I need some help determining which Messenger program is best for what i use it for.

I have been using yahoo messenger and MSN Messenger for quite some time now to talk to friends with the mics while playing games (mostly World of Warcraft.)

Its usually more than just two of us wanting to talk on the mic, so since MSN Messenger only allows a one on one voice chat, that limits out MSN.

Yahoo Messenger allows multiple people to use voice chat, but only one person can talk at a time (i.e. If i am talking to friend #1, and friend #2 starts talking, my voice gets cut out and we can only hear friend #2)

This is posing more of a problem now-a-days since more and more friends playing at the same time want to talk.

So, basically what i am looking for is a Messenger program that allows voice chat with multiple people that is clear and allows people to talk all at once.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :bye:

I would recommend xfire and ventrilo for gaming communication (both easy to find with a google search)
