They think being in business 20 yrs is a milestone - so SLB celebrates that each year. I don't think we're getting any other milestones.

Then, if nothing else, I hope you are surprised by being wrong - even if they "milestone" turns out to be a disappointment. I assume it's not "just" SL20B, since we all knew about that and Patch's phrasing hinted at more.  It could just be some special big # of users since the start, total # houses build, etc. 

I guess we'll find out!

"Milestone" is one of those "squishy" words, to me it only implies "recognition" of something, not necessarily a new accomplishment we weren't already privy to.

You laugh .. but they got legs, and not just any legs, legs that can jump. That is an insanely crazy big deal and everyone just shrugs.

I actually figured that they were finally going to release the 2048 sqm Linden Homes -- to be unveiled at the SL20 Birthday Bash.

Just to feed the rumors:
According to normally well informed circles, it will be a ranch theme.

Nux sounds a bit like the Dutch word niks. 
Niks means nothing.

That's about the amount of time I'm gonna  spend on being excited about whatever the heck it is that they are trying to make us excited about..

I really don't do anticipation or hold my breath in excitement anymore when it comes to companies trying to keep me in suspense.. It's been over done so much that that grind stone doesn't grind anymore..

Wait and see what we got coming you guys!!..

Tell ya what, just let me know when it's here, I have better things to do.. hehehe

Here is the thing that irritates the Hell out of me..

When they don't know when something is coming, they'll tell you all about what's coming..

When they know when something is coming.. It's super secret time, but it's really really great, but juss can't tell ya whut it is! \o/

Hey kids It's time for Blues Clues!

Maybe it was a typo, and we're just getting a new millstone to carry around?

No. I think it means Linden Lab is cooking up a really, really big pot of soup. It will be a significant minestrone.

I had to smile at the "compact company" text :D.   While it LIKELY just meant SL20B (plots opened for building today and since I had prebuilt I am mostly done).   BUT I am HOPING that the 2048 Belli homes will be unveiled along with the new avatars.  

 

Fingers crossed.
