Raven Cedarbridge Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Being in SL since 2009 and always had a Linden home was VERY excited to see the NEW homes and House boats....amazing concept and idea and i thank Linden for this....so i did abandon my old linden home, which i had since 2009 and have tried numerous times with no such "luck" even getting a new linden home....actually i am a bit frustrated....living in the pacific 3 hours behind SL i stayed up with lols of coffee and did paper work Friday to purposely try to get a home. Never once did i see it in the get your home section, and found out when i woke up today that the homes were given gone by 7am....i find it odd as i was up SL time before that for 4 hours and never seen it once.....personally i feel there should be a kind of waiting list for people who want a NEW home ....i so love the House Boats...what an amazing concept.....but at least with a waiting list ...there is hope and encouragement...that you will get a home....right now i am not very encouraged.....any feed back on this would be good.....chuckles and it says i am a noobie maybe to this forum but been in SL since 2009 smiles happy Edited June 28, 2019 by Raven Cedarbridge not a noobie smiles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Tamalyn Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 There are many threads discussing this already, so you might want to read them to see feedback and thoughts from others. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ananoelle Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Theres plenty of feedback on the many threads about missing out on a Linden home. Check there. I'll say this though, it doesnt matter your time zone, how old your account is, how long you've been premium, you gender, sexuality, height, weight, or financial status.. there are plenty of premium accounts in the same boat as your are. Suck it up and get in the game! 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kia Kiyori Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 From all I've read, they tend to be gone within seconds. A waiting list sounds like a very practical proposition. Would certainly put paid to frustration and disappointment for those who now find themselves having to be out of pocket to rent privately in the meantime. Not sure how difficult it might be to implement such a thing, but I think it's a great idea. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarknessIsBest Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I know how you feel. I WAS up at that hour and had been for over four hours refreshing that page and never saw a houseboat or traditional home once. It is frustrating to say the least. So far, since after the first release I have only seen houseboats, some in nice places some not so much. I have yet to be offered a traditional home if hadn't seen them myself I would think they were a myth. A houseboat would be great if I liked the ocean and I was a beach person but I'm not. So I am willing to wait for my home be it in the mountains or the rolling hills with a view of the water in the distance or if it happens to be right next to it that's cool too. I just hope I get it by October because I really had my heart set on decorating for the holidays. And yes, I have read every single thread in this forum some of them twice and sometimes it's refreshing when a new one is started. After all that is why it is called a forum, right so we can all speak our thoughts? I would like to thank Patch Linden and his team and the Moles for all their hard work and creativity they have put into this project for us. I'm sure it must be just as frustrating for them meeting supply and demand. Patch is probably thinking what have I done and probably wishing for a magic wand right about now so he could satisfy everyone's housing need in one wave of his hand. I know my beautiful house will come to me in a beautiful location hopefully by October because it will be worth the wait. See the power of positive thought. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I think it is typically more houses that pop up rather than houseboats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get a home, each and every last one of us will. 😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be even more different themes eventually and really the moles are doing the best they can and trying to do it as fast as they can. And it is fun to watch people eventually get a new home and to see the regions grow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It use to be, but over the last couple of weeks it seems to be more houseboats abandoned, and i'm seeing more people say they decided to leave the boats and go for a house. Maybe people are sick of feeling like they're on top of eachother(since no "dividing" landscaping like the houses). To OP: It sucks honey, and i'm sorry, but patience is key here. Many people came late(I didn't get a house for 3 weeks after release) and grabbed them, many got them early because they were aware something was going on, and they were watching and waiting. As said, it doesn't matter how long you've been premium, what mattered initially was whether or not you were paying attention.. now it's persistence, reflexes, and luck until they have more places to quell demand. Which has swelled immensely since the birthday bash opened. They are not copy/pasting these places, so it takes time. I do wish they'd disclose that you have a chance of getting a new home right now, not a guarantee, as i've seen quite a few people jump on board only to find out they can't get a house so easily... but $ Edited June 29, 2019 by s2Pandora 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
