Here are some reasons that might cause you to look at other alternatives:

• Server Raids
• Less Free File Transfer Size
• Not So Professional UI
• Less Specific Profile Editing
• No Self Hosting
• And more.

Users use Mumble for realism with their positional audio. This means that the farther one is, the more difficult it would be to receive their audio signals. And so Eve Online Players have servers with almost 100 active voice participants at a time. Mumbleis available on Window, Mac and on Mobile Devices.
