Nika Talaj 5,678 Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 (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 Core 5,835 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leora Jacobus 4,647 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (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 by Leora Jacobus 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Garnet Psaltery 6,623 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Voyager 1,977 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elena Core 5,835 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (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 by Elena Core 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Kaestner 26 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nika Talaj 5,678 Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Polenth Yue 954 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trinity1776 845 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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

Been around quite awhile now :D. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chic Aeon 15,646 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (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. Edited June 19 by Chic Aeon oops 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nika Talaj 5,678 Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 /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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xViXeNx71 72 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
