It seems like we are seeing more "I got one!" posts since LL put the auto refresh limit in place. Not really logical : however they are distributed - for every house that goes out there is SOMEONE who could yell "I've got one!!" If he does so in this forum - in this thread - that is another question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armani223 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 😔 missed out again! If anyone’s not happy with theirs they received today, I’m eagerly here awaiting any abandonments 😬👏👏 Just one! Not 2 or 3 I would just like one 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsah Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I got a home in Sweetmarsh today - It's a house on the corner and up on a hill so it is huge. Not what I truly wanted but also not too far from the water (across the street) I just hope the neighbors don't mind me riding my jet ski in between their homes (safe grounds there lol) to hit the water. However, I have a few questions if anyone knows the answer. I have a traditional house, is there a way to change that theme? I know you can select different homes under traditional but I see some homes in the hood that are not like the traditional homes I am rezzing. Also, if I decide to abandon this home, do I lose the name I gave this land? i- I am also a biker so the road is very much welcomed. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the mailbox, you should be able to change your home to any of those other types. Inside the home is a control panel where you can change the colors. Don't abandon it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you abandon a Home just short distance across the street from the canal...never do that! People kept saying, me in Passwall included, Sweetmarsh is one the best regions so far! I got motorcyles lets ride on region roads! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that what you are seeing is one of the 4 Traditional homes with add-ons. Many folks are adding to the outside of their home -- carports, extra rooms, etc... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: I sure wish I could sleep in till 9:25 AM! Here I am with my lack of RL, up at 6:00 and at work. Le sigh. 6:00 am would be a dream. I wake up at 5:10 am, and I'm out the door at 6:15 am to head into NYC. The only good thing is I leave at 4:15pm, which is nearly 2 hours earlier than everyone else. After being there for 10 years, I finally was like - look, I'm up at the crack of dawn anyway to feed cats, so why don't I just come in, work through lunch (I eat at my desk) and just leave early so I actually enjoy my evenings? Luckily, my boss was cool with it 😊 Works much better for me. Edited July 19, 2019 by Elora Lunasea 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, my boss was cool with it 😊 Works much better for me. I get to sleep until 5:15 during the work week, but I rush through the getting ready stuff and leave the house at 5:50; at work by 6:20 and therefore leave the office at 3:00 pm each day. I only do the early hours though because long ago I lost a tolerance for working late afternoons - which is also why I hate it when I have to log on in the evenings or weekends from home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does so in this forum - in this thread - that is another question. Well, yes, my point is that the people who have been posting in here for weeks saying they can't get a home, now seem to be getting them. Perhaps the new system is distributing chances more evenly and now the ones who were shut out because they weren't hammering on auto refresh have a chance, too. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciarra Lexington Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Because of RL obligations, I knew I was going to miss today's release, so I came here to see which one it was, some general info, etc. While following the chat, I noticed one particular person (not mentioning names) who is frequently venting her frustration over not getting a perfectly located home. Many of you were responding to her posts in an equally snippy way, and this makes no sense to me at all. Why keep it going? If reading her posts rankles your nerves, it's simple. Don't read them. But, if you're quoting her and adding your own sarcastic or snarky remarks, you're truly not any better. And sure, you could say the same about me for adding this post to the mix. The difference is, mine is purely intended as a gentle reminder that even the crabbiest of us are people, too. You don't know what's happening in their world. You don't know why something like this is so important to them. Don't judge. People are going to complain, that's just human nature for many. However, those who rant without an audience, will quiet down a lot faster once they realize no one is listening. Peace, all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we are. As are Moles and Lindens. Everyone has things they are dealing with. You, my dear, don't know what's happening in anyone's world. What we can control, however, are our reactions. Someone has been reacting very badly on multiple platforms and she has been repeatedly called on it. I'll ignore a misbehaving child in a restaurant, but not a misbehaving adult in my neighborhood. But thank you for the lecture. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
