I bit the bullet and purchased the Premium Plus pkg for the year. I gave up my stilt home (which I loved) and Started my search for a much anticipated Ranch home only to find out there are none available ...Zero! Am I upset about this, well yes I am. *sighs* I decided to make one of my alts Premium Plus, too, and then much to my dismay have not seen any Ranches available. I decided to pick a primo Houseboat location that had been in maintenance for 10 days. I’m still on the lookout for a Ranch. Good luck on landing one! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you can read or work in another window, and have the refresher do the job for you. Set it to 2 minutes, it is a limit to how many times you can refresh. The refresher will be stopped if the page is refreshed too often. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember refreshing the page like a mad woman and making a family of alts. I've calmed down considerably. I only have a houseboat and a Trad right now. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 This thread reminds me..I'm used to people in RL often saying, "Back at the ranch".. ..meanwhile, they don't have a ranch, or even know anyone with a ranch. It's just an expression! My mother said it a lot. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is of course a reference to old western TV shows such as Bonanza, which might use that caption when switching back to a scene at the ranch house. I think Batman, may have done something similar when switching scenes. Subtle transitions on TV shows weren't much of an expectation back in the 1960's and 1970's.

I finally Googled it, looks like it goes back to Silent Movie subtitles! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meanwhile,_back_at_the_ranch The expression originated as a stock subtitle in the silent movies[1] and at first the reference to the ranch was literal.[2][3] Edited October 20, 2023 by Love Zhaoying Sorry for the "rich text" pasting, it helped preserve the reference links. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now @Alexandria Vezina needs to land one. It was purely happenstance that I looked on the land page and wasn’t sure if I really saw a ranch available. I quickly upgraded an alt and held my breath. Surely someone else would have snagged it before I could upgrade. Not a primo spot, but I can live with it. Maybe the Lindens and Moles will give us more 2048s for Christmas. 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandria Vezina Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I got my ranch home! I nearly started hyperventilating when I saw the word available on the home store page 🤣 I was very happy, and the location is okay. I can't wait to set up my horses. I just wanted to thank everyone that sent out good vibes and for letting me rant ♥ 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teresa Firelight Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I cant believe how fast these ranch homes keep selling out. On Nov 9, they released 192 homes.. .gone in less than a week. Then then released another 180 homes on the 17th... and those were also sold out about 10 days later. That works out to 372 ranch homes claimed in less than 3 weeks .. and each of them requires an expensive Premium Plus account. These ranch homes sure are popular! It continues to amaze me just how fast they sell out. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Me, too, Teresa. It looks to me like the buildout of the next theme is pretty much done, perhaps even all QA'd. But I don't see any new hints or mention of a reveal at the Expo ... I suppose it could be that LL has decided to ride this ranch pony until it slows up on its own! Or possibly the problems with the fantasy home controllers etc. will cause a delay until after the holidays. Sometimes I wonder if Dyna, Quartz et al could use more scripting help. I mean, I script, I worked as a software contractor for years, I could use a little income, neh? Sure! ..... Then I remember all the blathering I've done here and think that probably neither Abnor nor Patch would hire me to make popcorn, let alone code. 👼 D'oh! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
