A lot of us that go back and forth still say it. Old habits do die hard it seems. I go to all the regions and am sorry to see any of them go. The culture in Japanese Home is Japanese, calm and peaceful,never saw or met a troll while there. Homes diversity has a lot of charm for me. I will miss my “hopping” onto any region when and if they shut down.

It seems today that Sony agrees with you. This is huge news about no new content for Japan and Asia and it will be interesting to see in what way if any this effects the other two regions.

So that’s, what, maybe 750,000 active users […]

Surprised to hear that Asia has more stuff than Japan but less events than everyone else.

A lot of japan events require you to purchase an over priced item to gain whatever reward is being given or there were over priced related items to events like macross. As for quality, I believe that all the Granzella public spaces in japan were removed and redone due to poor quality. You dont see as many free loaders in japan and if you do they are usually speaking english. In short these people that have a song and dance about one region or any one developer or team jacob or whatever, should know they sound like they are knocking on my door trying to convert me to they religion

Japan is a very different place, I have been there a few times and I enjoyed it, but I always came back Home to SCEA and would never think that what they had was better, just different. As for events, the people here in our Home make their own. This whole past week was full of them, user created things to do in Home. I think that makes for a much more interesting place than the ones that were made by developer as a market ploy.
Japan Home is nice, but what we have here is nicer and better I think. Good article Terra.

Not that I know. I’m just speculating. I never been there in real or virtual life.

There are people who like Japan Home and I surely don’t know why. And yes some say Japan has better stuff than NA, at least I think some say that.
So what if a NA MVP likes or loves Japan Home. That’s just one person or as written, “at least one of those Japan Home fetishes…”. Whee!!! One! One? Whatever.

I dunno what will happen when or if Home closes but were I to wager, I’d wager that all regions would poof at the same time… or reasonable close. I wouldn’t bet on that either way at he Casino though.

(Me stomps feet!)
(Me screams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Me walks away with a sprained ankle because of too much anger.)

Till the end whether it be Home or me first, I’ll stick around as long as I enjoy it and can afford it.

Sayonara :)
