    I usually do see a lot of abandons on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays as most people are still of the opinion (in group) that these are the days releases are most likely to happen.

    Yep, I swore I read somewhere by Patch or A Mole that these days would be the release days. That is why there is always in influx of homes that pop up can sometimes interfere with the actual release.

    On the map as it is today..

    234 - Gangway

    250 - Begula Sound

    249 - Walrus Beach

    233 - San Alejandro

    232 - Edgar (released)

    248 - Limevale

    Not on the map, but directly below Walrus Beach is Porthole.

    All appear ready to be released.

     

    Edit.. Limevale may not be ready as was mentioned, there's nothing on the other side of the river.

    Yep nothing at all but a green hill but if it is a start nice has little personal docks that you can sit down and see the grass hill for now :D but edgar is right next door and they released that and faces the other side also.

    Limevale has 7 houses on it... no house boats.... it's very nice... it' basically where your are on your map right there through that channel... should be SSPE248

    Sorry that should be 10 houses on it....

    Hehe that was not me on the map this is someone else's pic of the map, most of the areas are now named and ready to go. Just can't remember where Limevale was and what that edge part of the island was called I know SSPE232 was the area I felt was nicer then the other side of the island surrounded by all the houseboats.

    Passwall on a Tuesday, recently releases on Thursdays. There should be no rigid day, time releases.  Limevale has 7 Homes I think, should that be a release on it's own? Everybody should crash that region on Friday to get?

    The goal is to provide best oppurtunites for larger variety of people.  Limevale with another region release seems reasonable to me.  Could happen today. The big region is Gangway Homes and many Houseboats that gets it's own day.

    I can't find the post but I think it was @Patch Linden that said those specific days for releases was Monday,Wed. and Fri. but can always change.

    Was Limevale at the very end of the island has a few houseboats and like 2-3 homes? need a in-game snapshot of the map lol might be one on here let me check.

    Ok found one before the regions where named it is the area in SSPE249 you can see the one dock at the edge of this pick that is a small area.

    But if it's the perfect house apart from that, wouldn't derender solve the problem?

    Would take a lot of de-rendering you have trees, docks and then you have no idea what people are going to place when they get there, the way they have the houses setup some are low to the ground, some are on hills, the houses are turned different directions they are blocked by not only the houseboats but trees. I like to not start de-rendering the lovely landscapes if I can avoid it and if it is not causing lag I rather see everything.

    And so in conclusion they are probably not for me the perfect house. I flew around and stopped and looked from all angles even went to the home that is at the end of the island just where not working for me near the ocean side, the houses that where more inland and near the canal I liked much better which is funny for me.

    Heh. That's the one I have my eye on as well. But I'll be away from home tomorrow so you may be in luck ;) 

    Oh! don't do it I always say the same thing and jinx myself out of the property hehe. I don't think a release will happen tomorrow as far as I know it is Monday, Wednesday and Friday for release days but they may switch it up on people you never know.

    I missed it all today!     :(

    Yep sorry I figured when people started saying region lines appearing and disappearing, I said someone go on the game and see if they saw Patch and now Derrick I knew the release was about to happen. So we told people to get ready that was on the hunt for a home I am still waiting for another seaside region release and may try again. I just sat and watched today.

    Haha I think I may have gotten this one.

    If it is, I like it. I have a houseboat already, and another one in Foxbridge that's a few blocks off the water. I like this location better than better than the one in Foxbridge; it's much more secluded and at least has a view of the canal to it. I'll keep this one for sure; debating about releasing the one in Foxbridge. Still hoping I can snag a home closer to the water at some point.

    Oh I have seen some nice secluded spots in some of the older area there is one house it is almost nestled in the mountains by itself, I mean if you wanted some peace and quiet it was an excellent little spot there is a photo on the forums with it actually had to search  to find it.

    my radar has 41 people in and around the 7 regions..... I haven't seen any fish or trucks though....

    I am starting to wonder what someone said about being in world and trying to claim a home when the region is released that they get the house the want. I can't see why so many people need to be watching a zone if everything is suppose to be done thru the website it is a interesting speculation. 41 people is a lot of folks standing around unless some of those are in zones with active housing already in place.

