[If you have more than one home ..]

There was no passive aggressiveness in my previous statement. It is not greedy to have two or more premium alts each with a new Linden Home. If it makes you feel better, replace "it would be nice" with "it would be an act of generosity far above and beyond what is expected". That is all I meant when I asked people to simply entertain the thought of abandoning one as an act of kindness and generosity to their fellow residents.

I assume the Lab legal  ok'd this statement? I'm sorry if someone  PAID for a level of benefits and then the company says 'be nice, give us the money but don't use the benefits" it is kind of implying the INTENT was never to supply enough homes.  I didn't realize there was a list of "beyond what is expected."   What behavior  is "expected"? 

I *don't* believe that  the Lab had "bad" intent , I see the empty regions waiting but statements like this do not help, in my opinion.

And setting residents against each other is NOT community building. (Neither is the parcel sniffing pack of people , google doc-ing number of prims and parcel traffic--get a LIFE)

As I said in another thread, yes I believe it is time for "kindness and generosity "--and it should come from the Lab. If someone bought premium when the new homes were announced , did not get one OR USE ANY LAND BENEFITS , they could get a  premium credit until Linden releases a LARGE number of new homes. No cash back, just membership time extension. Don't even pay the the extra stipend, just give them the extra time to snag a new home. Who loses with this?

 

 

 

 

[Why LL don't speak that New Homes it's only for some regions or some countries?]

Think of these 2 releases as a beta, Patch said they were small releases. Long term they need to build new homes/boats to replace ALL those circa 2010 Linden homes so we'll be drowning in these houses "soon".

But I do think that new premium members who signed up from the announcement until a regular size release, whatever that is, get extra month(s )of membership  ** if **  they didn't use any land benefits .

Like if a major delivery website blows the guaranteed date, you can request an extra month membership.

That would be a "good will gesture."

 

[New style homes]

The sidewalks just killed Horizons for me. You can avoid the houses but can't get away from those shiny white eyesores.

[New style homes]

For Patch and team-- I hope when the next style of Linden homes are introduced they will be loaded into the mailboxes--and not require a parcel  abandon /move.

The landscaping and design of the parcels are so unique it would be hard to give up the neighborhood, friends  and views we've gotten so fond of already.

Would keep the neighborhoods fresh looking too.

 

[House Swap]

The other party does not like the house you are in as their "guest"  or they'd be in it , so when they are tired of the loss of control , boom they abandon.

Just be sure the group rights you've given them don't let them get other goodies from the group or cause damage or get  parcel sales proceeds etc.

 

 

 

[Bellisaria Covenant and commercial activity]

Did they ever figure out if the old Linden homes can now have skyboxes since the newer rules  that say OK to them are what you click to agree prior to getting assigned to one.

[Today is the Day?]

Linden waiting a full month makes sense since some people grabbed one ,or more houses, then the unforgiving tier fairy says "ok your highest level land owned in last month pushed you from  $xx to $xx" and the premium member may go " oh the new house isn't worth an extra 7- 12-32 USD a month" and they abandon it.

Why is religion in this at all? Did the Lindens build these over a sacred burial ground?

the deployment was not done correctly

Really, they should have dropped thousands of homes and then had hundreds of tickets while they sorted through things that needed fine tuning? 

If you are premium , you CAN  get a Linden home and 512m tier credit. You may not like it but they are fulling their contract.

I had heard that the old Linden homes were computer done- homes plants spat out like from a nail gun and then tweaked a bit after.

Here you can see the handwork. Takes time.

What would have helped is after the first batch of regions had a week or two to settle if they had mirrored them (without resident stuff) to a new batch of regions  elsewhere on the grid  there by doubling the introduction. 

Didn't they mirror Zindra way back?

An alt is an account that gets no discount , not even group bonus on Linden homes so that's that . You pay -you get.

[How many of those homes?]

How many traditional homes, on average, are on each region?

I'm wondering the finances of this project. Is Linden making more per region getting premium versus renting a full region out. And will they staff 24/7 to be great landlord?

Wonder how many landlords will close over the next year because of these new homes......

[Oh, the banality]

Not quite a "normal" suburban house, unless your bedroom has Grand Central station touches: https://vrroom.buzz/vr-news/business/meet-vr-pioneer-philip-rosedale-and-his-avatar

[What else would you guys like to see added to the new Linden Home Continent?]

Picnic blankets with pg cuddles  or just nosh poses  in more private protected land (ie not under someone's window ) by rivers etc. 

Long term , the LI on the houses could be redone to go down-- now 200 + when abt max 50 for same look in stores. Then the parcel prims could go up maybe.

I wonder though. Compared to a banline or ejection security script, I'd think something like the bees could be less disruptive (although I've never actually encountered them) inasmuch as they don't separate the vehicle from its operator, and shouldn't be as disorienting to a pedestrian as an llEjectFromLand or (god forbid) an llTeleportAgentHome.

I

The bees I ran into came out of hive and stuck to my avatar for probably 15 minutes until I left region, having crossed parcels etc. A ban line , I  hate them, is a wall. Ejection- you go home or outside parcel-- how can having your avatar accosted and buzzed at not be pretty upsetting. It is an attack. And to keep attacking when the parcel is left, that's why I AR'd .

People in RL  die from bee stings.It is disruptive and scary.

BEWARE OF KILLER BEES!!!!!!

I've run into a bee "alarm" they followed me across the region. I advised region owner who had store with home rentals, she had them removed.  I think they are harassment , it goes on and on with them following. I filed an abuse report on them also, it is like griefing

It was just nasty. Not one bit funny. If being alone is that important move your hive to a skybox.

The above  video card alone  is 500 bucks,  the majority of residents aren't that posh. A total system for us at that  price is more likely, and it works in not bogged areas. But designing for the future on a system that maybe 1% of us have or will have......   added-  erm    think trailer park

[SSP?]

Will these be standard Premium homes or a new higher level of cost?

When will they be available? By auction? Random free landing?

How much effort will LL put into enforcing the look and feel-- those stupid empty skyscrapers really wrecked Horizon.  Will a Linden roll the streets in a golf cart and return out of theme stuff? REALLY?

 

[Deploy Plans for the week of 2017-07-24]

Are the main channels being restarted today also? They aren't on the  original list but on the maintenance list today ..... 

[Deploy Plans for the week of 2017-04-10]

Any chance the planned reboots can be posted- like they were in the old system so we'll know when the next full grid reboots will occur-- makes planning hunts, events easier for residents, 

 

What is going to happen this week isn't even up.

[Deploy Plans for the week of 2017-03-13]

Hi- can the deploy schedule be broken off in a nice box on the side bar ,like in the old forum, so that we don't have to a) scroll down to look b) have to open more screens ?

[Check out the Place Pages Beta!]

Not specific to this issue but WHY are the posters profile photos on the left designed so that 80% or more of the names not visible but blotted out by the graphic? Why can't the avatar/poster name be black against white on top or bottom of the visual?

[Google maps for auction locations -really?]

I'm a JIRA noob but looks like it was closed. I don't see a duplicate .

 

So that's that I guess. I've stopped auction shopping .

[Google maps for auction locations -really?]

I'm seeing , blank, Google maps in the auction map ???  So, will they include flying instructions too?  "Bank left at Bay City -- lower to 4 m and come in for a landing "

Or is SL land really real?

[Traveling through SL with weekly rentals]

Please let every landlord know you are just there for a week.  Their rental system may hold the parcel for a few days grace period if you don't pay by the seventh day. Aside from  their  set-up time for a one week rental, you don't want to cost them unpaid rent.
