eryn_, this reminded me of you:
Voice Chat Can Really Kill the Mood on WoW
excerpt quote: "...Meanwhile, shy or geeky players have long thrived in text-based chat, where their social impediments matter less; but they wither when interaction becomes a cocktail party.
"Throw up a (Ventrilo) server, the girls stop talking completely, the shy people shut up mostly and all that is left are the 12- to 18-year-old guys, and it becomes a locker room," as one poster complained on a sprawling, superb debate on the Terra Nova blog."
Oh, and video link: Code Monkey (WoW video based on a song, lyrics here)
