I'm also pretty glad that none of my Team Managers have ever been as condescending and rude as you are. If you bothered to actually check into things, you would find that every region is being custom created in a unique way, rather than being rubber-stamped across the entire continent. Yes, you (and many others) could probably use clone code and whip out 100 villages overnight, but they'd likely stay as sparsely filled as the current Linden Homes areas because nobody really likes living in a cookie-cutter environment. If you are ONLY spending "nearly" 120.00$ per month on L$, then I know for a fact that you are quite a ways down on the totem pole of 'SL Spending' and thus really have no bragging rights at all on that score. As to 'insulting your intelligence'...... well, I hardly think that is possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have/had some neighbors like that, but I found when I decorated, they got encouraged to do that too. If someone doesn't.. meh. They'll move out and someone else'll move in. But I also saw some people put in like one or two things, and maybe they froze up and didn't know what to do. Maybe they got intimidated. Maybe they're shy. I figure they'll come around in time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear while the new homes are 1024, ALL members have free tier for 1024. Not everyone will understand the difference there but it is important. The folks in the OLD Linden homes have the ability to own another 512 lot WITH those "decent extra bagful" of LI already. The skybox option may be good for some but a few tours of the 2000 to 4000 meters skies told me that not all that many people care. I certainly don't. If I wanted a skybox, I could put it ANYWHERE with the SAME land impact allowance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about completely empty houses (others have commented on this too) all over the continent. A few, granted may have a good reason for not decorating right away but certainly not ALL of them (and there really are a lot when you traverse Bellisseria by bike or teleport to each sim (I was looking for a certain "fence" that I saw and never found). I hope you are right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of people that have posted disappointment comments do bear this out. I do accept the situation with the new homes release though, quite happily, and am prepared to sit and wait; yes, my turn will come. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matter not one jot how much money you decide to spend on L$ purchases - that does not entitle you to any different treatment. You have not lost anything - just take one of the old (and small parcel size) homes back in the meantime and wait for the release like the vast majority are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adumelial Rothstein Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 The "forner" in my job title is because I early retired - because I could financially. I am also a Cisco kid. Some of you that are in IT will enjoy that pun. *Sighs* this post is not about me. It is about what I originally posted about Linden Lab taking their ease about providing the NEW Linden Homes. I have seen it 100s of times and it makes me want to hurl...seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they truly were using a 'cookie cutter sim' that just "whoop there she is" plopped out the regions, I'd actually expect to find lots more of them looking the same. Whereas, in traversing the entire continent, I'm not sure you'd actually find two identical parcels.

Chic Aeon Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 It seems pretty obvious that the OP (if actually serious) doesn't understand that WE DON'T AGREE. Oh well. I am am guessing that there are a fair amount of "multiple degree" folks that "retired early because they could" responding to the OP. But of course that doesn't count :D.

TaliaKi Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Hi ya, I used to be known as Tonia Kara and I still go by that user name on OpenSim Grids. I have been on and off Second Life since 2008 and spend more time at my self hosted region on Osgrid but got interested again in SL after reading about the new homes and continent. I am not sure if people look at the world map and see that Bellisseria looks like a beautiful Sea Horse. I have read the recent posts and I think that maybe LL have already created everything in parallel and using something like OAR files as the regions may already be ready but will be replacing the empty regions on a predetermined date. Why would they do that? My guess is that it creates that feeling of looking forward to getting something special like when you are waiting for that special something to arrive in the post. If you have to wait awhile then maybe you will want to hang on to it and treasure it. I remember years ago I ordered a bicycle and waited 28 days for it to arrive and yes it was frustrating but when that bicycle arrived I really appreciated it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Blossom Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 7 hours ago, Fritigern Gothly said: Wrong wrong, oh so wrong. OpenSim was created to offer similar functionality to SL, years after SL opened its doors. No LL employees, former or present, were involved in creating OpenSim and LL does not use OpenSim, I don;t even know where you got the notion that they do. What hatred! It was just a question, not an affirmation with the pretense of being right. A person gave me this information, with the same confidence which you are telling me that it is wrong. Both statements are not informative. I searched instead. I discovered that OpenSimulator was born after SL, so it's evident that SL doesn't use the same software as the OS.

When LL announced the arrival of the new houses, I didn't rush to get one. Do you know why? Because I never imagined that the LL didn't have enough homes for everyone who would apply for them. Now I can't choose any of the new houses... it doesn't matter, I don't cut my veins for this. But in this way, some premium users have a better allocation and others cannot have it (for now). Also, some people like me don't like houseboats at all but would like one of the traditional houses. I'm afraid that the 28 days of your bike won't be enough for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adumelial Rothstein Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 in addition to what has been replied I hope that Linden Labs will break down the "Houseboat" and "Traditional" to: LH - Traditional - Winchester LH - Traditional - Alderley LH - Traditional - Continental LH - Houseboat - Windlass 16 X 64 LH - Houseboat - Wallower 32 X 32 LH - Houseboat - Evening Star 16 X 64 As those are the builds I see in one of the districts. They should do this with pictures as they have done the older Linden Lab Homes. Awe gee, more work more wait eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't break it down further because, unlike the old Linden Homes where you had to pick the style within the theme and had to move to a different parcel to choose a different style, with the new homes you have a choice of which style you want to rez. The mailbox in front of the traditional homes lets you choose between Winchester, Alderley, Continental or Adams. Likewise, the life preserver for the houseboats lets you choose one of the houseboat styles. This allows one to try each style out before deciding which one they want to stay with, and it also allows one to easily change to a different style later on. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And be glad, you will get one one day. RL is even more cruel... Buy a cellphone - one year later its outdated by a new model. Buy a car - maybe it gets a facelift months after you got your one. Buy clothes - the ones from last year dont follow the current fashion trends that well anymore.

Seriously, you have not visited the demo area or read a single blogpost that told you you can change house or boat directly on the spot? It is 4 houses and 4 boats, by the way.
