Back and brought a friend
Thankfully I still have all my purchases from before and just added the two new rooms, which are very nice, and a couple of bracelets and a necklace. There didn't appear to be any new ss poses, which was a bit disappointing
Anyway, the new Meeting Places are a great idea (and make it more like the other game we came from). Walking is a bit stilted and, once I had mastered the mouse it was a bit easier to see what was going on. It's a pity that, effectively, the only action available to individuals is walking. The only thing I didn't like was the restrictive chat where you couldn't necessarily tell who could hear you and whether that was different to whom your partner could hear or not, if you were with someone. Just standing with my friend, for example, I would comment on what someone close by said and they couldn't "hear" that. I guess that is much like real life, in a way, though.
With all the wasted space in rooms, particularly the two most recent ones, it would be nice if the ability to move around, like in the Meeting Places, could be ported to those rooms as well.
Oh, the other thing is... are there more than one server involved with the meeting places? It took several attempts for us to be able to meet up in one.
