For me it difficult to explain what im an seeing when i see the posts A premium membership, for just a month is not a lot of money, even for those that have to pay VAT. If it is a lot of money for some, then don’t buy multiple memberships. I don’t get the judgement here? Perhaps it is “addiction” but it just seems like people enjoy owning a variety of homes or multiple of similar homes... as long as it’s fun, it’s still inexpensive entertainment. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Are people so addicted to SLthat they have to get extra houses or is it a means of trying to beat each other to the best houses. For me it difficult to explain what im an seeing when i see the posts All of my alts were created long ago to donate tier to my Mainland group. It was cheaper to pay for another Premium, offset by the L$ weekly stipend, and have that Premium donate their tier for larger plots of land rather than having one account pay for additional tier every month. With the Premium fee increase, that is not necessarily true anymore. When Bellisseria came about and I decided that I like the homes there, I reduced my Mainland holdings so that some of the other accounts could apply their tier to a Linden Home instead. I actually don't do a lot of house hunting / jumping. I still own the Traditional that I got on the first day that any Bellisseria homes were released. I still own the Houseboat that I got on the first day that the original Squishy Pickle was released. My trailer isn't my original, but that is more because I wasn't sure if I wanted one. I got one, played with it for a few days, and then let it got. A few weeks later I decided to give the trailer another chance and so I nabbed one again. I did go through a few locations that day, but not many and haven't moved locations since then. I have grabbed a few Vics over the time since they were released, but I'm just not "feeling" them, so even after checking out a few different locations, I stopped even trying for one of those. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

For me it difficult to explain what im an seeing when i see the posts I'm a bit curious to why anyone would concern themselves with how anyone else spends their money. 🤔 People have premium accounts for lots of reasons I expect. That's really their own business I think. Don't worry about it 😃 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LittleMe Jewell 37,361 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Changed my mind while bored at work before my half day of vacation kicks in. So I did a check on the Land page and a Traditional popped up. I do still periodically check on those, just to see if I can get something a bit more secluded that what I already have. The one I got assigned looks like it just **might** be, but I'll have to wait until I'm home to log in and check for sure. Based on the other times I've done this, it will not be better than my current somewhat secluded spot though. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Sylvia Tamalyn 16,430 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) My alts and I had a run of good luck the past 24 hours catching and releasing camper spots located next to water. As far as I know, they are all abandons, so don't let anyone tell you there aren't great "used" parcels out there!

I don't think I've ever been to that area before. ooo! That'sa very pretty region on the Pickle, come see us in Well Springs! The pickle has great amenities very close to Gentle Grove. For me, hopping has been a form of tourism as well as home-hunting. Even if it doesn't have as much privacy as you'd ideally like, maybe hold onto it for a bit, climb on a horse or scooter, and have fun poking around. Great place to sail from as well, boat rez zone at the lighthouse in Pegleg Channel! I'm another former house-hunter who follows this thread just to share in everyone's hunting adventures. 2019 in Belli has been terrific, thanks not only to LL and our wonderful Moles, but also thanks to everyone in this forum, who have made it a warm place. It's been a never-ending source of amusement for me, in the midst of a 2019 where RL throughout the world (as well as my little corner) has been stressful and, to use a technical term, sucky. Here's to a betterer 2020 RL, and continued wonderfulness in Belli! 12 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MirandaBowers 1,588 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I abandoned my Vic last night for a boat around midnight and as of that time, the only plentiful house options were Boats and Campers. No clue what the abandon rate is for Vics and Trads. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
