People would find any other comfortable enough way to communicate. If not by alternative utilities, then by some on-line services for sure.

Without any form of communication, any and all factions would cease to exist. Lack of simple tool to organize, casual communication and internal discussion would inevitably end of most if not all non-spontaneous activity on this server. Players would be more isolated, forced to whim of random encounters of truly random quality. Not to mention it allowed me to keep in touch with people who are not on Disco anymore, or in general are hard to reach given timezones and lack of free time. Without Skype, I would likely quit disco back in mid-2009 and never come back, finding no attachment with community whatsoever. Many would follow the suit.

tl;dr final nail

Skype has been a necessary evil so that groups can be organized and cohesive. This is a multiplayer game, let's play together.

It would be more fun if nobody used Skype (or similar programmes), and it would be easier to leave.

Tracking people by IP is illegal. At least in Poland. And perhaps in majority in Europe, unless you are Police with writ.

On the topic: faction dies sooner or later. Using Messengers is the fastest way to communicate, beating out forum PMs.

Disco w/o SKype would be..... boring. I recently started using TS and must admit that Disco became more fun to me.

Skype is the game, the rest is a side effect.
