I'm amused hearing "switch to teamspeak" seeing as that was what was used before... multiple times. And yes I agree, IRC is nice, but it's not voice. It's just text... in which case you might as well just use the forums and/or the game. It's just another thing to have to change screen to, to type, then change back. Any voip client avoids that neccesity.
While there are advantages to VOIP, certainly it is easier show inflections of speech as well as speak easily, text-based communication is better from a standpoint of continual history that can be referred to (check what someone said at a later date) as well as being available not only in a home environment, but also while we are at work, on a bus (smartphone IRC support), at school/uni, at some other location where speech is not an option.
Voice is good, IRC supports every situation.
