Great article Burbie, as usual. I cannot see a time when I would leave Home. I have far too much invested here in time, money and most important, relationships. I have felt the loss of friends just leaving and there are people that have hurt me as I am certain I have hurt others. This is real life in that we are dealing with real people. The value of Home is not the stuff we buy or the gaming, it’s the fact that for those that value this for what it has become, a social platform where we meet people that we come to care about from places we may never go to we are invested in the friendships. Does rambling Strom have a point? I do, and it is that Home has become so important to me and many I know that I know we will never leave Home as it stands right now. We have to get kicked out, at least I can speak for myself here. I got roots, I’m now getting uprooted anytime soon.

I just signed up here and this was the first article I read. Was a really good read and I hope the rest are of this quality.

Great article Burbie,
So many experiences mirror someone else’s here in Home.
Reading some of these articles is like a page from your own diary sometimes. Good job!

The only thing that is good about home is the community , the games are playable but none are great, the spaces are usable but its the community and memories of community moments that makes them special. The constant adverts and brand new virtual stuff is no different to DLC new outfits, but its designed with an im better than you philosophy. trying to get you to buy a gold re-coloured suit for 5 times the value just to show your wealth. But its the community and fan sites that show people the way to get free stuff and look good and decorate on a budget. So basically once the community starts becoming unattractive through people being idiots or people I care about leaving then thats the time to find something new. I used to have a better social life on midnight club than home, chilling by the beach talking to people on headsets, showing off our latest designs of cars, the games ok but the community at the time meant I didnt really use home for 12 months, unfortunately that changed as people left so I ended up back on home. Its the new user that concern me, how many does home lose because they dont know anyone in the community, think what would you see first, if you were on home for the first time , users harrassing other users, a map system that can only described as extremely poor, every time i walk in to play a game its says I have to buy something, load times that my commodore 64 would of been quicker at. If home does not replace the leavers quicker than they are leaving there will be a time more serious decisions will have to be made.

It’s been more than a year that I use Home and I like it more and more. Anyway I feel bad for those that left for the reasons that are known… Selfish people, scammers, spammers, and more.. Some people can be very selfish..

alot of it is harrasing and trolling, and yes the activities and quest are as well. but you seem to take away alot of the fun places or update them to where they are not so fun anymore.alot of us like rpg and racing you guys should bring mercia up to date or something. mercia and all of them places like that aurora things you can have us do to keep us coming back. because after you go to a place after a while once you complete everything it gets kinda old and you dont have noone else on home to go.. i know you all are trying to get new people but us older home fans like to keep having fun as well and yes we do miss alot of our old home places.if anything bring some of them back like you did for halloween and companions ..so for my reason if i left home because it got old same kind of things alot..not much of changes except clothes and stuff..My girlfriend she loved your guys old beach and your activity quests as well as the old aurora

alot of people also leave home because there not really anything thing to do anymore alot of people loved doing the fun quests on the activity board like they used to… and aurora the quests aurora had were deeply fun .. its seems more about profit now than fun.. not many people come to home can afford these new expensive clothes and things.. or just refuse to pay 5 dollars for a shirt lol im not saying i wouldnt because i can every time i get a chance.. but i remember when home was about having fun and things so to do … not pretty much in order to do anything fun you have to buy things just to even be apart of it.. bring back quests and hunts and the old hub bring back some of auroras things … i dont know bout everyone else but i honestly dont see the point in the blimps lol i miss espionage .. and doing activies. i know quite a few people who do as well… however i am greatful for the chat board being gone. i miss it but at the same time it needed some people to watch what was posted and delete alot of the trolling and threats e.t.c but home really has lost alot of its funness
