Comments on: “Celebrity” Is Merely A Word

I had never really considered that people could be Celebrities on Home. There are certainly people that I look up to, and people who are visible. There are people I know of and would feel very…lucky?..if I happened to have the opportunity to talk to them. Ultimately though, I run on the assumption that everyone is simply equal under the law.

I hear of people getting Freebies and Previews here and there, and I think to myself “Good for them!” It seems that Home is a community, and those who work for it probably deserve what they get.

True but does that mean I shouldn’t be able to experience Home the way I want? I don’t think that fair and from now on I shall enjoy Home how I want, regardless of the conflicts I will encounter.

Home is not so different than the physical worl in many aspect, this is another one. (To me, online&virtual is not less real than physical). Celebrety comes with a price. If your not ready to take the bullet, dont set your foot on the battlefield. I missed my 12 friends time too. Now i have wide range of friends. Very few are on the beta test, none of them are Mr. Joe. Perhaps the jealousy you were victim could had been avoided if that space wouldnt had been the first selected when we opened our navigator.

Yes very true Olivia, but as you know quite franky better than most, I can respect people but that won’t give them any special treatment in my book or in my crosshairs.

Hey trust me I know, I one time spent a good 3 to 4 hours with a HCV when he was giving tours. I’m glad I’ve never been picked after applying. However, even thou I have great respect for you guys, I will still empty a clip into your face on battlefield just like anyone else.

Wonderful article my dear! Speaking as someone that intentionally climb the social ladder in home, I did not do so to achieve fame. Home is a very important part of me and I wanted to be an important part of it. Often when I tell people about my affiliation with Home Station Magazine, their response is that I must be famous or a celebrity on Home. I’m quick to tell them that I am just a dork and I put my avatar on one controller button push at a time just like they do. It is somewhat flattering yet at the same time disconcerting. When my friends list consisted of five names it was much easier to spend the quality time I wanted to with each of them. Now I find I spend a lot of time apologizing for not being able to visit with old friends as much as I used to. But again let me reiterate I do not consider myself a Home celebrity. That actually would be a title I would not be comfortable with. I hope that in my own way I do affect Home in a positive way and that’s all I want.I think the true stars of Home are the people that selflessly give and ask for nothing in return like the HCV’s, Hearitwow and the editors of this magazine. And let me take that one step further and say anyone that helps another person while in Home for no other reason but to help.

Great article KLC and something that needed to be said. This whole idea that people who are committed to this community are given special privilege is ludicrous. I have been very active in the community and have never been in any beta test of anything, it is random there is no question of that.
There ARE some well deserved kudos that come with a lot of hard work by HCV and people like Hearitwow who devote ungodly hours of work for no pay to this enterprise we are all in. I think anyone who complains about that is just being silly as I doubt they put half as much effort into Home as these people do. But the kudos come in the form of things like free items they can show others in film or otherwise, not by being in beta tests.
Oh well there will always be complainers, it is the way of things. Good read.

Yes, I may be an HCV, but I do my part & serve the community, I am not “Self Serving” & most of the people I do know through either friendship or to the people that I have given tours to will agree on that.
