  1. For me, renting on a private island is like living in a little prison. I need the feeling of being connected to a wider world, I hate being surrounded by unsailable void in all directions. So I am either on regular mainland or Bellisseria, and I tend to switch between them every few months or so. I like mainland for the freedom to use my own houses, I like Bellisseria for the extra land capacity (the house itself doesn't count towards your 351 so you're effectively getting a LI bonus). When I buy mainland, I buy cheap, then I don't feel bad when I change my mind and abandon (though I did sell my last one for a small profit, which was nice). I was very lucky a week or so ago to find a nice parcel of mainland for just L$500 (under L$0.5 per sq.m) and aside from one neighbour with a large castle, which I have derendered, it's a pretty nice area. I am tempted to ask for some abandoned land to link my parcel to the road but that's going to raise my tier and I'm not sure it's worth it.
  2. *facepalm* that's what I forgot.
  3. Definitely recommend Jake now, it's leapfrogged to the top of the list and Gianni is now doomed to death, IMO.
  4. I tried it out and my fear is confirmed; removing parts from the body make the entire hud useless as it no longer recognises the body as valid. Which means I am gonna have to repeat the whole process and save a separate body (or at least separate hands) for every nail polish that I want to use, and I am also going to need to buy a third party bento hand animator. Nope right out of that.
  5. I think maybe Tricky does the bodies and Shyla does the skins (or some of them)
  6. My concern with doing this is that it will disable use of the HUD. I don't mind losing the ability to use the alpha sections, and feet height I can wear separately as you suggested, but what about other things on the hud like hand position (which I find I still have to re-set every time I log in), nail texture & nipple texture (yes I could mod them for tint, but I don't have access to the textures). Does removing all the unwanted pieces disable those features too or is it only hiding alpha sections that is lost?
  7. My original Jake body was 2017 and yes I got a redelivery. But there are 2 Belleza sellers and 2 redelivery terminals in the store. Did you check them both?
  8. I currently have only my Belliseria home but I have some lovely houses in my inventory that I'd like to use and I'm itching for more mainland again, so I may raise my tier again soon.
  9. There should be a small rez zone every couple of regions in roads, rather like there is one in the corner of every region in the Blake Sea. Lack of rez zones is the only reason I don't explore mainland by road (except when I hop into a pod)
  10. Yes, except for the last bolded part. Anything you create from scratch (with prims you rez inworld, mesh you make in Blender and textures you make in Photoshop), which is a creation purely out of your own imagination and does not look like any character from a movie, comic etc, or a real-life brand of car etc, can be freely sold and you retain the copyright to those. Combining other avatars... if the pieces of those avatars are made by someone else, then the copyright for those pieces still belongs with the original creator. If they are full perm, they may be licensed for resale - read the documentation and the terms of sale for that particular piece. You may be allowed to sell avatars made form those pieces, or you may not. - it depends what is licensed by the creator of the piece.
  11. Actually you're partially (or completely) right, the body is not properly set up out of the box. It should be masked as default, with the option to toggle to blend or none.
  12. This one was mine and I believe it was the first, I expect that's why. They haven't quite merged them all though, there's still another by @Anna Nova which started just a couple of minutes after mine.
  13. Reminds me of the olden days when they'd update the entire grid at once by taking the whole thing offline for (if we were lucky) 2-3 hours every Wednesday. Then every Thursday there would be loads of problems, and then everything would be offline again all day Friday, while they tried to fix what they broke.
  14. Yes, it's affecting everybody, apparently. I'm not aware of a single person who's been able to log in since 2 hours ago.
  15. OMG it's all my fault, I should've known that renaming an inventory folder is just too much.
  16. There's no need for this. The hud for all 4 of the new bodies has a button on the hud to switch between Alpha Blend, Alpha Masked and None. Its set to None by default (same as the old body) but if you click where it says None - next to BOM (can't get a screenshot cos I can't log in atm) it toggles beteween the three modes. No need to do any of this complicated stuff.
  17. I think the asset servers borked again. I tried to rename a folder and it wouldn't let me, so I decided to relog and now I can't get back in.
  18. Anyone having trouble logging in? I'm getting the "something unexpected went wrong, check the status page" but of course the status page says that everything is operational. Want to check if it's just me or not. ETA - I'm suspecting Inventory Asset Servers, because the reason I logged out to begin with was because I was mysteriously unable to re-name folders in my inventory.
  19. Yes this makes me sad, and the cynical part of me is telling me that it's only because of Erika that Belleza have finally released a proper update. On the other hand, this did make me squee so hard and I've gone out and bought Freya. After brielfly playing with it for a little while, I like it a lot, certainly much more than Hourglass. I think Erika is still my #1 but Freya makes #2 MUCH better.
  20. I get far more positive comments about my appearance when I'm a blue horse, but only when I'm amongst non-furries. Compared to other furries, my avatar is uninteresting but amongst humans it's striking and unusual. I get noticed, and people of all types will give me compliments. When I'm human it's less frequent, I guess because I'm less unusual. Since I've switched to the Erika body and a curvier (fatter!) shape, it's surprised me that I haven't had any negative comments, people telling me that I should be slimmer.
