That was just a thought tho, you can chill and relax not having to worry about missing your favorite region because you know when it will be released, I hope they will stick with this alphabetical order, it's rally helping. I understand why you prefer the 3 releases per day. And, while you might not know why people don't like that, I do know -- because they have posted their reasons here. Some people (likely the majority of folks wanting homes) cannot sit around at their computer all day waiting for releases. Some people cannot click through the screens fast enough to get a house during a single region release when all homes in that region are claimed within seconds. Some people are not playing GOH and are not super picky about location -- they just want a Linden Home of a specific type. LL really does not like us playing GOH, so I'm sure they are not going out of their way to make that easier. Their job is to get Linden Homes out to as many people as possible as fast as possible. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked on Pier on the map but looked like THAT when I landed there. But maybe you are right and I got muddeled using the tiny netbook, seeing hardly anything.

Also looks like Pier to me. The houses in this area do tend to have a little sand under the pier or right under their front halves. Maybe something wasn't loading?

Well yes that's fair if you really think about it. I'm new to this "GOH" thing, I don't think I'll be doing it again after the stilts ( I hope ). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now when I'm downgrading alts and staying with what I have, and it's because RL has taken over... Otherwise...

Edit: Or the link was very messed up and they need to look in to that. I really think it has been my mistake - I looked (at the wrong house) and abandoned (the right house) thinking I had abandoned the on Land one ! *lol* ... seeing too many stilst come and go makes me muddleheaded! I really just try to verify that the one I intend to keep (at least till July) is a rather nice one compared to MANY others (if not all). So I can downgrade my four one-month-house-hunters without regret! Edited January 20, 2021 by Leora Jacobus 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl Herber Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 15 hours ago, Frigga Freidman said: I'm going through them now - there are more regions with "Protected Land" status than 32. BUT of the regions whose houses changed from "Protected Land" to "Linden Home" today, I've found SEVENTEEN in which not a single house of any type has been claimed: Knot Atoll, Lands Edge, Lark Nest, Leeside Harbor, Lei Miz, Liberty Harbour, Lifeboat, Lookout Below, Lunasea Beach, Mangrove Secrets, Memison, Mussel Beach, No Wake, Octopus Garden, Offshore, Otter Limits, Pelican Bayou. Strangely, in the middle of that, Mango Salsa has 1 claimed parcel. (Yeah, I'm trying to distract myself from what might happen in DC tomorrow...) Will amend this when I finish going through the remaining regions. I'm wondering if abandons go ahead of new releases in the queue? This would mean that the new ones only get claimed once all the abandons have been picked up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a pier, abandoned it, and got it back two more times within seconds of each try Then tried for a OL, got one that is horrible and been out there for days. Thinking all we see on the land page is not new releases, but all the ones people have abandoned... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true that abandons are going ahead of new releases, then it needs to be reversed, otherwise the new ones will never be picked up at all. Abandons need to be at the back of the queue, not the front. Edited January 20, 2021 by Karly Kiyori 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT120 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I have been getting the same 2 log homes for the past several days as well. Going to have to stop playing for a while and wait for them to be claimed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would mean that the new ones only get claimed once all the abandons have been picked up. Due to how parcels seem to get picked up these days, some folks have speculated that the above is the case. It definitely wasn't back with the original Traditionals / Houseboats release, or even the Squishy Pickle Houseboats release after that. I used multiple alts to claim and abandon those within the initial 30-60 minutes of the releases and I never once got the same property a second time. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears in my inventory as: LUZ - Yuki turtleneck sweater (regular Mesh sizing w/ alpha layer) but I can't find a store by that name when searching. I'm pretty sure it's something I picked up via the now-defunct Stay At Home Club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind using my 5 tries on new, and not like them, but I feel like I'm wasting the tries on all that I've seen before...going to have to wait a few days to try some more, it's frustrating the other way 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabid Cheetah Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Friend scored their own private island; Well, sort of. And it was apparently an abandoned parcel, near @RitaCallisto's not-so-favorite place in Capn Billy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
