  1. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be anything new. Certain groups seem to have always been favored by LL and given opportunities that the "regular" residents do not have a chance at. Often, we do not even know things like this are happening as it "seems" to be kept quiet. I'm not disputing the fact that certain groups have done some good things for SL. However, the favoritism seemingly shown to some of these groups leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.
  2. Define "Correct" The information in my post is directly from the SL website. You can interpret it any way you want. But the information is right on the website very clearly stated.
  3. I'm confused - here is the description of the Premium Plus membership from the Second Life website. I do not see anything listed that is not available to anyone. Premium Plus gets you: L$650 Weekly stipend to use any way you like (approx. $11 cash value every month) Up to 2,048 m² of mainland for zero monthly land fees (approx. $13 cash value every month) L$3,000 Signup bonus (approx. $12 cash value) 140 groups Join up to 140 groups Free uploads of sounds, textures and animations Create groups for L$10 Host up to 2 Land Experiences Up to 160 stored instant messages Create recurring Events for free Concierge phone support Choose your Linden Home concierge service Then it states also that All Premium members also enjoy A free Linden Home of your choice Nowhere in that description does it promise one of the new 2048 Linden homes. So, in reality, there is no Scam happening. It is carefully worded and pretty clear.
  4. Does anyone know if the remaining themes will only be for Premium Plus (2048) ? or will there still be more themes for us Regular Premium members ? Just curious.
  5. Currently have 5 - Houseboat, Log, Camper, Victorian, and Traditional. Love being able to decorate all the different styles. At one point or another I have had each type of home currently available. Keep coming back to these five styles.
  6. I as under the impression that the next theme would come with the option of larger lots, but still be available as 1024. Similar to the Newbrookes and Sakuras. I may be wrong, but that was the impression I got from all the information given. I feel like creating an entire theme that excludes "regular" premium members would be a mistake on the part of LL. I could be totally wrong about my assumptions though.
  7. Hello Frigga, I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for all the posts you make about your discoveries. I always see great things that I need to have for my homes. I, and many others I am sure, really appreciate the time and effort you put into making these posts. Thank You
  8. I am wondering if LL will offer different heads to work with the body or just a basic head that is adjustable via the sliders. My choice would be to have different heads available so it would probably be easier to achieve the look you want.
  9. The other thread was locked while I was trying to post - so I will try to put my thoughts here. My biggest disappointment with the Plus membership is the way that the Stipend increase is being handled for us older accounts with grandfathered stipends. While other members are getting more than double the stipend for switching to Plus, I would end up getting about 30% increase and be paying more than twice a year than I am for my regular premium account. I can't work out how this would make financial sense in my situation. If I was a creator that did a lot of uploading on a regular basis, then I could see it may be worth the increase. If I needed 140 groups ... maybe, but I have enough trouble keeping track of 70. For me, I would be better off financially with another Premium Alt.
  10. I have searched the marketplace with no success. Does anyone know if there are any interior wall shells made for the Victoria's? I am looking for one for the Shelley house. I am wondering if they are just to complex with the turrets and bay windows.
  11. I hope this works. My first try at a 360 photo. This is the main room of my Coniston home. I don't know if it is supposed to move - or just look like that. No idea if the forums support the 360 photos. ok - Just uploaded to Flickr and it actually works there the way I thought it would. 360 Photo in Flickr
  12. Here are some pics of my Heaton so far. I have some trouble taking photos inside a structure, so I hope they came out ok.
  13. Second Life is ultimately a world governed by Linden Lab - so, their decisions are something we need to accept. I have not really taken part in this Candy Hunt - I have walked around a few of the regions where I live and collected a handful of candies, but that's about it. And, I have seen many very nicely decorated homes and enjoyed it. My opinion (probably unpopular) is that there does not need to be rewards for an event like this. Maybe a participation gift for anyone that participates. The real problem with having "winners" is that there have to be "losers" also. If the goal of an event like this is to get the community together and have fun, then "prizes" are not necessary.
  14. Just to clarify - I have been in SL for over 17 years. So, No ... not new by any means. But thanks for asking.
  15. Just my view on this whole thing ... I think that LL was trying to do something fun (although the marketing angle is definitely there). However, all the arguing and disagreeing about the whole thing has soured me. Somehow people have turned this into a "how many AR's can I file" or "how many bans can I get" or the ever present complaining and whining about security systems. It is amazing how some people can just suck the fun out of anything. I hade five pumpkins rezzed on my properties for people to find but finally deleted them all. I just did not want to be any part of this whole thing. I think I have "1" pumpkin on my HUD, and that was just testing an Alt's pumpkin. So - just my two cents - not sure why people can't just have fun and enjoy themselves.
  16. So ... this could be the beginning of a very dangerous and slippery slope. Where does this type of thinking stop? Do we limit everything we can place outside our linden homes (lights, cars, boats, other decor) and then what about what's inside the home? Do we limit the furniture to only certain brands or types so they "fit in whit the theme" ? This all reminds me of the "Stepford Village" and would definitely not be someplace I would want to call home. Why not just take the next step and let the Lindens/Moles do ALL the decorating (outside and inside) so that everything would be in theme and not upset anyone. (Being sarcastic in case that isn't coming through clearly). One of my favorite things about walking/driving/flying around Bellisseria is seeing the uniqueness and creativity of its residents.
  17. My First home in Bellisseria is my Houseboat. I have had it since the day Bellisserria opened (4/15/19). It was my first try and I was very lucky to get it. I have other home with my Alts, but have held onto this houseboat and will continue to do so. Why I love it -- it's in an awesome location - at the end of a row of houseboats, it's a square lot, has amazing views and LOTS of water around it.
  18. hmmm ... that's interesting. The one in my set is definitely the older version. Maybe I should try a redelivery. But, either way, I love all the Muniick stuff and don't mind spending the L$25. You do have to be aware that they do re-release things sometimes with new animations or colors -- I will have to be more aware and keep that in mind.
  19. Good info - but the newer (v2) has color change built-in. The one that comes with the complete kitchen is just white. Not a big deal, but nice to be able to change the color and match the other Muniick kitchen accessories.
  20. That is strange - when I unpacked I ended up with two notecards ... the "READ ME" and a "TEXTURE CHANGING INSTRUCTIONS". I can send you the notecards in world if you would like them.
  21. I thought that the texture changing wasn't working - but then I read the directions. There are some notes on where to click to change just about everything. I'm not sure if this will help, but it helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. From the notecard: ===== TEXTURE CHANGING ===== The smaller cabinets and shelves are all controlled by one menu, while the tall pantry, tall refrigerator cabinet, and the island have their own touch menus. For the smaller cabinets and shelves, the SINK CABINET is your controller. this must be rezzed to control the other small cabinets and shelves. CLICK ON THE COUNTERTOP of the sink cabinet to bring up the menu. (This menu can only be accessed by owner) For Tall Pantry, Tall Refrigerator Cabinet, and the Island, click anywhere on the wood to bring up their texture menus. The Chandelier also has texture menu, includes the same 4 wood tones with the cabinet. Click the wood cylinder part of the frame for the menu.
  22. My first Bellisseria home was on Release day - a Houseboat in Wavebreak. Was my first try at getting a home here and I am still there.
