Xfire support - Page 2

That's already fully possible.
You can simply use MSN, skype, jabber, whatever.

I have even hunted along with a group of Syrtis once, communicating using MSN.

allright. as long as it's not supported and restricted by the game itself, additionnal voice chat cannot really be considered as cheating. but somehow it seems really unfair to use it.

For the most games the clans/guilds use Teamspeak (or similar programs) for voice chat, even for Regnum. Where is the problem?

talking while being dead is cheating cause you can tell what the enemy is doing and where it is going. that is the problem. but it's just a matter of wanting to play a real RPG or spoil the gameplay. you can't prevent people from doing this.

No, there is no work from NGD needed for an MMORPG. You can self add Regnum Support for XFire in the games.ini of XFire. But the playtime in the xfire profile will only counted, if XFire add Regnum as game.

Only for server to peer based shooter games is some work needed to get "Play with friend" worked.
