<p align="center"><a href="http://youtu.be/cde01HNKQVw">Click here for the latest SOEmote Video!</a></p> <p>EverQuest II fantasy characters come to life using your facial expressions and altered voice. You frown and growl, so does your avatar. Laugh and your avatar laughs with you!  It's all possible with the phenomenal new feature called SOEmote™ that truly does put your facial expressions on your game avatar in real time! Also, you can alter your voice so you become a real troll, ogre, ratonga, or whatever you choose.</p>

<p>I've been trying to set up SOEmote with my webcam (Logitech Webcam C600 if that matters any), but I keep getting the error message "Webcam is in use or not functioning." I tested the webcam with other software, so I can confirm that it is working. Then I closed everything I could think of that could possibly be using my webcam, but I still get this error. Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions or solutions?</p>

<p>Every time I try to calibrate it crashes my computer.. and, I'm sorry, but the voice fonts in no way make you sound like a "real" anything.</p>

wow, we called it that they would break things with this new "feature". Are you amazed yet? I'm not, i'm saddened that such a great game is in such a sad state.

<p>I don't know what you are experiencing and why, but SOEmote works like a charm on my laptop. No problems at all. I'm sure there might be some difficulties and errors with certain webcams, microphones, etc, but I'm also sure that a lot of those errors are the user's faults for not properly adjusting, incorrect setting properties, or stuff like that. Don't always blame SOE for stuff that might just be your own lack of knowledge.</p>
