know whats funny??? they never took back my sim even after i told my teneants i gave it up and then months later they banned me and ip blocked me stating I owned them almost 900.00 for tiers and I lost my avatar and a 12,000 usd inventory because of that but its cool thats why we have attorney’s. I been building in the game for years and they keep all my stuff and as they see it its ther griefters making them the money so they keep them and ban us instead, they won the fight this round but its not over legally.

@LittleLostLinden

Sadly, I have to agree, but it seems Linden Labs are currently more interested in scamming you out of every penny and then packing up and shipping it straight over to some Megacorp/”BIGGER” games company.(Which, if in the hands of Electronic Arts… We’re Fucked.)

This is assuming you’d still want to use v2.x in the first place.
