Lucille Babenco Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) I think luck just smiled at me, finally.

Thank you : It was the style I like, the grass is beautiful but I feel more comfortable with the sand, and the views are good. But I'll have to play a bit with the colours, that yellow wall kill me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is basically the theme here - what one of us dream of, another flees from. If we keep it up, eventually with luck we'll all end up in the right spots for each of us. Basically my preference is to be next to or in the water, but with green right up to the water land... which is... very rare... But I did manage to catch it.

It's very true that what some people like, others dislike ... but with more available homes everybody will get what they want, and not only people with alts.

ARGHHHHHH Good lord, are you like this in RL? People have been telling you all day that terrific abandons are not, at this time, all that rare. If you don't believe any of us (and clearly you don't), then please believe the reality of what you just experienced.

GinaFreumann Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) I'm not sure what you mean, Lucille, by your distaste for an "abandoned" home. Are you thinking its like a real life home, where there was a previous tenant, who left dings in the wall & dust bunnies behind the fridge? That doesn't really apply to a virtual house that didn't suit someone's taste. They are all clean & shiny each time you rez one. No dust bunnies. Maybe you just need to think about it a different way? Instead of keeping the copy you tp into, rez a new one & its a completely new house, never touched by anyone before you. If you like the neighborhood, you stay. If it doesn't suit you, abandon & try again. It usually is a slow process, but that can be fun. Now that I'm (temporarily) settled, I miss the hunt, lol. Don't be discouraged or disappointed, make a game of it. 😉 Haha, never mind! I see you did find your dream, congratulations. Its a great spot, & I love the yellow you chose.

Elora Lunasea Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Ok who broke the land page? (I forgot I have one alt left w/no home) Too many people complaining and the darn thing now shows not one single house of any type 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elora Lunasea Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Ok this is strange. I can bring it up on my phone but not on my laptop. I tried shutting down and it still won't load up. It's only on that one account. All the others are fine. I can get into the account but just not onto that page. If I wasn't so lazy I'd go turn on my PC and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Tamalyn Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Just saw a Victorian on the land page a couple of minutes ago.

I'm an adult, GinaFreumann, and I fully understand that homes in SL are what they are, bits as all, they don't have old or crap furnitures of previous owners… it's your new home when you got it… that's clear. Here the homes don't have an history. they don't keep things from other people. The "abandoned" concept refers to a home that someone has previously left, different than a "new home" released by Linden. But right, both are homes. Yes, you can call it a game, it's just the way to get a Linden Victorian home. Oh no, I didn't select that yellow…. it was there in the home...

Sylvia Tamalyn Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Contrary to rumor, I am seeing Victorians at a fairly regular pace tonight (I've caught and abandoned two of them). It's not so very impossible to get a Victorian, even just trying on one account as I was! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the day I'm a normal person Frustration can take a little while to move past so I get that... but creating controversy to see what happens is never a good impulse. (I create a lot of controversy in here more often than I'd like... but it's NEVER been just for kicks... I just happen to have a radically different worldview than most here and it means I am often the oil swimming in their water... people that just stir up things for kicks... that tends to go in bad directions...) Do note over time that... the people posting about great spots they got with alts... have often been spending weeks or months tossing back 5 plots a day on that alt to get the one they finally post about. Your actual search, as you will note with time if you pay attention to the names here, was dramatically shorter than it was for most of us for a parcel that 99% of SLers would call possibly one of the best spots possible to get. It literally would have had to have been in the hands of me, on a split personality I was not aware of, for it to get tossed back... I think I am the only person who posts in here that wouldn't want that plot as one of their top choices... most of the regulars here have spent months trying to get that lucky... that is actually WHY many of them have spent a lot of money on alts... you managed to get it pretty quickly, and with your main...
