It's next to water, a vehicle rez zone, and a Pickle hangout. That's the Fairgrounds off on the horizon. Good spot for sociable types. I got that one, again out of curiosity, but released it as I'm not that sociable. 5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is a random allocation system, it takes a while for people to find what suits them, and it also takes a while to work out what you want from what is available...and what , if any, the compromises need to be. Don't forget you can move too! @Raspberry Crystal, I see no point in calling people out who happen to like a particular post. I did understand & appreciate the writer's points. I also wrote after that post ""I've never seen a region where most every house stayed with an original owner, even with lots next to my Vic I thought were "perfect" were not their "Perfect", hedge/no hedge, sand only, grass only....everyone's hunt for their perfect is different. House hoppers are just looking for the home that makes them (most) happy. There will be (10's of) thousands of more houses coming, but it also takes time for the Moles to make them. " I suspect most people who follow this thread are savvy enough to know how the random system for allocation and abandon works and if not, would ask. "Don't forget you can move too!" tends to be used often a hammer rather than offering a welcoming hand of understanding. Those with 1 account can find it a challenge when seeing a number of users with multiple accounts gobble up 1/3 to 1/2 of a new region at a time consistently, and then dump them minutes \ hours or a day or two later. 1 account get's you 5 tries, 10 accounts for 50 tries and is totally allowed. I don't fall into either user's category but it costs nothing to appreciate their goals & concerns. Edited February 3 by Mitch Merricks 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's twelve bucks down the drain! That would have bought a lot of bubble gum! Just for that, you can't come to my sleepover!

Worth at least $12, at any rate. 😛 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

karynmaria 3,188 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 12 hours ago, Xeriko Melnik said: Me with an unpopular opinion, but what @Chloe Dolores is saying is so true in my case: I don't want to stay in a region that keeps changing parcels ownership constantly. I prefer when stability gives the impression that you know your neighbors (a --fake-- sense of community perhaps?). I think I understand what you mean. Even though you might not interact with the neighbors it is kind of a comfort to see the same houses with the same owner and decorations and the sense that these people are still here. I was lucky to get a parcel in Edwina and most of the ones in that area still have the same owners when they released them in April. Even in the regions beside me alot of the parcels were claimed in April. I find it gives me the homey, lived in kind of feeling. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm actually not sure what 'calling people out' means so I can't comment on that. I'm not going to make assumptions about how savvy people are as I know so well that even after all these years I have deep chasms in my knowledge about SL, even about things that afterwards seem to have been obvious. I have only got one account also, and it takes a bit of nerve to give up that one home and risk trying to find another plot which suits you better. I was trying to offer encouragement rather than slapping someone down, though I understand that it is easy to read plain text in a different way to what had been intended. edit: I was agreeing with your written text, I didn't spot your like, doing the multiple quotes thingy was beyond me on my android device.

Since that list was posted, Levity, Cheddar Bay, and Ebbe Tide have been released. So if we go in order of the list, Spiderwood would be next. However, after looking around over the weekend, I think it's more likely it will be Yellowmarsh, which appears to be closer to being ready to go. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
