As a premium member, arent we supposed to get a $1000 lindens a week stipend? I dont recall getting that
-
thanks for the reply,, i had heard something about that in the past and wanted to confirm

Does LL have a limit on the degree on incline when building roads? Do they suggest a limit to this angle?
-
Now all you need to do is make homes to go with the security system!!

Surely the issue is that it shouldn't be a lottery. People are not buying lottery tickets. They are not paying money to LL to enter a competition in the hope that they win a home. They expected to just get one. Is it an unreasonable expectation? "Sign-up for Premium and with any luck you might get one of the new homes we've rolled out" is not how it was 'sold' at the time. People were signing up for Premium and paying money to Linden Lab on the basis of getting a new 1024 plot and a home. That's how it was promoted to them.
"Are you ready for your new life on the Bellisseria continent? Now may be the perfect time to upgrade to Premium! Your new home is waiting for you!" is how it was stated on the original announcement - no suggestion of waiting times and pot luck! It was available now and waiting for you! Just pay your money. (Although in fairness the blog post has since at least been updated to say they are all sold out!)
So if someone has signed up for a quarterly account on the back of being able to get one of the new homes and three months later still haven't been able to simply and easily get the home they were promised, it's understandable that they're naturally going to feel aggrieved and feel that they've wasted their money - should they then renew their membership having already not been able to access what they thought they'd paid for already? With that in mind, are members entitled to a refund if the service they signed up for cannot be delivered in full? Or is there a proviso in the TOS when you sign up which states that the new homes are 'subject to availability'? If not maybe there should be!
Probably the most intelligent comment I have heard to date.

We are making new, individual, unique, and continually improving regions and releasing them as fast as we can. We do not tell anyone the exact time new homes are released and we vary those times as much as possible. No one has any advanced warning or knowledge of when a release is happening, making it the absolute fairest method possible.
Fair would be allowing someone who pays premium fees to LL to be able to get a home, Fair would be knowing how many premium members you, which LL should know, and build accordingly,, if you have 100,000 premium members and you produce 50 homes a week, well, isnt that a bit ridiculous (no idea about these numbers just trying to show a ridiculous scenario). I just think that this whole thing was handled incorrectly, from a standpoint of just business and custom satisfaction. How does one check the availability every day for 3 months and everyday nothing is available, and someone else, according to an above post, has been able to get homes repeatedly with no problems whatsoever. you are saying thats fair? Im just in the wrong place at the wrong time for 3 months? How is that doing it right?
Oh and BTW, if someone is looking that closely at my profile picture, close enough to see something that is not there and saying that my profile picture is x rated because it shows skin, well, someone has bigger problems than me and these houses... so Ill yield the conversation to the psycho.

If i post to 31000 other posts i wont get noticed,, Im trying to make a point... maybe LL will see, like they have seen all others,, Im sure they are not reading 31000 posts either. If you think this rollout is going well, then, you have a home.. for the other 31000 paying premium members,, we are frustrated and it should not be this way. I dont really need positive encouragement,, Linden Labs,, create the homes and create a fair method for us to get them,, thats all im saying.

I check every day for a new home and everyday its the same thing, none available. You cant refresh anymore.. so that is the technique to get a home? I dont understand, they say they are building them and releasing them but i have never seen a home released in at least 3 months. They say on Mon, Wed and Fri? right? Well i check those days and never is one available. not ever.

If so, how many and how long did it take for them to be scooped up?

Seems crazy to me though,, there must be 1000s of second life members looking for these homes.. maybe not 1000s, but 100s at least,, to release 20 homes that get picked up in a matter of seconds just makes the effort of checking the linden homes availability daily a futile effort. Are there people who just live on the webpage waiting for homes to become available? I dont get any announcements saying when homes will be available and if they are being released on monday wednesday and fridays,, when? what time? Is it possible to know this? But even if we did know it,, if 20 homes are being released and being picked up in 5 seconds,, whats the point?
Unfortunately, i just dont know how to play this "get a new linden home" game. I have a real life and i cant sit on a webpage 24/7 waiting for releases. Would seem to me the better option would be to get your name on a waiting list and rather then "release" houses on a 1st come 1st serve basis,, build the house, assign it to the first one on the list, notify them, and continue to the next, it does seem to be the most fair option.

I guess its been 2 or 3 months now that i check for Linden Homes release but nothing yet. I quit trying to refresh because that was just a waste of time. I heard about a new release cadence on Monday but silence since then and as far as I know, no new releases. Would be nice to have a target date for the next release. is this such an inexact science that putting a delivery date is impossible? Im curious.

Over the past 3 days I have been clicking to refresh the page to no avail. 3 times it came up with a houseboat available and 3 times I clicked it only to get the message that some combination was wrong or something, then it was no longer available. I have no idea what the message was trying to tell me, i assumed that by the time I clicked to accept it, someone else had beat me to it. For the past 24 hours when pressing refresh, no houseboats or new houses..
I feel so stupid, I dont even see the point in what im doing.. I guess its like I feel like Im paying for something but not getting it.. Ill just wait, its not really a big deal, maybe once all the newness wears off in a few months there will be places available, i dont know.. but for now, its not worth it clicking refresh time and time again like some idiot.

Beth, i have no idea who in these forums are "official" and who is not.. let me see if I can find the quote.. one sec

It does not really matter as I dont NEED a house. I have a house and a sim that I pay for along with others. Its more the principal of the thing,, I guess ill just quit worrying about it and maybe in a few months there will be some available.. no big deal.

thats not the point Beth, its not a matter of greed.. its a matter of making availing myself in an effort to get one when they are announced and being told that the first batch went in 48 hours so just stay up to date and when announced you will get one no problem.. all this does is throw crumbs to the starving masses making lots of people frustrated and mad. Better would be to wait and announce when you have a big enough batch to make a dent in the demand.. I just think this is poor management and not very good customer service.

LL is a multi billion dollar industry, its not going anywhere, although by the looks of this announcement, it does appear that maybe LL has some management issues.

so by that count,, the first release must have been quite a few 1000? that took 48 hours before stock ran out,, surely they must have known that 700 would not suffice.

Why put them out in "waves",, make a big batch and put them out,, that would seem to me to be the best way

I have been trying to keep up to date for the past 24 hours,, unfortunatley i drive a truck so I am not 100 percent near my computer all the time. Although I was refreshing using my smart phone from time to time. So I get an update message about the new houseboats. .so I think great, i got to get one, no houseboats.. I cant imagine that they are all sold as i was told that the others went in like 48 hours so I should be good to go by monitoring it.. Well, no, they apparently went fast.. how many did you make?? 10??
Its really sad this is being handled this way.. Why dont you make enough homes to meet the demand and THEN announce they are available?

Was thinking of trading my houseboat for a Victorian
in Linden Homes
Posted
But it took so long to get the houseboat,, im afraid to give it up and then be homeless again. Is there a way to "TRADE" my houseboat for a victorian? Or do i have to give up the houseboat first? I cant figure out how to see the availability of the victorians while owning a houseboat.
