Actually, I started helping out others who were interested in Home on the U.S. Home forums August of 2007. As you know this was even before the Home public Beta and way before the HCV program so yes, I agree and I have said ”You do not have to be a HCV in title to help.”
Correct, You do not have a HCV program. Yet. But with fresh minds and new idea’s Hopefully you guys will get one someday. I can also state that the few content pieces we have recieved to show to the Home community in no way makes up for 3 years of HCV service. We use it to inform and give preview when asked. I believe Home users, SCEA and third party developers have been more than satisfied with our doing that.

Enjoy your week, GoodBytes!

To me the HCV program is a status symbol for people to feel more important than others in Home. I support equality in Home where there are two parties -- SCE staff and PSN users. HCVs break that balance by giving some PSN users an advantage over others. I’m not saying HCVs do a bad job, what I am saying is that if they are so willing to serve then why do they need a title? We dont have a HCV program in SCEE thankfully, our community is willing to assist others without the need for an official title or be rewarded with free content.

In their three-year back story
The HCV’s service
Never motivated by glory

Acting as guides
Helping with needed direction
Spending free time
Answering every posed question

Humbly they serve
Never pounding their chest
In my opinion
They are the best of the best

PlayStation on
Controller in hand
They roam all the spaces
In our virtual land

Vigilant to respond
When their duty calls
If only to answer
“Do you know GlassWalls?”

Three years and still going
They should be very proud of this
And the ones I know personally
Are the pride of my friends list

So whatever you’re doing
Salt shooting, rave dancing, curling a gnome
Give thanks to the HCV’s for making
Home feel like Home

Great article. As always you find the right words. I love to help newcomers at novus, even if sometimes ansewring the same old question is kinda “irritating”. Now if only Canadian could enter the program…. we have a good rep for that you know ;)

Great read!

People may think I am little miss helpful, but in all honesty, I do it selfish reasons, I dig that warm fuzzy feeling I get when I teach someone how to dance for the first time, or share their excitement over wearing new clothes I helped them find.

I am asked all the time “What can I do to repay your kindness?”, my answer is always the same… Next time you see someone who needs help HELP THEM! It is that simple :)

My philosophy is simple, if I have a chance to help someone who is frustrated or confused, I may just be steering them down a path that will improve the community rather than having them becoming bitter and taking a darker course.

Happy Anniversary HCV! I hope to join your ranks one day, and until I do, I will keep on doing what I am doing do cuz it ROCKS!

I love helping people in Home and do so as often as I run into one that needs it. Be it giving advice on reward hunting or helping them work through something more technical I go my best to help make their Home experience a good one. I congratulate the HCV program on this milestone and hope to see it reach another one next year and the years to come. I think the idea for this was a great one, and it showed me that Sony really does care, for if they didn’t they would have never made the HCV what is is today.
