I can confirm it. I was once in the Bowling Alley and so was a friend of mine. Yet he was not in the same Bowling Alley as I was. Must have been a different server.
Joining through the menu placed me on his server.

I did read about the servers on the home blog thingy....right these numbers are aproximates and I'll happily stand corrected if you find the thread (it was in red dogs "stupid night" thread) Ok so each area can host 64 people in it, of that theres 8-16 slots for friends to join.....when you go to an area obviously theres lots of servers running you simply enter into the one with slots available. on the bowling alley question, I know it's been awnsered but just to make it a little clearer, if all the alleys are full leave the bowling alley, re enter into it and eventualy you should end up in a server with a free lane. Again these are aproximate figures if I can find the post again I'll post it here.

Yeah, let's all allow what's happening to continue unabated. That should take care of the problem. (And I'm the narrow minded one.)

Thanks Jase72.
Also, I can't understand a word Liljak said
This moderation/guard idea for home sounds good. Sony could have their own people as it and also like you said normal people who get payed with home money. The problem is, if someone gets busted, they could take revenge or not like that person anymore.

I'm sure the home team have "moderators" who can jump onto specific servers to check out the behaviour of people who get alot of complaints made against them. imagine how many people there will be on Home at any given time around the world when it becomes an open beta! devide it by 50 (people in each server) then times it by each area.....thats alot of "police" needed to have 1 guy watching 50 people at one given time! The system they have in place now is more than adiquate! we police ourselves! every member has the ability to make a complaint to the sony home team directly and from within the home experience. as long as sony act on those complaints fairly and very openly then problems should be at a minimum as with every other sony online system. You can also block people as before, if this system is expanded to include blocking that person from being in the same server as you then it gives you a 2 tiered system to deal with troubled souls wandering the world of home LOL

Quite right.
Exactly, this is what we experienced and did in those situations...
That would be the least of my worries. Based on what we have seen, especially when my wife was using her avatar, there are a lot of horny toads online that have already discovered very clever ways of using the various action options to make their avatars behave quite naughty-like, if you know what I mean!
All I'm saying is be prepared to walk away on occasions, and be VERY careful where you decide to sit down.... unless you like that sort of thing.
Speaking of which, we already stumbled across a couple semi-hidden areas in Home only to find we were interrupting a couple avatars having... "fun".
Needless to say, no children should be allowed to roam Home unsupervised, which also helps explain why the character creator won't allow you to make any children avatars... which as a parent I'm grateful for. 👍
There are areas in Home that clearly a kid would have fun in, especially the bowling alley and arcade rooms, but as with most online activity, they absolutely should be supervised.
In fact, I would hope and suspect Sony won't pay much attention to those who report people who are just acting "horny". It's so easy to walk away or even go to another space. My wife spends a lot of time in Home and she now wears less provocative outfit and it isn't nearly as bad as some have claimed it to be. Heck, even that video was clearly heavily edited and sped up.
In fact, if I were Sony I would consider people who report such petty nonsense as abusing the Abuse option... and I especially find it amusing that apaprently some of those who are offended... are men using provocative female avatars.
And if I were a woman who wanted to "have fun" in Home, I'd be pretty pissed off that a bunch of guys pretending to be women just to report "horny" men might scare them all off with foolish entrapment.
I personally would be much more concerned about someone making racial and religious epitaphs, hate speech, and comments about illegal behavior, such as pedophilia and such.. then worry about the fact that some anonymous people are goofing off with their avatars in an attempt to make them appear to be involved in some kind of sexual act.
Case in point, when I was using the Obama look-a-like avatar, there were a couple people in Home that apparently hated Obama and said some pretty ugly things about the President-elect, but everyone just ignored them and they soon walked away themselves. 👍

I think that's about right - they cannot possibly moderate/police Home in the same way that you might an internet forum. I see the issue becoming less of a big deal as and when mini-communities spring up and people spend more time in bespoke company rather than in the common areas... there will always be people who try to spoil it for others, but it is as easy as hitting the block button... I'd like it if when you hit the block option, you produced a Harry Potter-like wand and their avatar disappeared from your view in a cloud of green smoke *poof*
Perhaps they will have an option to automatically join the same server as folks on your friends list too?

Good point.
Neither my wife nor I have had the cause to do so, but I'm fairly sure there is a mute as well as a block user option... I'll have to check next time we are on. If so, and someone is truly bothered by some "guy" hitting on them, and they don't want to just walk away, I suppose all they have to do is mute or block them... granted, I like your idea of a humorous visual... especially if the people around you and especially the person you are muting or blocking can see it happen to them... now that would not only be classic, but may help tone down some of the unsolicted behavior, if nothing more than to save virtual face.there will always be people who try to spoil it for others, but it is as easy as hitting the block button... I'd like it if when you hit the block option, you produced a Harry Potter-like wand and their avatar disappeared from your view in a cloud of green smoke *poof*
This may already be in place, because everytime my wife and I are in Home and our friends are also in Home we can always find them without actually "joining" them anywhere.
Also, Sony has held a few events already in Home, the latest was a Pool/Billiards Tournament, and the two Sony reps were there. Now maybe... they were also "there" on multiple servers, but I doubt it... so I personally have yet to run into a situation that for me suggests there are multiple servers for each regional version of Home... but I can also see why there could be.

I'll take a pic of it next time I'm in Home... or I could show you in Home. 👍
I did take some pics of my Frankenstein's Monster avatar though:

I'll be suprised if it doesn't use PSN stores to do all the transactions. In fact, when you download the Clubhouse Creator, it is also treated as a transaction through the PSN store... but it's free.

It does indeed, also if you try and go into a store it tells you it has no stock, but it does open up the PS Store wallet.

There is no age option. You do that by adjusting the different skin condition options.

Are there any unlockable items other than the Echochrome suit? I got that last night and my pudgy guy looks like Bibendum.
It may not matter after I go on a shopping spree tonight though.
