    If you are going to use your Linden Home solely as a skybox parcel with no intent to ever use the home or ground level, please consider moving to a less occupied theme, such as Chalet or Fantasy. 

    or use your land allowance for a parcel on mainland and leave the Bellisseria homes for those that would actually like to use them. Why take a nice  home if you just want a skybox and waste the space?

    The thot flashed thru my mind that this might be what had fallen out, but I decided against it because, after all, why would the Minnow be carrying a spy balloon?

    There was a spy satellite in the Gilligan's island movie.

    There are clearly a lot of people who don't consider Linden homes a stepping stone to Mainland.

    it doesn't matter what residents think they were meant for, what they use them for or what age they are when they get their home. it's a fact that the lindens said they are meant to be starter homes for new residents.

    I have always thought that the whole point of Bellisseria was to increase the number of paying residents by making it super easy to acquire an inworld home

    the point of bellisseria is it's a place to start out for premium residents, so the premium plus homes will be starter homes for premium plus residents. they've said before, they never meant for them to be permanent homes to replace mainland. they're a stepping stone for inexperienced/new premium residents.

    It seems ridiculous that waterways crisscross the subcontinent yet there is no rezzable water on parcel, hence no permanent boats in the water. Combined with fact that the entire subcontinent is a cul-de-sac, having only one entrance (with obstacles), those interested in boating (both dock candy owners and serious sailors) will go elsewhere.

    There are rez zones all over for those waterways and they didn't design those regions to have water access for every home, it's fantasy marshlands. For water access at home, choose a stilt home or houseboat. Also, I'm a sailor and I love that storm section and wish it was bigger. It's an experience you don't get anywhere in SL and it's over too quickly when sailing thru, and those obstacles aren't a problem if you can get a frigate thru there without taking any damage.

  6. The fantasy themed homes are one of my favorites and the scenery there is amazing. Best part of Bellisseria to me, other than the lack of sailable sea. The houses could've looked less modern but I think they mixed modern and fantasy fairly well. I'd be ok with houses changing if they go more fantasy, just don't go back to the mini castles and giant stumps.

    GTFO has spread wide over all the mainland and in Sansara it's about all you can see.

    there can only be one GTFO! hub per region so you're seeing more than just GTFO!

    I think it's more than fine to complain how they wreck the view and turn much of the Mainland into a sprawling suburban mall-like vista. 

    this has nothing to do with GTFO! and yes, what about those big malls that have nothing to do with GTFO! and those rental regions everywhere with stacks of giant floating domes?

    The presence of a tiny handful of ocean shipping

    there is more than a tiny handful of sea shipping in GTFO!

    Also, you have the option to move away from mainland into private regions.

    GTFO, with the endless acres of concrete parking lots and trucks, does not belong in an area like this.

    GTFO is a grid wide freight hauling game, it belongs anywhere land owners setup hubs for use with gtfo and allow freight haulers to load & unload cargo. Also, concrete parking lots? not specific to GTFO!, there are way too many eyesore builds in SL that have nothing to do with GTFO! and many really great places that are GTFO! Also, there are several ways to haul cargo within the game, I use a tall ship most days, I'm pretty sure concrete has nothing to do with it. Maybe people should learn about things before they hate them.

  9. yea I feel like there is something bigger to it than just deciphering the messages. There are interesting things to see scattered around fantasy Bellisseria. also, I realized after my question about the language that it must be elvish... bcuz... it's on an elven castle....lmao

  10.    I'm sure I've spent more time on the deck of this ship than with any other object in SL, that doesn't attach to my avatar. One day just recently I sailed it on a nearly eight and a half hour cruise ( 8h22m to be more precise ). It's an 18th century 5th rate frigate from N&K Shipyards. It has a realistic sailing engine, with visible and performance damage from battle or running aground. It can be operated by one person or by a crew of several people, each controlling different parts of the ship. It's also compatible with the mainland wide grid game called GTFO!, allowing you to haul virtual freight from place to place for virtual currency and experience. I love tall ships, I also enjoy challenges and this ship takes practice and makes you feel like you're actually able to sail the real thing. Once you're comfortable with it and you're out sailing on the open SL seas, it's so relaxing hearing the waves, sails and creaking of the hull,  giving a feeling of accomplishment ( and possibly addiction ) as a bonus.

  11. I love the Bellisseria railroads. It was a very big surprise to me that they even built them for us to use. If there were no railroads, roads, community areas or water, what would there be? Empty homes locked with overpowered security devices and banlines. Sounds very familiar, I'm quite sure that's been done before.

    Is just that when we reflect on these kinds of situations from both the gallery owners and resident/creatives respective' then we are better able to understand why the path is as it is and why we need to stay on the path

    you stay off the grass and on the path because the owner of them both said to stay off the grass.

  13. I love exploring SL by vehicle, especially Bellisseria. I travel by Teeglepet, sampan or just walking around fantasy Bellisseria and by tallship, sailboat or motorboat everywhere else. I used to fly and drive more in past years but lag increase moved me to the water and slower vehicles. also, just got this in my email today, don't remember LL doing this before... https://gyazo.com/3da19d60c844e86dd39337920642af21

    Just heard a 5 second long variable tone coming out of the Moondoor pit in Eyrie at 09:12 SLT. Seems to repeat every 5 minutes or so. And it's daytime at present.

    These sounds are identical to those heard at the swamp turtle in SSPE2754, also in daytime too.

    I'm not hearing anything from the moon door except the humming and what sounds like something hissing or like steam pressure releasing sometimes.
