Despite the decentralized structure of Atmosphere and the popularity of the world-building contests, the Atmosphere community still preferred to gather in worlds created by Adobe and its partner DigitalSpace, such as Adobe's annually-revamped "HomeWorld" and DigitalSpace's "Atmospherians Community". As the "HomeWorld" was the primary starting place for new users, the community found it easier to establish lively crowds there. When Adobe shut down "HomeWorld", along with a number of other Adobe-hosted worlds, many builders made attempts at emulating the success of "HomeWorld" with their own starting points. However, without the constant stream of new users that "HomeWorld" experienced, most of these attempts failed to attract more than a small group of regulars.
