Since I'm not at work that day, I am watching it 13:20 PM my time, before the Linden team get their first cup of coffee. So I hope they don't get up 04 AM or something and log in very early. 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Good for anyone not keen on the Victorians right now. I am keen on the Victorians and freed three alts of their homes for that but I can let them catch and abandon a bit for now as I think it highly unlikely that today the HUGE Victorian release will take place, They did not fill in the gap yet between the main continent of Bellisseria and the new south. I doubt they will do it and RIGHT afterwards start releasing. Anyway it will last for at LEAST 24 hours ... up to a week I think. Today I think it will be Hornpipe - just boats Edited December 9, 2019 by Leora Jacobus 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Frigga Freidman 3,537 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Does anyone know if this persistence of campers is really just abandons rather than a release? Link to post Share on other sites

I think the gap is a buffer, but not one which needs to be filled in or visible before Victorians will be released. There are, however, several unnamed TH regions to the east which look ready for release. Still hoping something happens today... Link to post Share on other sites
Frigga Freidman 3,537 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) There are currently 9 green dots in the new Victorian regions. Still not possible to TP in. Now there are 12. Now up to 16. No more than 2 in a single region. Edited December 9, 2019 by Frigga Freidman update numbers 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
PrudenceAnton 5,289 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) This is a first. So many people are wanting the new theme, it seems, they are abandoning the other styles of homes, so that when I clicked to see what was available in Bellisseria, I actually got a menu with a choice between 2 theme types of homes. 😮 Edited December 9, 2019 by PrudenceAnton 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I wish you are right and I am wrong. I guess: 24 hours or less. It is possible that some alts get a house each, and that the houses with the least favorable location will be abandoned. Hopefully it is possible to pick up such abandons a bit after. If it is going to last a week, I am flabbergasted. But happy. 🤩 Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't last long, because it was a single boat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Leora Jacobus 5,572 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The reason I think it might last a week is the following: I follow this thread very closely for months now. At first there were lots of people really DESPERATE for a home, hammering at the landpage day and night, Nowadays who wants a home usually gets one within a few hours at least when he follows the advices available and shows some patience and determination. My theory is that most of the people wanting Bellisseria homes HAVE homes by now. The campers were a totally different thing because they opened up the possibility to have a 512 lot on mainland aswell. Some people want that. But the Victorians are just a different kind of house. Some may llike it more some may like it less than the Traditionals. Why should there be such a RUSH that thousands of them would be absorbed in a few days? Which people should claim them? Where are they living now? In old homes? Why didn't they try for a new one yet? In Traditionals, Campers or houseboats in Bellisseria? Then they abandon those and those will become available. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Is it possible that not of that large new area will be victorians? Might there be traditionals there also? We do see a few new houseboat sites on the map. Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing would prevent them from releasing a dozen or so regions a day... Still keeping fingers crossed for the next couple of hours. Number of green dots up to 28, 8:42 am SL time. 30 dots at 8:56am SL time. Edited December 9, 2019 by Frigga Freidman numbers again Link to post Share on other sites
Leora Jacobus 5,572 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) This release reminds me of the Squishy Pickle in May. There also the regions appeared but you couldn't enter them - but then they had not made a gap between so you could at least zooom around them. Masses of people gathered and watched for quite a long time hoovering at the edge of the forbidden zone. On 14th of May about 9:00 am SLT I have the first screenshots showing the new land and people at the edge ... Two hours later this ... and this ... it was on the 15th of May 10:10 am SLT that my alt grabbed the first houseboat Edited December 9, 2019 by Leora Jacobus 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There were dots in the area before the camper release, but that was a little different in that the regions all looked finished. Some of the Victorian regions don't look finished on the map... it could be moles are working to finish those. Link to post Share on other sites
