    Happy end to a long 'story'. The last two days I was intensely debating with myself if I should stop trying to get a houseboat because the daily disappointment over such a long time was kind of getting to me. Somehow I couldn't get used to it or find a more distant and not so emotional inner perspective. Instead it felt as if my skin got kind of thinner every time I failed - if that makes any sense. I wasn't angry at anyone nor did I blame anyone. I know it was pure bad luck, nothing else. But somehow I knew I couldn't give up because it was tied into a lifelong RL dream of mine, that is living next to or on any kind of water. But this will never be possible. Because, well, you live where the job is that pays your bills. So I logged on today and monitored the regions that might be likely to release, saw Patch's blue dot, started the refresh frenzy and ... I got my houseboat! Geeze, I was shaking, crying real tears of joy and I am still not my usual self, feel like drugged in a way. lol I am so so so incredibly happy!!!😄 And I had some extra luck because it is on a square lot which I prefer but never thought I would get. When I raise my draw distance a bit I can even see the lighthouse in the distance! Pure bliss, I feel like being in paradise!😄

    Congrats also to all who got a house or houseboat in Gangway!!!😄

    Also I wanted to share a small piece of info of my refreshing experience that might help those who are still trying. What I noticed is, that the three times I actually did see a houseboat as an option to choose were always happening when I was inworld and did see the region release. I really paid attention to the region restart today and started manually refreshing the very second it came back up. I guess had I waited for an automatic refresh and an alarm I might have missed the release, but of course I can't tell for sure.

    I am very happy for you, you stuck with it and the outcome was you got yourself a houseboat which seems to be even harder to get compared to the homes as less have been released during the course of the last few weeks.

    I am happy for all that got what they were searching for it is a struggle, tempers flair, you get frustrated and just want to give up but you have to stick with it. The process to me seems like it will not get any better or even change for that matter but stick with it for all those that are still on the journey to a new home, that special place is waiting for you. Because lord knows I have been looking for that exact spot I can actually be satisfied with have not attempted in these last two days of releases was not interested in any of water view locations except Limevale (just has a water canal) which I was surprised they had released but not hard pressed I missed it.

    So all I can say your time will come.

    I snagged a lovely plot in Limevale about 1 1/2 hours ago. Must have been a 'catch and release' from yesterday?

    It's really nice to be back in Bellisseria with my own place.

    For the refresh club;

     Finding this plot took two days. I found this using manual refresh. The alarm on the auto made me jump about 1 1/2 mins later than I had already claimed the plot.

    I saw around 3 or 4 others during the previous search period and was too late for those.

    Yes, I know this. However, they will release it, then announce it. By the time I see the announcement in my email, they'll have been released for who-knows-how-long and I expect there will be a mad-rush. Even by those not looking for a Camper because, as I can imagine, it's leverage: "I have a camper that you want, you have a houseboat I want, let's coordinate abandoning for we can attempt a trade..." Yeah, I can totally see people cooking up ideas like that LOL

    Well if that was the case people would be doing that now and it would really not be leverage because you would not be guaranteed if I did have one or the other not like we could swap.

    I saw six houses and two housboats yesterday. Already two houses today. But no Campers, yet. 🙏

    Campers are probably going to be announced when they release that is not something I think Patch and who ever else would just release without any notice.

    It is just strange (and this part is not to anyone in particular) they released Limevale as part of that zone stretches to something that is unreleased. But who can figure out what there logic is behind any of this I guess they have a deadline to release a certain amount of these homes.

    I still don't understand why people think being in a region as it's released gives them an edge. I'm here flying from one region to the next just to see if there's any activity that would serve as an alert to an imminent release. The login to be in-world would be quite separate from the login on the house registration page.

    I said the same thing and someone said if you stick around the area you have a good chance in getting one, have no idea if that logic is true or not.

    Funny thing is that I explored San Alejandro the day before for awhile and funny thing got that area.

    Gangway actually has more people loitering in it than there are in Edgar and San Alejandro combined 😃

    That would be probably all those people that have been waiting on a houseboat to be released these will have a big chunk of houseboats released in awhile.

    How is it possible to 'break' your house?! Enquiring minds want to know!

    lol I have seen it done someone actually somehow deleted the entire home and all that was left was the decorations 😃. Others not sure if it was a linden issue or the home but people have had sunken or tilted homes that the moles had to come and fix.

    I'm not able to be in world this afternoon so won't be able to give real time updates.  I expect Gangway, at least, to be released today.

    I would normally expect Limevale to possibly release today, but that one really confuses me and I don't get confused very often.  I just can't figure out what they're going to do with the other side of the river.

    It may be blocked from us viewing what is happening across that strip of water, like someone stated may be trailers that are being built in that area so they may have it set so that you are unable to view or see anything. But what ever it is a portion of it is in the Limevale region so have no idea how and if they will release that anytime soon even though the small portion I have seen is nice.

  10. Alright don't be frustrated in about another 3hrs I may be releasing the one I got I can't get in game to take a look at it.

    And was not really a strategy I saw the window pop up was not sure if someone was doing the abandon game but I said this is around the time they normally release and people started posting restart of the regions so I just clicked got the famous sold out window but refreshed and bam! there ya go had the home , but it may just go back into the pool again.

    I think the wait is for region Gangway to release. It has more to offer than just Homes in the other regions. Gangway Houseboat issues when finished region release sometime today or it might wait to Monday. San Alejandro only today because some think Limevale is not ready. It's one or two of those regions. 

    Checked last night Limevale is not ready from the red box it extends to the undeveloped island so still in the works.

    San Alejandro is about the only area right now that I liked some of the homes. I tried and tried to find something good about the homes in Walrus Beach but they are just placed so strangely maybe because this is a hilly part of the region so some are on hills others are low to the ground others seem to be placed close to the house next to it or they are tilted to the positioning of the road. I tried but just could not find anything I was truly happy with.

    From the pic, it looks like a decent location.  What was the issue?

    I wonder the same thing that is a nice spot but I guess people have there reasons. Some of the houseboats in Walrus Beach I can tell you wont have such a nice view some of them are not very spaced out between them.

    I will try at some point and time to show my inherited houseboat I like because I am right near a beach and I call it a cabana.

    If you find you arent seeing them at all,stop your refresher. Wait 1 minute and 20 seconds,and restart it. When I was looking for Bellisseria, I found that the chime didnt sound for up to 5 seconds after target found,so your eyes actually need to register Bellisseria and your click thru needs to be done before that chime ever sounds. Just my experience. Good luck everyone!

    The chime has a delay the pop up window for me is much better and that is only because I am at work and remote into a machine at home if I have other windows open I can see that come up quickly.

    I can’t understand why I’m not even seeing the abandons. Is it because of the refresh limits and just having to be at exactly the right spot at the right time in the refresh timer?

    They go so fast it is rather a hit or miss on if you see them pop up or not, basically everyone is refreshing at different points so it may never pop up for you or you could be the first person it will pop up for. I sometimes don't see every single home/houseboat that comes up.
