If you don't have a microphone, you can still listen to voice chat, you just won't be able to speak. If you choose not to enable voice chat now, you can turn it on later by visiting the options window \#FFFF00(Alt-O)\/c or by running this tutorial again. \#FFFF00(/voice_tutorial)\/c :449f846ad69817dc:Would you like to enable voice chat? :449f846afe21f91c:Yes, enable voice chat. :449f846a2460d769:No, not at this time. :449f846a93683579:Voice Chat Disabled :449f846a9068887a:We've disabled the voice chat feature.
