So basically, everyone sits around just refreshing all day long? No timeframe on those days? It would be helpful to at least have a time period so that people have at least a little leeway here. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a lucky moment getting a Belli home or Houseboat. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They release how ever many homes that are in that specific area. Not sure of the count because it each area has it's own landscaping theme not sure if it is 20,30 or less. Well there goes the nice Sweetmarsh homes guess people will have to wait again. These random times I could see would get to me also because they are right around the work day either going to work, at work, or leaving work when they like to release these homes.

GAWD What stinks is literally every release this week I was sitting in front of the computer, at work. I easily could have been paying attention if there was an actual, official notice that they were about to release the land. Ugh ok, I know they are doing their best. I get that. Been in SL long enough to know. Still frustrating. Ok, back to work and will quit my complaining, which, is out of the norm for me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never used that, so dunno. I got what I have just by randomly refreshing now and then, and waiting for luck to hand one to me. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Sweetmarsh Home you liked, possibly make a friend there that got it. Keep hanging aroung Sweetmarsh and the canal. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they are releasing the homes as each Region is completed, usually containing 24 or less Premium Homes in each Region, however the one where I lve does contain 30 Premium Houseboats. We know there are several team members needed to each finish their part in the Release process but I think it would be impossible to predict exactly when multiple team members will complete their part. Although you may feel this process isn't convenient I think this method has been implemented by LL in an attempt to release them as soon as possible, by popular demand. Eventually there will be enough and as that time approaches it will get easier to get a Home 😊 HUGS to all waiting and please take advantage of the open invitation to come and visit and explore this amazing unique Continent as it is being created, which is a very RARE privilege in itself! Come and say hello to your future neighbours and friends and cheer the hard-working Moles on! Edited July 19 by BJoyful 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes There is a Landmarks Thread in the Forum Or the Fairgrounds is a nice place to start and there's quite a lot of building and releasing going on near there. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bellisseria Fairgrounds/209/150/25 Come and enjoy 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got what I have just by randomly refreshing now and then, and waiting for luck to hand one to me. That's pretty much what I've been doing. I dispensed with the autorefresh a while ago. I have a houseboat (alt does) but would like a home. I have land that I rent and would eventually give it up if I'm able to get a house. I really love Bellessaria, LL has done such a fine job with this continent and I never thought I'd be happy on Mainland again but lo and behold, I truly am. Would like to make it as permanent as possible. Will continue refreshing periodically. Just kicking myself now and then too for letting 3 go on the last large release due to my not realizing how great the location was then and apparently it was the last time they gave actual notice about it. Oh well. Eventually I'm sure I'll hit on one. Not like I don't have a home as it is! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, that's exactly what they expect you to do if you want to get a new home in Bellisseria these days. Pretty crappy, right? I'm in the middle of trying to get one that's not slammed in the middle of a continent making me feel claustrophobic, and so I'm a few tries in. Litearlly I woke up this morning and logged on to find out I already missed the darn release. Like, seriously? I turned autorefresh on the minute I opened my browser. How is that possible? LOL.

I knowwww, that's the region I was hoping for but nah, people who have real lives and do things like sleep missed out on the release lolololol. Gotta love when LL does everything on their time zone not even giving consideration for East Coast, rofl. 😂😂😂😂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KohdaleeOi 92 Posted July 19 Was up til almost 4 a.m. this morning hoping to catch a release, finally logged. Every day when I log off, I have every expectation that I'll miss releases while I am offline. >.< Sure enough, I slept in a bit today and BOOOOOM.

He's been pretty happy with his houseboat too, and he wasn't so sure he'd enjoy it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
