Yesterday, I was told about "xFire", a program like AOL's chat by fellow guild members, that is useful for Guild/ Team members to have to coordinate.

Supposedly, it also keeps some stats for ya.

But I'm a bit reluctant to download anything 3rd party for Guild Wars. Has anyone else heard about this?

And is it any better than the chat team/guild feature already part of GW? Seems to a be a bit redundant to me.

Everyone uses xFire! It's great for FPS games because it allows you to hook up with your clanmates/friends on random servers. It's nice for GW in particular because it allows you to chat a friend/guildmate without using the rather lackluster in-game interface to communicate with them.

XFire is a highly reputed program. It has inherent support for the majority of FPSs out there. I don't know if the time tracker works with Guild Wars, but it tracks the amount of time you play certain games. This function is built into Guild Wars with the /age command though.

If you need a program to talk to clanmates, xFire could be it. I don't know if you can voice chat with it though, so you may want to look into TeamSpeak if that's what you need.

xFire does not have voice capabilities. The time stats do work for GW. It's a great program.
