It's not anything near what i'm looking for(green water.. without a view of trailers or houseboats). It'd be a great spot for somebody looking to get in to Bellisseria at all, though.

Elena Core 5,384 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Morning my great hunters!!! Early here in Europe, and three different campers have gone through (around 12:00 am). I guess it's abandons, from people getting ready for new releases. I am sure some of us will get new homes this week, there are several areas that look almost ready to be released. I'm waiting for a nice camper facing a lake/river, fingers crossed!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is Paislee Springs and Quitmann campers ... also good morning! yesterday two different campers in Copper Kettle and one in Whackamole that I have seen - Quitmannout of the loop but Paislee currently still in Edited October 28, 2019 by Chloe Dolores 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nika Talaj 5,512 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 I was involved with 2 of those camper releases in Paislee Springs. Earlier today, I claimed a camper there, intending to use it to try release-and-catch, to switch owners. I do have a different nice property that I would like to keep, but pry out of the hands of an alt, and I wanted to practice. So a little after 11 SLT I went in to look at the parcel. (It's glitched btw, still has hovertext). So I filed a ticket on it, and we went exploring. We noticed that a nearby parcel was owned by Governor Linden. After about an hour, we returned to Nika's parcel, and I saw that the other parcel was still in maintenance. I decided to test the theory that I've seen espoused here that more than one parcel has to be released for them to show up on the land page. So I abandoned my parcel, then hit backspace on the land page and reclaimed it. And sure enough, the other parcel had been claimed by someone too, after sitting around for more than an hour. Corroborating evidence for the theory, I guess. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nika Talaj 5,512 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Also, this provides more cautionary tales for attemping release-and-catch. If more than one property has to be available for an abandon to show up on the land page, then you really only have a 50% chance, at most, of getting the one you abandon. ETA: So, I suppose, the way to try release-and-catch would be to have TWO properties on hand that you're willing to abandon, and it would be best if they're different styles - say a camper and a houseboat. Pick a very slow time, and abandon the one you want to catch. If you lose it, oh well. But if it hangs around in maintenance, then abandon the OTHER one, to force it to show up.

I think ITS KIND OF TRICKY TO WORK OUT 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's a camper at Paislee in maint now for a while so I expect that to come up again once another one enters the system. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to be an addicted hunter but have sort of become tired of it. So I am not sure if my alt will take part in the hunts of this week ... allthough I MIGHT run autorefresh on my netbook just out of curiosity to see when and what is released. I certainly will keep NO camper because my malealt has one like most people want "facing a lake/river" ... and I doubt if any other will top that. If and when he'll be giving it up (he MIGHT when the wintersurprise is revealed) I'll annonce it here. Edited October 28, 2019 by Leora Jacobus 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leora Jacobus 4,582 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) I find this theory about there having to be TWO abandons before they show takes some believing! TOO complicated for my taste! I abandoned tons of homes, usually stayed and watched and more that 90% were taken within a minute (or less). I tried this game (one person abandoning at an exact time the other trying to catch it) several times as catcher and abandoner and it NEVER worked out with TWO exceptions: The last two SUPER homes I got at Blackwater Shoals and at Axim (Beachhouse) I got this way!! Both on a Weekend. Blackwater I just asked the owner (because house was empty) if she might be abandoning it and she said "Yes! I can do so right away!" ... and we timed it and it HAPPENED! ... Second time a friend who knew I was keen on that lot got a better one and we met Saturday midnight SLT and it HAPPENED! ... So what did I learn? It CAN be done but it should be done at a weekend at a very quiet time and it is risky!! But if the person who abandons the house will do so anyway - what do you have to loose? Therefor if I had a home I cherish on an alt I would NEVER run this risk just to get it on my main. If I only can afford one Premium- membership why not for the alt? The main can do without! MY main did so for eleven years!! *lol* Edited October 28, 2019 by Leora Jacobus 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
