  1. Wish the themed houses were sourced from one off historical builds versus tract house or theme park versions [those tourist town german ]. Not sure what posting rules are but look up the old Michael Douglas estate in Montecito "La Quinta." [He's long gone from there ]. That's the real deal. Many versions of the house on line . Hope the LH floor plans get a redo with the front doors and staircases so close together , not up to code, if you fell down the stairs you'd crash through the glass . And difficult to enter the Casas with such a narrow space .
  2. PBR= peanut butter raisin ? since SL is an older crowd? Between the "big bones" massage person , and the Beebo-ish lookalike I'm confused about the new look. Plus what's with all the furries in the ads-- .....and disco---- is the world hungering to wag a wolf tail & do Disco Duck in a Contraption waistcoat ?
  3. When you go somewhere in RL and it looks crowded and you tell your companion-- pan inside-- how long's the line? So, just checking for alphas under short skirts .....?
  4. Anyone dug through the small print-- if you enter the drawing - is your RL info and SL name(s) [ can alts enter?] now uncontrolled out in the wild?
  5. When the current investors want out, which is what investors do- what's left to sell? Considering that most avatars are over, well over 1000 days old --usually around 3000+ whenever I go to a crowded place--if they sell lifetime premium memberships for a quick cash bump-- they will have a liability on the books and any future owner of LL will see the expense of running the place with no upside since those who could buy probably upgraded already - so why buy LL --why, or rather HOW to stay open? The land model is slowly phasing down --and if they get all the membership bucks booked this year how do the lights stay on in the future -- I hope I'm wrong but this was a worrisome thing to just toss out .
  6. I prefer to dine where they comp the meal and say "Sorry" when I find a hair in my food -- rather than surcharge me for the special experience.
  7. I have to think it is ageist or size-ist or handicap-ist ---- why not advertise where us couch potatoes are plopped? I wonder if it isn't the bias of Lab employees who want a "modern fresh forward looking"resume -- are they avoiding snickers -- "oh you work where the old **r*s fly and wear mini-skirts and dance to Best of the 80's--haha "? The general population is aging, more money is with the older folks than the college loan burdened , no house down payment, lives with Mom and her partner and never a hope for a pension yielding career younger client yet they are chased. If I did marketing for the Lab I'd be offering RL College Reunion programs -- attendance at Reunions drops like crazy with age --yet the older folks more likely to drop a RL bundle on the school for naming a bench or whatever--- be so easy to have dedicated regions that could be spun up -- for listen in reunion classes that are happening on RL campus , have a SL dance , library settings to talk etc. Then the attendees could be offered a rest of grid ready to go avatar with a new name they choose - if they wanted to leave the region and explore the rest of SL. Colleges happy- more face time with alumni, alumni happy they are included and avoided travel and its costs and SL has a fresh crop of potential residents with a built in friend list. And moneyyyyyy.... And you know the Moles could whip up mini-Stanford or Yale -ish campuses that could be stored away . Anyway , hope they bring in new folks because the average age where I hang is around 4000 days and a "kid" is 1000 ---
  8. I've never understood the Lindex, if I place an order to buy at 350L per USD -- would it ever fill automatically if I waited for months, years .... or would I have to wait until someone [goofed] and placed an order to offer at 350L?
  9. Is there a master map of the Linden home regions color coded by type ?
  10. The Free Dove store was unique because it was ~actively~ managed with taste and love. Memories of the person will never end for those touched by their life force and the gift of their efforts. Linden keeps some locations after the RL person(s) have shuffled off this mortal coil and from my travels around the Grid-- it is the landscaped locations that continue to attract and stay relevant. Places with stores are tough --totally in love with Mont Saint-Michel, what an amazing build, so deserving of staying on the Grid BUT it has little shops left untended and many are from avatars long gone themselves etc. Vendors that don't work .... If Linden wants to be breathtaking creative having these empty shops managed and curated to be top notch freebies that would be awesome. To protect the region , have only a Mole rez when the inventory changes, like a quarterly refresh or what ever works. Creators, like now with shop&hops, would submit their app. Increasing the chance of new people meeting people enhances their desire to go through the massively steep learning curve and to stay and wander in a lovely place makes it more likely. The long gone but missed Gnubie Store https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/The_Gnubie_Store was a great example of curated freebies. RIP Palomma
  11. If you ever bought anything from these stores you can sort your inventory by date in the FS viewer -- so if you think it was within a couple of years when you joined SL etc try that date sort .
  12. Next for wish list , have a way for PP members with a homestead to pay by week/month when we spin them up-- would bring back seasonal folks and the education market. Lazy richie richs can have pre -decorated seasonal homesteads. The off seasons are just dormant code and only pop on the grid on paid request. If the PP stops being funded ,after a while --say 60/90 days the program brings the region(s) back up, returns the items and buh-bye. Same ending to the region as now but a reason to keep PP funded , sell more homesteads and cement SL as a home base. Would there be a cost to Linden after the coding for there to be dormant regions aside from an assigned berth on the map? Seems to me it would be revenue for them and flexibility for us.
  13. I needed a calling card to find an old friend who bought a new name. No calling card, they wouldn't have been reachable. I had pruned my friends list when I left for a while. So if I understand the new system , no calling card when you friend means when a surprise name pops on your friends list you have no way to figure out who they are[were] and with new names 15 bucks with PP, people will just disappear. Who wins - people can keep their inventory , who loses - long time friendships. Memories. I'm alone in the moonlight .....
  14. Whoa I thought it was $249 total not premium and an extra $249 on top of $99 regular premium , no way-- for $348 dollars I can buy a tank of gas. OK 3/4 tank .... We don't get all the group notices now , group chat acts up-- with 140 groups? And with PP people now making new ones for 10L all over the place? Kinda bummed . Not a toy I want to play with.
  15. Premium Peon is for noob guys, you get Lindens in 20L chunks to tip, and impress, the DJ's and a nice prim cube containing your very first barely scripted freennie. Also includes a tuxedo, the legs require an alpha that they never wear , cuz that's the way they roll.
