Baiphen Quintessa Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 To those who have put in the tickets for the house request. How exactly did that work? I mean, was it literally a house you found through wandering? Did you have to have a specific coordinate? I read the FAQ but my brain is fuzzy on this perk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadziyah Nova Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) So for anyone who is curious about the timing: I submitted my ticket request for an assigned LH at around 1:40 pm SLT today. I got a simple response that it was all set up just shortly past 6pm SLT. So just over 4 and a half hours 👍 1 hour ago, Baiphen Quintessa said: To those who have put in the tickets for the house request. How exactly did that work?

I personally had been looking for a continent edge location of a specific theme. I looked around by "wandering"- just clicking on the world map and seeing if parcels were available. Highly agree it'd be nice to have a "Claim" button on there. Anyways I found a whole region that was released but not a single one claimed. Copied the coords of my fave spot and submitted it in the ticket 👍 Edited June 24, 2022 by Jadziyah Nova Correct timezones 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, was it literally a house you found through wandering? Did you have to have a specific coordinate? I read the FAQ but my brain is fuzzy on this perk. I put in two requests for two different avatars I upgraded today. I also added a 2nd alternative incase the first was taken. You may wanna go as far as a third alternative as well. You basically just put in a URL of a house you fancy that is ''linden home'' and then they process it by putting your name on it you get a thank you and say your home is ready. you then can go stand on your parcel which is in your name already. I made sure I added 2nd url's as a back up so they didn't have to keep coming back to me. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malayaa Morningstar Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I put in a request for a Sakura Home, and it was already requested/taken, so did some exploring, found some amazing coastal fantasy homes on the north coast of Sunshiny Day, then went looking at chalets and finally revised the ticket for a chalet on Salto Dellamante with a nice view of the railroad and a train station where you can rez trains, the waterway, and a lot of really pretty landscaping...and got an email that said it was all set! Very easy... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I renewed my Premium, how much would I pay for an upgrade to Plus? Would it be a fixed amount? Or in %? If it was better information, it might have been the deciding factor for me to renew. I set my account back to Basic instead. I would not say that I regret it, but maybe LL should, since I found out that all the Premium perks was easy to live without. The groups was mostly rubbish that I paid 10 L for to join for a single gift, and nothing of interest later. I find sandboxes that are okay even if it's not for Premium. The stipend does not make a noticeable reduction in the amount of Lindens I buy. The rest of themes not released in Bellisseria may bump me back in ordinary Premium to enjoy them, but now I am not feeling it.

Teresa Firelight Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 I thought that I heard that you get more tries on the land page for PP alts. Is that true or is it just a rumor? if it is true, how many do you get? (or has no one tested it cuz they are all busy requestign specific homes)?

EmmaAsht0n Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) It's not a rumor but one of many possible perks which were discussed by LL but haven't been implemented yet.

Rufferta Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Just a warning on asking for a particular Linden home after moving to Premium Plus - last night I found the perfect parcel and sent in a request - this morning I got a message that the coordinates I had given them were "on the road" and I went back to check and someone else had claimed the parcel just a few hours ago. Make sure that you are in the middle of the parcel when you put in the coordinates, not on the sidewalk in front of it. Putting in the parcel designation doesn't seem to matter. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you had three months to go on premium, you pay the extra to make those three months into plus. Then you'd pay for the premium plus as usual when your renewal date comes around. I wouldn't have upgraded this early if that system hadn't been in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Evergarden Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) I tried to submit a ticket to try and choose a home but for the issue type there is only the option of account issue.

Kathlen Onyx Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) So I imagine we will get a lot of people upgrading for a month now to to get their perfect LH and then canceling...leaving the others for those that don't upgrade.

Awesome.... I would be in the perfect position for this.... I pay yearly and my renewal is a month from now.... the prorated upgrade was only like $20..... But.... I plan to roll the dice and let it renew for the year. If it seems it's not for me I will downgrade back to regular premium at the next renewal.

Awesome.... That is an interesting take. To go from Premium to Basic, you lose your Linden home. So can you go from PPlus to Premium and keep it? I could not see that question in the FAQ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be a fixed amount? Or in %? First, since they are not 'extending' out the Premium renewal date when you upgrade, they then have to calculate how much the Premium Plus is for the number of days until your current subscription renewal. The Premium Plus is roughly $0.68 per day. Multiple the number of days remaining in your current subscription by $0.68 and that is the amount the Premium Plus would cost you for the days until your normal renewal date. Then they calculate the credit due for your current subscription. Regular Premium is approx. $0.27 US per day. So they take the number of days that you have left in you current Premium subscription and multiple that by $0.27 --- that is the credit that you get. For simplicity, say there are 10 days left on the current Premium subscription. So Premium Plus for 10 days would be $6.80. The credit for the Premium that you have already paid for would be $2.70. So they would charge you $4.10 today and then in 10 days when the current subscription runs out, they would charge the $249 for a year renewal.

Awesome.... I view this as an exploit of Plus, and I think LL (perhaps @Dottie Linden ?) should clarify whether it is possible. If so, I think it should be JIRA'd as a bug. Certainly once 2048 parcels are available, it would be easy for them to insist that folks abandon their 2048 before downgrading to Premium from Plus. I think that it would be fairest if LL also tracked how each home was claimed, and required that any home claimed via Plus ticket be abandoned before downgrading. Otherwise, you could go to Plus for 2 months shortly before a year of Premium expires, get your bonus, get a great home, and downgrade with very little spent. Of course Plus members who need to downgrade may be very sad to lose their home ... but otherwise I think many folks will use Plus this way. That said, I think claiming homes via ticket is a nice feature, and I hope some of the people who have been saddened by not having the time or resources to play GOH successfully finally get the home of their dreams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome.... Cheap way to change your name as well. I've got an alt on premium and I can upgrade for 6 bucks for the rest of the month until renewal then change my name for 15.00 and downgrade again. They probably should of thought a couple of these things out better. Edited June 24, 2022 by Aria Aurelia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polenth Yue Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 One thing to keep in mind is not to fall for the GoH mindset. That is the idea that a new house is automatically better. Therefore, once that house is not new any more, it's not worth having. A house that someone just abandoned could be your dream house. Some of the ones people are claiming by ticket aren't houses that you'll ever want. The ticket system won't mean that there are no good houses left. Also, I fully expect people to be abandoning houses they've claimed via ticket as soon as the next new thing comes along. People who switch houses multiple times a week are very unlikely to settle. The interesting thing will be what the system does with the houses. I wonder if the regions we're in will start to fill up now that someone has a house claimed there. Will the autoassigner kick in or not when a house gets abandoned? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other homes were claimed via the page it seems because I had a friend who filed a ticket to get a home next to mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes Avon Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 When you are claiming a home via the ticket system with PP, you are paying for the ticket system and not for the house. You shouldn't have to abandon it if you downgrade to regular premium just like you do not lose your paid name change if you downgrade out of premium altogether. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
