Does anyone know if Thursday the 2.nd is a working day for LL and releases to be expected? Or does their XMas holiday last till Monday 6th? My colleagues in the US are returning to the office today. Not sure about LL, although it might be a bit early for a release... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Eirynne Sieyes 649 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hmmmm.... How do you do it? When you have alts, can the owner avi set it up so that the other alts can use the home? I have the security system set to a group AND to name, yet while an alt in that group is not kicked out, they have no ability to operate house controls. Is there a way? Happy New Year!

The house controls for decorating, opening and closing of windows and doors etc can be set on the in house control panel. Just enter your alt names and finish by selecting the ‘list’ button. Only the owner can ever change the house style from the outside controller. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from Walspurgisnacht info, which is great, I've also created a group for my partner and me, setting up our homes to it 😊 3 Link to post Share on other sites

While today is not considered a holiday in the US, many folks will still take today and tomorrow off work. LL will be back today officially, but I don't know if they'll have enough staff in all areas to do any releases before next Monday. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Leora Jacobus 5,563 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Has anyone seen anything but housebouts and campers today? I haven't! .... or might be one Trad and one Vic (seen passing by couldn't catcch) in about 10 hours autorefresh. High time the good old days of a daily release return.

Milk Pixelmaid 1,595 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 But the rolling release is much more fun... that way people in all time zones can try instead of region stalkers. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I concur. Though I've never region-stalked before, I was driving around and spotted an amazing location and for kicks I did the about land thing to learn who the lucky person is and... it's in Maintenance! LOL That and. a few salt-and-peppered around it, while others, also salt and peppered in there are occupied. Grrr. I have to admit, I need to keep an eye on that and gonna have to abandon my existing one just to try for this. (So that also means my horse and car rezzers will be picked up, sorry, folks - but they'll be back in a new location soon enough) I'm not even going to say which theme it is, because I'm stalking it!

Nika Talaj 7,825 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Well, I'm finally going to free Nika from the cage on her houseboat, and abandon it. It's on the Lower Clump in Deep Thought, a square parcel directly opposite the lighthouse. It's named 42, for some reason no other parcels there were named that. This is the view with DD 200. Yes, it faces west. Going in 15 minutes, 11:15 SLT. In her few moments of freedom, she put a retractable gangplank over to the road to get to the bistro table in the cute park there. At DD 200 you see Pyri Peak, at 160 she didn't. It is hard to let this one go, great spot, but we won't have time to furnish it or sail from there for a while, better someone else enjoys. ETA: Gone in 10 seconds. Don't know if they're keeping it. Edited January 2, 2020 by Nika Talaj 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Frigga Freidman 3,537 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Will be releasing a very nice parcel in Forest Field - on a corner, near the sea, green with trees, hilly areas, rocky outcrops. Will release it at 1PM SLtime, in 17 minutes. Good luck! Update: Gone at 1:02! Edited January 2, 2020 by Frigga Freidman 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LittleMe Jewell 39,144 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Since Lil still has the Traditional she picked up the other day, and I'm still debating between it and the one the my alt has had since the initial release, I don't have anyone else that can look for houses. I need to decide on my Traditional. *sigh* Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's in a unique position which I found really neat with the water on both sides and sitting at a dead-end street. I love uniquely placed homes.

I remember your post a few days ago mentioning Gentle Grove. Yep, that sounds like a good description of the plot. It is the only Trad that I've picked up since April 15th that I have held for more than 15 min. I do like it a lot, but i also like the other. Eventually, after popping between them multiple times, I'll make a decision. Edited January 3, 2020 by LittleMe Jewell 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Dora Paule 129 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Happy New Year everybody My game of homes is over, I think I had a good prize with my current Linden at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Neville/177/136/32 Could only let this go if I got another Victorian on the beach shoreline, I'm more comfortable on sand than grass. Maybe one day Linden will allow the owners to exchange their homes with ohters, who knows Good luck 7 Link to post Share on other sites
