All the various methods, whay and what fors have been been discussed in depth as well you don't see many of them as they often turn into a circle of doom, between those who think lists would be good for them, and others who think not. Which then results in the whole thread being deleted by the moderators Makes sense why I havent seen one No need for negativity tornadoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People debate pointlessly a lot and escalate seemingly harmless conversations in forums for sure , but it is actually to raise their personal prestige in their own mind , they don't really care about the debate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone could breathe easier. LL announce there will now be a queue. Everyone piles on to try and get in early, mad panic, followed by disappointment and disenfranchisement. Everyone who didn't get a number on day one will assume that their number is so high it might take years, so they wont hold on and wait. LL release homes, they go to ticketed people in order. There will be a variable delay between LL offering and the resident taking occupancy. The impression will be that the community is empty, or that people have claimed homes and can't be bothered to move in, followed by complaints from people who signed up just to get a ticket, only to drop membership when their monthly membership renewal ticks over and they still haven't gotten one. The complaining now is nothing next to the complaining a ticket based system will produce. A lottery system will feel even more unfair, some people will enter and loose every single time, forever. First come first serve keeps engagement and anticipation high. You might not like it, but you're still here. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not like it, but you're still here. as was discussed in the last thread about a lottery before it got deleted it doesn't have to be a binary choice: Lottery game or Refresh game there can be both simultaneously. Some homes are allocated by Lottery and some homes are allocated by Refresh. When so then some people will enter the lottery and be happy to leave it at that. Others will continue to refresh. And others, probably most, will do both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't assume everyone who has an active sl sub is active in sl. Homes need to be in the hands of people who will actively take immediate ownership in order to build the community. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That a lottery ticket costs 1024m tiers to be available for a home prize to be won. When so then the winner gets notified by email where the home is, and done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sometimes had posts removed because they were in response to the main target of the removal. So sometimes a post can be mild and you won't get warnings for it.

I don't have a houseboat at all much less one to spare, so I can't really help you out there, sorry. But what I do want to clarify, and I don't mean to come across as offensive or belittle you at all (and I hope you don't take it that way as it's not intentional), is that you are only homeless by choice. If you are a premium member you can still get a house right now, just not perhaps the type of house you are after. No one is guaranteed a new house in Bellisseria. We are only guaranteed a premium house. And premium houses still exist in the older regions. So there are houses there for premium members to claim. You just can't have a premium house (not even an old one) and then try to claim a new one when it becomes available. You can only ever have one premium house at a time per account. But that's the risk you have to take. It's the same any premium member has to make. We've all had to decide, and so do you. The alternative is to rent land while you wait so you have a place to call home for now. It might not seem fair to have to pay rent, no. It's not fair that the older houses have half the prim allowance compared to the new homes and you're paying the same premium rates. But this is the system that is in place, and a system that we cannot change, no matter how "betrayed" we may feel. I'll say it again because it bears repeating; you are only homeless by choice. There are choices out there and they probably aren't ideal. You just have to decide what option works best for you. In saying all that I do sincerely wish you the best of luck and hope you do get the home you are waiting for soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetTaffeyLove Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) I had to give up my Meadowbrook style SL Home for a chance at a Traditional or Houseboat style SL Home. I don't make the rules because if i did I would say, keep your old home until we get you the new one, so you won't be Homeless!!!
