Thanks. I guess that area isn't ready yet though it looks read but I guess there are lots of things which aren't immediately obvious which may not be ready like scripting etc.

I'm not sure but I remember Alala being released about 2pm Second Life time. Its a bit late now, I'm thinking probably no more released until Monday.

Yes a very early and a very late might happen to take us catchers unaware

Copper Kettle was released. Campers

The big yellow lines in the sky that I can see from my back garden are over Nicholasville I think. Does that denote that the region is ready for release?

lots of people seemed to have been abandoning campers as Copper Kettle was released.

Well they weren't beside water but one had lovely mountain views and the other had river view and was very private.

apparently Copper Kettle was released. Is it campers?

Don't think it was a release. I caught two (just because I can't help myself 😂 ) One was Red Bluff and the other was Whackamole.

My wind in the willows house in Toad Hollow decorated for Halloween. Graphics aren't great cos I'm on my laptop 😏

yes me too

The page seems broken. Error error error... campers still showing.

I think abandon and catch is very risky and probably most of the time unsuccessful. Someone here announced releasing a house in Deer Pass not long ago and I refreshed and clicked for nearly an hour. Nothing showed up. So I went to the house in Deer Pass and it was still with the Lindens. I had to give up and go to bed as I was just off night duty. I think it seems to vary greatly how long a house is released after abandoned.

I loved it but the keeper is in Toad Hollow mainly because I love that name, reminds me of the Wind in the Willows book, so I have named it Wild Wood Haven and I have a rat, moles and a Toad in my garden. Just need a badger now 😃

Going to let this gorgeous house on Shanty go at 04.30am SL time. I have one I love already elsewhere. This house is in a lovely position on a coast road front with water back and front. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Shanty/254/73/29

I got it a couple of weeks ago. If I wanted a HB I think that would be the one.

Both were beautiful. The HB was Seal point with open sea to the front and a canal along one side.

Yes that's one I regret letting go. The location was so perfect. Love the tiny homes, wish they would give us more prim allowance with them though.

I went across to look at those campers and they are taken. I can see a yellow line in the sky and assumed it surrounded the campers but it isn't, it is some houses beyond the campers. I think she was maybe just sorting some problem for someone.

I don't think it was her as when her name appears I always think of Whitney Houston so I would have remembered. 😀

I continually got the error page and didn't catch anything. I have just been on my land on Toad Hollow and seen a blue dot on Mini map. I clicked and it was a Linden - a female, I cannot remember the first name. She was only there a few minutes and as soon as she disappeared I got the 'restart' notice. Perhaps sorting out some problem. She was on the camper site on the other side of the river from Toad Hollow. They have yet to be released.

This isn't mine but a home close to mine. I thought it was cool and the band is animated.

I rarely catch a house during a release of a region as I am either working or my internet is too slow to 'win' (not sure if it is that the internet is faster elsewhere than here in Ireland or that I am too slow at clicking 😊 ). Most of the houses I catch have been abandoned by others. I tend to take the opportunity to 'fish' just when I have a spare moment, usually on my phone. I thought I would use a thread for people to show the lovely places that are being abandoned. So don't give up hope those who haven't managed to catch what they want. It doesn't need to be a release day to get a lovely home. This house on the beach at Badger Beach was the one I caught in a release and abandoned by me because I love a green garden. This was an abandoned houseboat in Seal Point. An abandoned camper at Tawakoni An abandoned house at Shanty (on the left) The back of my house at Shanty.

I first came to Second Life because the university I was studying with (as a mature student) had an island here. The students got free university apartments with a social area in the middle. Its gone now and I wouldn't want to go back anyway as it was inhabited mostly by a***oles and griefers. This was back in 2007, so a distant memory now and I used a different account then which I deleted before coming back with my present account. I have photos of most of my homes with this account and I had a little spot on the mainland which I do still go back to look at from time to time because it evokes fond memories.
