Absolutley Burbie, you hit the nail on the head there. It’s the friendships that you make that give Home it’s true value, and while the “virtual fluff” (as some call it) enhance that experience it really still comes down to human interaction.

I was once told by a friend of mine that watching me at parties was like keeping your eye on a humming bird, that I was this place one second and there the next. I guess the saying “scocial butterfly” fits, but it’s also one of the reasons I love Home so much, because it gives me a place to do this. And to me, THAT is it’s value.

Coming into Home was, for me, the first time I had ever “played” in an online game. At that time I had never played RDR online or any other video game in my life. It opened up a whole new world and new ideas and concepts that were totally foreign to me. Buying virtual anything being one of them. At first I swore I would never buy anything in Home. Then, like cthulu, I made some good friends and my whole mind set changed. I am still picky what I buy, probably always will be, but for me it is quality not quantity that counts. Do I think it is worth the probable hundreds of dollars I have spent at this time on Home? Yes it is undoubtedly. I have many wonderful friends from all over the world who I would have never had the opportunity to know if it weren’t for Home, and that is worth every penny!

Talk about buyers remorse,waaaay back in the old days(I’m talking Atari 2600 days here) there was no way to know if a game was “good” or not before you bought it other than knowing someone that already had the game,this led to many regrettable purchases.I too once thought buying virtual items a jk,until I made a few friends that wanted to hang-out daily.At that point buying a personal space started making sense as a way for us to have new places to explore while hanging out.Now I find many different items enhance the experience so I purchase anything I find that appears to have a way to do that.Home is 1 of those things that at 1st glance to many seems to be a waste of space,however if given a chance it will “grow on you” if you like meeting interesting ppl.The best thing about Home is also the worst thing about Home,the interaction with REAL ppl.So “Is it worth it?”,more often than not it is.It offers much better odds of giving you enjoyment than randomly buying Atari games I can tell you.
