Coffee Pancake Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Even with the buy in it's amazing value in terms of US$ per Li if looked at annually because it's all double prim. Thanks to the included house and the zero land price, Horizons manages a close second to the new Linden Homes, however it comes with none of the restrictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elora Lunasea Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Overall, I'm curious what peoples experiences have been living in the houseboats. My alt is waiting on the next round and I'm not quite sure if that's the way I'd like to go - or if I'd prefer grabbing one of the abandoned regular homes when the houseboats finally get released. I've walked around and the entire finished areas are so beautiful regardless of what kind of home you choose, makes it difficult to pick which one! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizons has plenty of parcels available but as noted, they have to be purchased (they are not included as part of the Premium perks). But as also noted, they are double prim, and if you choose to use one of the sci fi themed homes in the rezzer, that leaves you a ton of LI to play with. It's Adult rated, and there are infohubs there as well. The area is close to Zindra for easy commuting. lol There are Experience areas to explore there, too. If you look at the Horizons sims on the map, you'll see them in the middle. I wonder if something like that could somehow translate to Bellisseria someday after the housing is all set up. Hmm... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Adult rated, and there are infohubs there as well. The area is close to Zindra for easy commuting. lol Horizons plots start at L$40K ($160)and just go up and up. Premium paid annually after L$ rebate ($10). Get out of bed cost (prem+land) $232. Double prim Hz land saves you $7 per month vs regular tier payments for same prim count, 2 years that would be $168US + 2yr prem = $188 just to LL after the L$ rebate rather than $20 (and that does not include buying any land at all!). It's easily the most underrated land in all of SL on a cost per prim basis and unlike most other land, holds its value fairly well. LL were so close to it being perfect but fell at the final hurdle by letting barons consume it all, so short term financial win for LL, complete failure for everyone else. Much of the land is still owned by those same barrons (laugh track here). A different delivery and it could easily have ended up in the same epic community as Bel. The houses are not that appealing but you don't have to use one. The overall look & design is very good. Burning 700 Li on any house you like and all the furniture on a single 32m plot is not as good as it sounds (kiss your frame rate goodbye) but a well furnished house AND a skybox can easily work. The region road crossings are not as good as Bel (which lets be honest, are pretty gnarly) because roads are prim and they don't extend into the neighboring region so you can fall into the floor when crossing borders. Iono .. I share a few with @Kitty Barnett, it's been great .. even if her house will murder your PC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've walked around and the entire finished areas are so beautiful regardless of what kind of home you choose, makes it difficult to pick which one! I'm living in one and I'm absolutely loving it. I love the views from the water and love having a spot for a boat so I can hop in and go sailing. One of the main reasons I'm enjoying it, though, is that it is, for the most part, keeping me away from the dingle-berries that are (pa)trolling the residential areas. I only have one actual neighbor and they're pretty chill and are rarely there, though they've decorated nicely. I'm not sure what it's like living in one of the rows of houseboats, though. Might be a different experience. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is protected on three sides, next door to water, close to an Infohub (I find that amusing), and I got a good deal on it to boot. Getting it just took patience and watching the map. I don't like the provided homes (not a sci fi fan), so use my own stuff on the ground and in a skybox as well, and I still have a lot of prims to spare. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some want the houseboats for easy water access, but don't necessarily care about easily wandering around the main continent. When these become available, I actually wouldn't be surprised to see a few folks release their current houseboats for one of these -- depending on the location of their current one. I'm actually considering doing that in the hopes that I get lucky and get one of the ones in a region with very few other houseboats. I am all for people wanting different, did mention that. I am not opposed to the all houseboats as such, I just think making it so many clumps of separated land makes it more closed off than the community that the rest have achieved, but again that is not for everyone, if they have their own boating communities already, or want to join them etc, that opens that up for them. I am sure it will be different when open, but I would also wonder if that area will have less features because of the lack of land, in the sense of the community pool areas, the parkland etc, it is nice to have the houseboat, but the current Linden Home/houseboat users have benefited more than just the 1024 they get, in terms of the roads, the neighbourhoods etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that it looks kind of like Sardineland, but many real life areas are like that and folks do just fine -- maybe even like those close quarters. On my every single region tour last week I noticed and noted that there are MANY areas (sometimes congruent) that have no community areas at all (and some houseboat areas that are very much JUST boats and water and sand) so these won't be the first with minimal "perks". There are at least two major large meeting areas in the new area (with what looks like a new style of building from the map) and I can see what appears to be sunbathing areas and such, so it may be more "homey" than the thin land masses hint at. Hopefully the houseboat folks will be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
