    The number of times some people are able to catch and release shows that it isn't impossible to get a home anymore, but it is for people making more casual attempts rather than devoting nearly their entire SL to the quest for the mythical perfect location. 

     

    I don't think there is any plot that would be 100% prefect.   I was lucky to get a house in the 1st release and my alt got a houseboat on the second release.  I decided that a houseboat really wasn't for me so I got rid of it.  There was nothing special about my first house and it was surrounded by other houses so I got rid of that one and  my next house was all sand (I am not a sand person) but a nice location and then next one was again surrounded by other houses.  I am on my 4th house and I am quite happy with the location.  It is all green and it is by the canal and  even though there are some houses, I am not boxed in by them.    I just find with my computer that when I am surrounded by houses the lag is worse so that factors into whether I will keep the parcel or not.   I also didn't have to spend 24/7 refreshing either to get these houses,  I just try getting them when I happen to be on and have time to try for one.

    Maybe I should have waited until November to abandon my Belli house... :(

     

    Try not to second guess your decision.   I read your goodbye post and I think you made the best decision for you.  A person doesn't want to feel stifled or not have enough room to do what they want.  You can still participate in this event too and still be part of the community at any time :).

    Or to be a genuinely kind and supportive person. :) Looking at Beth here alone, she has like a 5:1 positive karma ratio; me, I barely hit 2:1; my all too frequent sarcasm does me in, I reckon. 😁

    I think too it depends on where and when you post.  Sometimes the forum is dead and no one is posting.  Or it is too hard to keep up and read everyone's post, least of all liking them.  I try to like posts, but  I am also bad for forgetting to use the like buttons.   I wouldn't worry too much about it,  I go by how people post, not their rep points.  

    Just keep being you :).

    The alpha cuts are minimal at best (a thin stripe cut out on both the forehead and the chin) and they are present on the demos to prevent copybotting/theft.

    As an aside: the cost is comparable with that of most other Bento mesh heads (unless the other heads are being discounted in a limited-time sale), and actually cheaper than the other 'big name' brand that's currently popular. Catwa also offers non-Bento heads that start at L$900.

    I agree that the cuts on the demo are minimal and yes most heads are around the same price, however some creators now have it where you can buy the head and hud separately and if you want more heads they are cheaper cause you only have to buy the hud once.    At the end of the day those were really the only things that I would consider a con (or in my case maybe nitpicking) , because the head is just lovely and there are way more pros about the head.   I bought the Catya head anyways despite these two things and it really is one of my favorite heads :).

  5. I have the Catya Catwa head and I find that lots of skins look good on it and there is lots of variety for it.  I also love the animations on this head.    Cons would be the cost and the alpha cuts on the demos.  I just hate that, I want to see the whole face.

    The important thing really is to demo demo demo.

    Interesting point.  I'd figured on twice the budget meaning more flexibility on where I skimped and where I lavished attention.  It was honestly getting the weather system installed that made me rethink how badly I wanted a new linden home.  That would absolutely be not in keeping with the overall theme (a thunderstorm over just one house LOL).  But where I'm at now, there is only ever me and one other person 200m away on the radar.  So there's no neighbors to annoy.

    It does make me wonder about finding an isolated mainland plot somewhere though.  I've never bought or even researched mainland land sales so I'll have to figure out how to even find the thing.

    You did a great job decorating your home.  And I really like the rain.  What weather system are you using? 

    I think for me the issue is now that the plots are bigger and now include a yard there is more area to decorate.  And I am not an expert really in decorating or linking stuff to save prims etc.  I am getting better at it though.  I guess I have champagne taste on a beer prim budget LOL.

    We decorated around her and her furniture since she is the most important to us. Yes, she is a zooby animesh, but she used to be a zooby legacy baby. She is everything to us and decorating was secondary.

    Well you did a great job!    Both you and @RaeLeeH do such a good job of making the houses look lived in with the amount of prims you most likely have left over.

    Have others done much with their underwater areas? I've only seen a few pictures.

    I have started but I am not finished.  So far I have some seaweed,  starfish that makes ocean noises, an orbiting shark and my Jian turtle and there is even a little goldfish swimming around in one of the weeds.  Sorry, not the best pic.  I think under the water is the last area people think to decorate as it is really not that visual.    You have done a great job with yours!

    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.

     

    And you are all doing a fabulous job of it too!  The progress that is being made is impressive.

    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. 

    And what do you think a fair method is?

    Vinland, Utgard, Asgard, Valhall, Viking Fjord, Picknose, Nasegrev, Hulder, Troll Peaks, Volve Valley, ...

    Yeah - I'm in a bit norse mood here... ;) 

    These names would be great if one of the new themes is cabins to go with the campers.

  12. I have always had a Linden house ever since I went premium.  I went premium mostly because I wanted to buy land the LH was just a bonus.  These newer homes don't change anything for me other than having a nicer LH.  I have no intentions of getting rid of my mainland parcel.   I still enjoy the chaos of mainland and have always used the LH as a place for some peace and quiet.

    I've made a lot of shapes for myself, to the point that I've developed a naming system for them, including the height, the name of the mesh body & head they're made for, and the year they were made.

    That is some serious dedication!
