Cahtias Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I have been trying to keep up to date for the past 24 hours,, unfortunatley i drive a truck so I am not 100 percent near my computer all the time. Although I was refreshing using my smart phone from time to time. So I get an update message about the new houseboats. .so I think great, i got to get one, no houseboats.. I cant imagine that they are all sold as i was told that the others went in like 48 hours so I should be good to go by monitoring it.. Well, no, they apparently went fast.. how many did you make?? 10?? Its really sad this is being handled this way.. Why dont you make enough homes to meet the demand and THEN announce they are available? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cahtias Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 so by that count,, the first release must have been quite a few 1000? that took 48 hours before stock ran out,, surely they must have known that 700 would not suffice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Macbain Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 They had 700 ready to go. Why just sit on them when people want them? Would you rather no one get one because you haven't gotten one? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2Pandora Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 They actually handled it pretty well. This batch went so fast because MAAAAAANY more people knew about the homes this time around than the first. Demand is very high. I'm sorry you missed them, as a lot of people did if they were sleeping, at work/at school, out, etc. If they waited to have many more, we'd be waiting a lot longer. It took them a month to make those 709 released today. The first was something between 2000-3000(and they had been working on them for many months.. like 8-10?). I was in your boat, so to speak, until Sunday when I finally lucked in to the house roulette. It sucks to wait, and I really feel for those stuck having to do so, but it'll get easier I think with the next batch.. estimates say something like a month-ish from now if it's anything like these ones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cahtias Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 thats not the point Beth, its not a matter of greed.. its a matter of making availing myself in an effort to get one when they are announced and being told that the first batch went in 48 hours so just stay up to date and when announced you will get one no problem.. all this does is throw crumbs to the starving masses making lots of people frustrated and mad. Better would be to wait and announce when you have a big enough batch to make a dent in the demand.. I just think this is poor management and not very good customer service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cahtias Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 It does not really matter as I dont NEED a house. I have a house and a sim that I pay for along with others. Its more the principal of the thing,, I guess ill just quit worrying about it and maybe in a few months there will be some available.. no big deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said that you'd get one "no problem"? Source? Because I've never seen anyone in any official capacity say anything like that. They had NO idea the first batch of homes would go so quickly. I truly believe it absolutely caught them off guard and now they are working day and night to hurry the next batches along. Patch said that the next batch will hopefully be quicker. I have several friends that were hoping to get in today and missed out. It sucks, but it is what it is. I think they're handling things quite well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linden Lab needs to come up with a better system that is fair to all members. We all can't sit in front of a computer all day and have our trigger finger ready when they release them. So yes the way they are as Cahtias puts it throwing crumbs to the starving masses is making others frustrated and mad.

So yes the way they are as Cahtias puts it throwing crumbs to the starving masses is making others frustrated and mad. I actually am stunned that 709 of them went in 27 minutes today, and I bet the Lindens and Moles are, too. I think they were stunned that the original batch went in 48 hours. Once they saw the demand for those original ones, should they have taken them back until they could have built enough to have one for every premium member?

Maybe not taken them back ... but maybe limit one per primary account. Or some other system to make sure that each premium member has one home/houseboat before you let all these alts grab them all up!!! 5 minutes ago, Beth Macbain said: hey were stunned that the original batch went in 48 hours And wouldn't you think they would learn for that .. that the demand for them is high?

Xia Xevious Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I would love to pay like a few dollars to Linden to get a house for me... manually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Wijaya Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 1 minute ago, Dick Spad said: but maybe limit one per primary account. this is just what is happening, every premium account can apply for a Linden Home, if available. And if there are no new home or boats are available, do as any other... get a old home till the new batch comes available. Don't speak about alts, in general you can say that for LL those don't excist... a premium account is a premium account, with the same rights as any other premium account. I understand the disapointment but that doesn't justify limiting rights for other paying members. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinaFreumann Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 No need to blame someone for being puzzled & disappointed for not being able to snag a new home. And Linden isn't to blame that they were snapped up so fast. True, many people were aware of how to get one, & really trying hard. But many were taking up to 3 new houses, using alt. It is what it is, lol. I'm just waiting, refreshing now & then, I'll be satisfied that I'll get someting eventually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahara Wildrose Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I agree with Gina many have use many alts to snag a new home, all we can do is try to be faster or just wait a few months until the other new designs are out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruslana Koskinen Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I am thinking LL can duplicate the whole boat house sims cluster for another immediately new release. I am not really think there are need any unique design on road, waterway, trees or landscape. As we can see it only has a skeleton layout of docks on water. What do you think about this? https://gyazo.com/7a89cd64491cbbb2d080d1cefe620706 This is what it look like. Is there any uniqueness.

As we use to stay in the Navy... remember the 5 P's ( Poor Planning leads to P!ss Poor Performance ) Okay, so by your reasoning, after seeing the demand for the first batch, they should have not completed anymore until they were all done? I have no idea how many premium accounts there are but I think I heard something like 50 or 60 thousand. That would still be punishing the majority because of a few loud voices who are biting themselves in the foot by making everyone wait longer to get one. My dad was in the Navy. He'd say put on your big girl panties and deal with it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess 10k~20k houses/boat houses may be appropriated at the end. I assume excluding there are multiple accounts holders and those already settled on private island/main land.

Beth Macbain Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 They aren't the only ones who want uniqueness. I haven't seen another spot in Bellisseria that looks just like my little spot and I'm thrilled. I don't want it to look cookie cutter... why would anyone? I guess some people really love the look of subdivisions? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
