I can see where that would be a good fit

Oh yes, obviously voice communications are even more fun, but people tend to not have microphones and/or tend to not like to speak to them (especially in their non-native languages). Also that stuff requires setting up a server so it isn't as low effot as IRC potentially is. Sad really. Listening/speaking is so much quicker to do while playing than reading/writing.

That said it seriously isn't expensive to rent a server. I pay about half an euro per month for my small Mumble server and anyone who regularily hosts games probably shouldn't have problems running a server from the host computer.
