VIVOX PUGGABLE.COM NOW IN OPEN BETA - World of Warcraft Players Can Connect, Pug & Chat-
WHO: Vivox - the market leader in voice services for online games, virtual worlds and the social web - powers and delivers the best voice communication available.
WHAT: Puggable.com
Puggable.com provides gamers with services to make pick-up groups in MMOs more fun. Currently being tested against the World of Warcraft game community, a website that supports pick up groups (PUGs) commonly formed in MMOs. http://www.puggable.com
WHY: Gamers often have to find similar geared players in certain roles to achieve game objectives. Presently focused on the World of Warcraft community, Puggable assembles both character and instance data from the game so that players can easily build a complementary team. Once the PUG is set, they can use Vivox voice right from their browser, making it easy and intuitive for players to communicate while playing together.
Players can easily:
- Search for other players of complementary skills and comparable level
- Communicate objectives and become familiar with one another via voice prior to entering the game
- Continue communications without switching voice applications into the game
- Invite new players along the way
WHEN: Now in Open Beta, October 15, 2009
WHERE: At http://www.puggable.com - players can go to the site, download the voice chat app and enter the site to hook up with the most compatible group. From there they can go directly into WoW and play without using voice chat capability.
Sounds promising!
