Nika Talaj Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Soft launch of SL17B in progress today (SL17B group members only). Patch has posted a pic of him at a music venue, possibly in the dry rock region of Awesome, where a hella good party looks like its in progress right now. Inworld chat says the moles are partying there. Enchant is still not connected to SL17B. However, an interesting detail: I noticed yesterday that the water regions all around SL17B's edges seem to have been put in place to make nice little shorelines on the resident build regions. EXCEPT: for 3 edges of Captivate, Exhilarate, and Incredible, which look sheer. Those edges could be finished nicely should Enchant decide to slide 3 regions east of where it is now. ETA: zipped in and I see those edges are all already rimmed with (unlinked) stone walls, ala Log Homes. Hard to say what, if anything, will happen next there!

Elena Blossom Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thanks for posting @Nika Talaj. I was visiting the SL17B regions, in search of some hints, but I couldn't actually see anything that might give me some information on the new theme!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leora Jacobus Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) I am inside the SL17B area .... where do you think the new theme might be (added) ??? PS: There is a "LH Demo area" but so far I only saw some TENTS there! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SL17B Exhilarate/8/131/24 There is also a group of very tiny campers .... wonder what THAT is supposed to be Edited June 18, 2020 by Leora Jacobus 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Psaltery Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I was riding a pod which crashed into a wall in Incredible trying to enter Enchant (which isn't there) so I presume when that turns up it will contain new homes. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nando Yip Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 THE QUESTION of a million Lindens: what will happen soon after this wall ??? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Voyager Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Last year at SL16B the lab opened the preview LH region on 20th June showing the new trailers/campers. I'm wondering if the lab are following the same sort of time frame again for SL17B. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Blossom Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Well, there is a dinosaur park and a wedding/divorce chapel: rather than the new theme, it looks like this whole celebration is protraying me.... But I agree there are many references to lakes, rivers, water... Edited June 18, 2020 by Elena Core 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Kaestner Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I wonder if the theme has something to do with VACATIONS and Vacation Housing (hence the tiny campers, tents, etc). That could also explain the 'Bungalo' {?} Patch posted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Well, SL17B's theme this year is “vacations and road trips”, which does explain the tiny campers, etc.. I'm not sure that would extend to a new Linden Home theme - we'll just have to see. Maybe tomorrow, maybe Tuesday. The builds have a 'theme park' feel to them, from the dinosaur park to the monorail to the LogLand landscaping, as well as a lot of the resident exhibits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polenth Yue Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I took dumping people at the tents as a joke (you're camping out waiting for the new region to appear). I wouldn't assume that the other regions have anything to do with the new theme or that they are secretly clues. The Linden Homes demo is part of the birthday, not the whole birthday. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity Blakewell Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 OK...are there any other Linden homes called "Chesapeake"? Cause a store that sells Linden Home add-ons is at the Shop and Hop, and they have an addition for a home called "Chesapeake"... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exhibitors and merchants don't know anything secret about new themes... anything for sale is for an existing house. Trust me on not everything being a clue. The stuff other residents have done is simply down to the summer holidays theme of the event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there is already a camper model named "Chesapeake", I doubt that any new theme would also use that name. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been around quite awhile now :D. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic Aeon Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) I have to agree that the "tent" area must be the entry to the Belli houses. I am not expecting a new "theme" but perhaps more than one new house to be added to the mailboxes with the older themes. Easy to plunk down the region, take out a piece of wall and let people come see. It could of course have ALL the houses and versions and not just the new one(s). The red dot on the sign says "you are here" and to the right left is the empty water awaiting the "demo area" :D.

Nika Talaj Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 /me laughs. Given what's happened at other reveals, I think it's very nice of LL to provide a place to camp out while waiting! 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not Patch say they are in no hurry, and maybe 2021? Plus, they should really use the same windows/doors/trim as the existing ones when/if they put more in the mailboxes.. I think this one would be like a swan with the sparrows if they dress up a new house/houses and put it with the more modest Traditionals. This looks like a new theme. I believe beach/vacation houses. I do not want another 512 theme, but I can't always get what I want. Maybe LL uses "vacation" themes for the 512's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xViXeNx71 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 If that swamplike area next to the LH Demo area at SL17B is ever going to be a new LH theme, then all I've got to say is: Shut Up and Take My Money! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My idea ... if we get a Premium Plus, the tents with land (256m2) might become a Premium Light ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