    I'm back from my very short dinner..... and.... and.... now the text and green boxes are gone from all the regions.... all that is left is the main red boxes.... that's 7..... uh huh 7..... that look to be able to go at anytime....... could the moles shock us all??????

    Start flying around and see if you see patch or the moles, probably can tell which areas are going to release if they want to be seen.

    I just checked further south as well... there is a 3rd sim with no green text or boxes called Porthole that looks very ready to go as well..... Porthole mix of houseboats and houses, Walrus Beach mix of houseboats and houses, Limevale has only 7 spots all houses....

    Oh nice! need pics you know how you are itching to see these areas but I can only see chat not the actually areas until I get home from work and by that time it would be too late to do anything but congratulate the new home owners.

  12. 25 minutes ago, AveryWitt said:

    Walrus Beach and Limevale both have no text and no green boxes around the houses.... Red boxes around the regions are still in place.....

    They seem like the winners for the next release then, and sound like Walrus Beach is near the water starting to catch they naming conventions they have for some areas.

    And you will see a lot of abandons on release day sometimes it is a good thing and bad because if numerous people are releasing and a release actually happens you may get screwed and not get the new area but one of the older ones.

    Now I've finished auto refreshing I thought it might be useful to list all the homes I spotted I managed to get and how (abandoned or released) plus why I left them. I didn't know what I wanted at the start only by exploring and living in these places did I find out so maybe this will be interesting to some looking for a home. These homes were in a combination of top of menu and in the drop down! (manual refresh sometimes hours at a time - demand still exceeds supply so this was the only way in my eyes!)

    Holton Center (a trad) very happy to get my first one but having seen the locations on the map decided to try see something different so got an alt on board to help. 

    Wolfboro (r trad) very happy with this one overlooking canal and bridge - felt closed in and decided to see what houseboats were like to increase amount of water around me.

    Bellfry (a trad) no water.

    Sainte Helene (r trad) no water.

    Floaton (a hb) cute boat with view of lighthouse - decided I wanted lighthouse view with less lag / more space around me and probably a release.

    Kurenai (a hb) lag.

    Gazaway (a hb) twice claimed this one - view of houseboats no lighthouse.

    Slippery Wharf (a hb) lag and no lighthouse.

    Sagarc (a hb) no lighthouse.

    Kabuto (a hb) no lighthouse.

    Ness (a trad) lovely place near beach but not on it.

    Seal Point (r hb) best boat I got on the Seal Point corner of the canal. Loved it! Only gave it up for my current home - did so because was more of a lake life than a coastal life. 

    Foxbridge (a trad) - no water.

    Kirbee (a trad) twice got this one - no water.

    Light of Aurelia - (r trad) - lighthouse, coast, corner plot, seaview but crucially makes me feel good, happy, relaxed which is what I want from an SL home plus I can watch the building happening over the water!

    This took weeks but the point is I think - it's okay to change your mind until you are ready to stop. Some of you will agree others will think I am too picky - I only worked out what I wanted by hopping. Also on certain days you can see and bag the same place twice.  One of the best things I did was look after a release up to half an hour.  You KNOW a release has happened and people will be swapping / dropping and moving on. I am sure whoever got my Seal Point abandon was wondering why!!

     

     

    Lord! my stress level would go up if I swapped that much just the simple fact I can't stand this house retrieval system right now. I try and help others with the frustration on when I see them pop up because I know the struggle is real. I think I released maybe twice and may release the current house I have now still deciding but i guess your done since you got the one in Light of Aurelia.

    Yes, I know, I really should kick myself in the b... and keep going. And usually I do. Logging into my account and starting to refresh is the first thing I do in the morning and I keep doing it until I go to bed, minus the times I have to take care of RL things of course. No idea why I have never even seen a single houseboat though. But well, that's life, and tonight I call it a day after 3 hours of frantically trying to get Alumna's laggy houseboat. Tomorrow is another day. :) I guess hope never dies. I hope. 🤔

    Keep trying those of us that try to keep people updated on releases and also abandon's as much as we can. I know it can get dishearten you see others getting a home/houseboat but your day will come you will refresh see one pop up say I know I am not going to get it and bam! you got it.
