Not a big fan of voice chat myself athou some of my friends are. Thing is evrything else than typing in local is blocked.
Example:
Lately I start my home day at the library. So when I get there it show to everyone on the club channel I’m on. Unless my friends open their nav to see where I am they don’t know I wont see anything they type in club.
Sorry I used chat instead of channel in my post… I meant channel.

Guess that depends on how reliant you are on voice-chat within Home. Personally, I prefer the keyboard method as it gives everyone time to digest the information, and nothing gets lost from weird pronunciations or that (constantly) annoying cut-off that happens every 5mins in Home.

A little ironic that old fashioned typing is the most fluid way to use Home when it comes to conversation I suppose.

I just started 2 or 3 weeks ago my PsHome Pottermore adventure. The places look awsome indeed. The games are fun too. But for me the group&club chat and private message limitation is a real problem. I think we all agree the heart of Home is it’s users and the social interaction. Many times I left “early” because I wanted to be availabe for my friends.
If the reason behind this was to protect the children I seriously don’t think it can be that effective.

I’m not a huge Harry potter fan but I love these spaces in Home. I’ve spent enough time in them to want to see the commons rooms so I signed up for pottermore. The library space is in my opinion one of the very best spaces in Home. I don’t think you have to be a huge fan if the books and movies to enjoy these spaces

I agree that the Potter spaces are done very well. It shows that detail and good visuals are not impossiblein Home. Even shows up some of the ddevelopers that have been making money in Home for a lot longer too. I love the look of the Cottage space they put out, but I’ll never buy it because of the massive furniture restrictions that have been clamped on to the place. Shame really.

I’m guessing that much like the disabled group chat function in the public Potter spaces, the Cottage has had things disabled also in aid of protecting children from unsuitable content. Guess even the powers that be know how many children are running around Home regardless of the age restrictions.

Anyways, it’s good stuff for those into HP, and seems to be going strong.
