Thats why I always believed Home should build a glicthers zone or an apartment for sale that had beams and a roof that was open to let glitchers glitch.

Glitching is fun. It is a thrill to say “hey look at what I can do”. It gives you a sense of accomplishment when new players look at you and say “how did you do that”? It is an escape from the nOObs and trolls that hit on anything resembling a female avatar. It shows you how far the developers went in their designing, and where they “got lazy”. With regards to the FF XIII space, it shows you the marvel and beauty of the imagination that went into designing the space surrounding the “official space”.
Home is where I go to escape reality, and the stress that comes with living RL. The people I associate with on Home are my friends, and the people I would like to spend time with if they lived down the street. It is a global meeting place where I can find people who share common ideas and interests. In my opinion, glitching is not the reason I am on Home, but it does make Home more fun and interesting. If there was no ability to glitch, I would still use Home, but I would never buy another personal space, as the default is good enough for me.

Glitching, for some, is wide eyed curiousity and its this curiousity that drives them, maybe or perhaps the bragging rights will come into this later but at the very start at least, its the curiosity that takes hold. It shows the creativity behind these people’s minds and i am blown away all the time by what they can do. Sony shouldn’t be banning them they should be hiring them as potential bug testers for their games.
I don’t see anything wrong in glitching in your own Private space as long as it isnt affecting anyone.

In the Mall by Christina Lee’s video screen a dude(ette) was appearing out of the wall and then going back in. I was amused and decided to “chase” them and they would disappear behind the wall. At one point I asked if they could see and hear me and the reply was “Yes.” So the game continued until finally I said “You win.” and the “game” was over. It was silly fun and as far as I know did no harm.

As far as I’m concerned if glitching does no harm to game play or doesn’t interfere with general going on’s and if it’s something that annoys a lot of people and garners complaints in Home then it’s OK with me.

I hope that one I played hide and seek with in the Mall is doing well.

I wish I could add pics in this comment thread. I have some incredible pics done by a glitcher friend who shall remain anonymous. If you have ever been invited by him to sample one of his feats, you can understand the thrill and wonderment. But he will not reveal any of his secrets -- and he is the one who told me that a glitch is like poking a small hole in a fabric. Too many small holes and the fabric is torn and useless. So _ I will post one of his pics in the Forum section of this magazine so you can see what we are talking about;

Some glitches cause no problems such as any “dance, pop” glitch or getting on the bench glitch. The ones that I see causing problems such as lag and network errors are the wardrobe glitches where you put one outfit on then change to another, which allows you to bypass all the invisible walls of an area. Also, the multiple layers of clothing glitch, which they got rid of thankfully, caused a lot of problems. Any glitch, however, becomes a problem when it interferes with the games in Home. Like the cannon Midway 2 game in the Plaza a while back, people had figured out how to get on top of the target area and walk around. That was very distracting for anyone playing the game. And in October they had the Pumpkin King game, people learned how to get on the pond and some of them were banned for it.

I personally don’t see a problem with glitching in a personal space,u did pay 2 use it as u saw fit after all,as long as its not causing sony any trouble,idk if it does.In public places and games i can see where this could b a problem as it could cause trouble 4 others quite easily.Another glitch i know of is at the playground where its possible,unless its been patched im not sure haven,t been there 4 awhile,2 climb up on a fence by the little stage that has the dj table on it.Once over the fence its possible 2 walk behind the buildings,not sure where else as i’ve never done it only witnessed this.4 awhile there was always a crowd there trying 2 get up on the fence which usually led 2 squabbles eventually and became a sore point as those that could do it often made fun of those that tried and failed.I know 1 guy that does this 2 his apts. and it not only gives it a extra degree of individualism some of these things r mind blowing.If sony wanted 2 couldn’t they detect these things and act if they wished?I agree that a developer would b ideal 2 shed more light on this fascinating topic.
