we should bring back oculus homes

(you heard me)

unfortunately meta killed homes in 2023 because ol' zuckyburg does not care about rift and it's users anymore (source )

as everyone has already stated, we miss rift homes (justice to people who didnt use it but i digress) and we wish we can revisit our homes, but what if........ (i'm no savvy to this)

  • someone found an old file of rift homes that contained the application to it
  • figure out the DNS (if so)
  • make a community server and reroute it back to the one made by the community server instead of meta's.

ofc i know this might cost money to do something like that but we just wanna revisit our homes and talk to our friends again, and customise rift avatars, and that's something that would be done in the foreseeable future if someone purposefully brung back rift home.

 

but i don't think that'll happen as it would take months and even years to do something like that, but i hope someone does it and figure out a way to bring back oculus homes.

 

"why not use SteamVR home?"  given with how old it is it's broken to the bare minimum, rooms no longer and you can't join any of your friends's rooms (as someone who tried rooms in september 2024)

"it's never going to happen"  have faith, that's why i said "in the future"

    Hi mochifloofs​ 🙂

    You still can enjoy the rift homes 1.0 and have some fun with the fireworks in the avatar editor.... I love doing that 😍

    You can see the old custom homes here:

    I was one of the first people to create Custom Homes for Quest – and now I’ve found a way to keep them alive. : r/OculusQuest

      mochifloofs​ is talking about the link homes, not the Quest standalone homes.

      Oh. Now I'll have to requisition a new pair of glasses to complement the crystal ball 😋.

        Someone did😁... the homes are still there. He could visit his old home and use all items from the inventory to customize the home.

        Found a way to get the oculus home back

        and maybe soon this

        First look at Oculus Home Remitted - A tool to load Oculus Home offline!

          I would happily pay to have my homes back.

            You would do that, I would do that and probably many others too.......

            .....still, it's a pipedream, they won't bring them back.🙁
