so i just bought guild wars for pc and its great. and one of my friends has it as well and we go out and kill stuff...good times...but its a pain in the butt to keep typing out stuff to him, so i was wanting to use one of those programs that runs in the background like Roger Wilco so you can chat with each other over the net using a usb headset. what is the best program for this? also, can anyone recommend a usb headset (headphones and mic) for thist? i have a logitech headset and its okay, but its really tight on my head.

recommendations?

Rodger Wilco works pretty well. It's free.

what about a good headset? i tried teamspeak last night, and it works great, but my crappy SOCOM headset for my ps2 sucks big donkey balls. i need a nicer headset...any suggestions?

I use a normal computer mic and a set of USB surround sound headphones.
Roger Wilco works ok. Better when the functionality is built into the game though.
