Station launcher moves out of beta, adds voice chat supportfrom Massively by Colin Brennan
So the beta launcher is finally un-betaed! Sony has officially pushed the Station Launcher
into the "final version," dropping in voice chat, simplified menus,
faster servers for downloads, and the ability to run the launcher
without administrative rights as well.The fun stuff, however,
is really contained within the voice update. This new voice, dubbed
"station voice," lets you communicate with friends from within the game
or outside of the game. Creating a room from outside of the game is
done with your in-game character, letting people who are on the station
launcher join you, or people inside of the game join your room from the
inside, no launcher required.Plus, the other new features like
the upgraded servers that will give more downstream bandwidth for game
updates, are certainly nothing to sneeze at.This doesn't mean that Sony is done with upgrading and changing the launcher, as they've already pledged to continue taking user feedback and pushing that into their product to constantly make a better launcher.For the full patch notes, check them out on the EverQuest forums, located in this thread.
