  1. I'll try to be less ho-hum next time and say something like, oh the houses are done, the regions are not. Better? 😜
  2. This is the embodiment of the choices we made in creating the theme the way we did. Amazing and extremely well done.
  3. Psssst! Don't tell them, the numbers are off (but not by far!). As of this moment there are 15,114 first gen Linden Homes occupied out of 41,730. 1) For all the reasons. The web code that drives them is ancient, as old as they are and probably being run on an emulated ColecoVision - not scalable. The build technique employed in making them and their features is outdated. We have sufficiently attrited the resources used within the themes and cannot update them - there is no update system built into them (a key component of the new homes ie. new floorplans anyone?). The web services that drive them are deprecated out of existence. Survey data tells us repeatedly that they were and continue to be overcrowded, lacking in options and overdue for an update. 2) Because we need to replace the old homes with modernized homes using the latest content production techniques and iterate on new web services that are cloud based/friendly and native. Eliminate all the issues described in #1 and more. They already are slowly dying a natural death. We still pay for all the empty space the unoccupied homes maintain. At some point I will determine it is untenable to maintain that cost going forward. That point is approaching.
  4. I don't want anyone regretting or harboring remorse for having made a decision to sign up for Premium Plus. If for any reason you do not feel you are getting the value out of the subscription, please contact support for a solution to your situation.
  5. The thing everyone needs to keep in perspective is, empty homes/regions is not a sign of unpopularity. We did big launches on those particular themes to propel INVENTORY. When we pull the plug on the V1 Linden Homes, which is still coming and going to happen, we will need the home inventory to accommodate for the people who will eventually be displaced from those homes.
  6. We see and hear your feedback. It is impossible for us to react or answer all of it.
  7. Residents all over the grid.. Join hands… on the Love Train, the Love Train! On Tuesday, February 14 starting at 12pm SLT, join us on the Love Train! The Moles will be running trolleys all along the Eastern Loop of the Bellisseria Railway. The primary departure point is Muehlenbach Station, but residents can hop on from any station as the trolleys go by. The trolleys will run in both directions along the route, stopping in Allrutti Station just outside of Newbank for residents to disembark. Collect your map of the route and the landmarks from one of the kiosks in-world. At the end of the ride and a short walk to Newbank, take the teleport to Isle of View and join us for the Hug & Dunk a Linden event. Anyone who wishes to rez their own train for the trip is also welcome to do so. If they do, we only ask they follow a few guidelines if they decorate their train: Please keep it within the General maturity rating only. No political signs or themes. Please keep all decorations in a Valentine’s theme.
  8. Hello everyone! This post, like others has been locked for going so far off the rails of the topic that I think was originally intended to be discussed, and the outward accusatory, defamatory tones and attacks towards others, while still a thinly veiled attempt to discuss the matters behind the other locked topics is no longer going to be tolerated on our forums. That said, I am in direct contact with the creators behind the Bonniebots and I have consulted our legal teams and a GDPR specialist, to give me a full understanding of the situation at hand. Out of respect for all concerned in the matter, I turn your attention to reviewing the policy at stake, and understand that we will enforce this policy: Information You Provide when Using our Services. Please note that our Services may offer chat functions (either one-to-one or within a limited group) or other forms of communication services (such as real time voice communication either one-to-one or within a limited group), forums, community environments (including multiplayer gameplay) or other tools that are either restricted to other account holders or Services users or that do not have a restricted audience and can be accessible by anyone. Any information, content or communications, including personal information, you provide when you use any of these features will be available to the recipients (dependent on the nature of the tool) and may be publicly posted and otherwise disclosed without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party. While we endeavour at all times to protect the privacy of our users and to ensure no harm is caused through our Services, given the nature of the tools, we have no obligation to keep private any information you made available to other users or the public using these functions. I feel that I will be able to attain an ammicable and suitable solution to all soon, while preserving the spirit of the policy and allowing open exploration of Second Life to continue on a healthy trajectory. Non-playable characters, "bots" and other automated means of roaming the grid are not prohibited in general at this time.
