Atari has today confirmed that the forthcoming MMORPG Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach will be the first MMO to feature fully integrated voice chat, without the need for players to use their own system resources or bandwidth. The move means that the ability to use voice chat should cut down on the rabid-like typing that players of other MMORPGs, and also enable stronger communication to be kept during mass battles.

Hosting for the game will be provided by UK publisher Codemasters who seem to be throwing their full weight behind MMORPGs at the moment with the likes of RF Online also on their books.

Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach will be released in March 2006 on PC.

We'll have further news shortly...
