Anyways, I’d gladly trade out the Rock dance (even if it does make me look good when brandishing a whip) for the Charleston.

The male Rave dance looks just like scrubbing!

I wish we could have one dialog slot that was customizable, subject to the normal Home net-nannying. What better way to shout “HOMELINGS!” or “OPEN TABLE!” or “DO YOU WANT TO JOIN MY FAM?”, “U GOT CAM?” or even “****!”, repeatedly? (On second thought, maybe not…)

One of the things I liked about Free Realms was their deeply nested chat menus. You could say a surprising number of things with them. Something like that would be ideal for new Home users. It sounds like we had it at the beginning. I wonder why it went away?

Goodbye rock, robot and cabbage patch at least! Running man is a Home favorite, but I wouldn’t mind seeing that go too as it has become too cliche’. I would like to see reset chat features like “I am here to help” and “How are you?” or like was suggested ones that would spur conversations. They tell us in the TOS that we shouldn’t reveal information about ourselves then turn around and contradict it with “Where are you from?” makes no sense to me.
New dance moves and emotes and conversation pieces like “Would you like to dance?” would help a lot in Home not only new users but also those of us who are downright tired of these old standby now.
Nice article.

Not the Ska dance… oops! that one been said already ;) What will be the Novus Ska line without it? As far as the emotes goes i must add 1 more complaint. I have Home in french and the translation are… let say missleading.
One thing about interactivity. It would be nice if male and female were dancing on the same beat. The sequence is never the same length for both. Making it impossible to be in synch. hmmm maybe i should put that in the suggestion.

Not the Ska dance, it’s the only dance I do. Unless they replace it with a Shuffle dance. The rave dance should be replaced with the Shuffle though. Disco only serves as a cliche it doesn’t need to be around. I am surprised they never had a line dance. They should introduce a ball dance. You request someone to dance with you and if they agree then both avatars do a ball dance. That could bring up some gender issues when it comes time to lead though.