  9. Just a quick update, I've been in contact with Dollen and others. We will find a way to ensure the preservation of her legacy in Second Life together that both abides by her wishes and celebrates her contributions. None of the associated land holdings and locations are at any risk of being removed until we decide a path forward.
  10. I would be absolutely supportive of that and I will explore if there is a way to preserve it and a memorial for her.
  11. I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Palomma Casanova. My first reaction was to think through how to save the legacy she left behind, however this does seem to be in conflict with her wishes. We will do whatever is respectfully necessary to move forward and offer any assistance where we can.
  12. I can confirm and deny nothing at the same time within this post, picture and elbow.
  13. Sorry I've been scarce for a bit. I came down with some dreadful version of RSV, started to get better and then got hit with a really bad sinus infection. Long story short, my holidays were spent on death's bed, enough so I didn't even post my usual round of holiday pictures. They would be a bit untimely now to post to Flickr I suppose. Is a shame, you never know what might have turned up in them beyond the elbow and puffer jacket picture.
  14. Hello Bellisseria and welcome to December where it is hot and sunny somewhere, like in Florida! Hot on the heels of our update of the Traditional homes comes an all new update to our popular Houseboat theme with FOUR NEW HOUSE STYLES! These are not new versions of the existing houseboats, but four all new styles of houseboats taking many of their architectural cues from the Stilt theme with brighter colors while still keeping an open interior feel our houseboats have long been known for. These homes also have the added feature of having the Linden Homes security system sent directly to you from the house controller menu as well as the custom interior wall tinting upgrade. But that’s not all!! We are ALSO adding special house number signs to the content packs for Houseboats, Trailers, and Log Homes. Just rez them out and place them around your doorway for your own home house numbers! Update features: Four brand new Houseboat designs to choose from. New house models upgraded with a custom tinting system, controlled via the house control panel. House controllers have now been updated to use common communications protocols with the rezzer and with houses on the parcels with which they are associated, so that all themes (except Fantasy) may safely be mixed and matched. Houseboat Controllers now have four new menu items for the new houses. Now all House Controllers give details of the theme, name of last house rezzed and parcel center in their description field. House number signs added to content packs for Houseboats, Log Homes, and Trailers.
  15. Hello! Who's ready for some hoverboard action? We are excited to announce the long awaited update to the Traditional houses is finally here! As we roll this update out over Bellisseria, residents with Traditional homes will notice new options and features. Each of the 4 original home styles will have an open plan version selectable from the mailbox house controller menu. Not only that, but ALL of the traditional homes will now have a custom color tinting system for interior walls similar to other themes. As an extra bonus, the house controller has an option for having the Linden Homes security system sent directly to you rather than being part of the content pack. A lot of work went into this upgrade and this is the first time we have tried updating an entire theme of released regions. Please be patient if you don’t see the changes in your region right away. You will first notice the update in the mailbox menu. To update your house you will need to rerez the house on your parcel. But that’s not all!! We are adding special house number signs to the content pack. Just rez them out and place them around your doorway for your own house number! We are ALSO debuting a revamped Chippewa Junction as our Traditional themed Community Region. Located on the main hub of the Bellisseria Railroad, Chippewa Junction Town Hall features reservable spaces for conferences, meetings, garden parties and even weddings! To book a venue space for your event, or for more info, please contact Mischievious Mole. Reservation form: https://second.life/TraditionalWeddingVenueReservation Update Features: A brand new traditional community region featuring usable wedding, party, meeting and conference spaces. New open plan designs for each Traditional home. Original and new open plan house models upgraded with a custom tinting system, controlled via the house control panel. House Controllers now have an additional menu item for the Security Orb, so residents can have that delivered individually rather than as part of the Content Creation Pack. Traditional House Controllers now have four new menu items for the new houses in each theme. Now all House Controllers give details of the theme, name of last house rezzed and parcel centre in their description field. House number sign addition to the content pack.
  16. For sake of clarity, Premium Plus members will have the ability to purchase up to ONE Homestead on their account. The set-up fee to acquire one, and regular monthly maintenance do apply.
  17. Sitting here on Starlink -right now- and in Second Life....
