Flatlands Manor is perfect for online occasions that require less formality.  Company awaydays and training sessions, where it is important for attendees to mix and collaborate work particularly well.  Each room is soundproofed and in larger rooms conversations reduce in volume the further someone moves from the discussion, allowing for multiple conversations in the same room, while creating a buzzy atmosphere as in a bar or cafe.  There are no avatars, attendees' faces appear in squares via their computer camera.  There is no recording of conversations or rooms, providing excellent privacy.
