SL16B Stunning seems to be a copy of SSP 197, so I agree that it's probably just showing off the current options.

As of yet, we don't know where it will be -- or even if the guess is correct that their will be another Preview at that time. If they do a Preview at the Bday Bash, my guess is they will copy over some new regions from the SSP area and attach them next to the Bday Bash area. That is what they did with the first Preview -- attached some regions to the Home & Garden Expo area.
If you search SLB 1 Build, that to me looks like the area. It seems there is a Linden Homes preview in SLB 20 Build, but it's unknown if that's just showcasing the home types that are already out.

Parcel privacy in SL is lacking some functionality. When you turn it on anybody outside the parcel cannot see avatars in the parcel. And avatars inside the parcel cannot see avatars outside the parcel even when those avatars are on public land. So it's kind of "sack on the head" on both sides.
A cool solution would be that nobody outside the parcel would not see avatars inside the parcel, but avatars inside the parcel would see avatars outside normally. Even more cool solution would be if the avatar visibility could be set not only to the whole parcel but also to a specific area inside the parcel. Like for example only for the footprint area of the house.
When in RL I'm inside the house nobody outside can see me. But when I go outside the house, still being in my parcel, everybody can see me and I can see them.Bolded section would be brilliant. Especially with each parcel knowing what house its using, and said houses footprint. Could extend the footprint idea to the security orb settings too: e.x. you step onto the property, 20 second warning; you tp into the home, kicked immediately.

SSP?
in Linden Homes
Just now, Chic Aeon said:Well we can't see the elevations all that much from the map, so likely it is a placement starting point (I am hoping as the regions they picked and not some of my favs :D). So moving the roads to compensate with the land and such would make them different automatically. Hopefully there will be some more lovely but different community areas. Those really DO let the regions have different characters.
So kind of like picking out a template from Blogger (or Wordpress most likely) and then moving things around a bit and changing colors and such. Even using different trees would make them different. So likely a good workflow idea.
💯 Just as long as you can pass the same region twice several times before you go "OH... this is just a copy."I feel like it is quite a damper when it feels like a procedural. But I feel like they learned that between the old linden homes and now.

I'm always down to be cammed and I cam those nearby occasionally as well. We're a curious bunch. I rarely hide my parcel (hey if you see anything you don't want, 99% of the time its your fault). I'm on a river/lake so I often sit out and watch the boats go by, so it's only fair they can see me too in my eyes. But I agree with the general consensus that the roads and community areas get enough traffic (for now. will depend how the rest of the rollout goes if they remain popular).

I hope they won't copy paste them too-too much. Even if they are the perfect regions, and they move the landscaping around, each region should still be somewhat unique. I think some basic copy-paste might even help somewhat, as far as keeping the road network uniform and making sense. No doubt they'll tweak once they're all in place. i'm not worried.

Thanks for the permission.
"you can do whatever" is not permission. It's a given.
I just add it because people like to really put words in peoples mouths here. If I clarified less, I'd have double the number of people taking issue. -

Your post was mostly fine except for the first two sentences, which seem to contradict the rest of the post. "We must behave in a way..."? That's going a bit beyond "For Your Consideration" and into the category of preaching, which is unlikely to convince anyone to do the "charitable thing".
It's just something to ask yourself when you decide to get a 2nd home. What if everyone had 2 accounts and did the same?
You can do whatever. I'm not sure it would stop me from getting a 2nd home if I had 2 premiums.
I'm just saying towards the people whos thought process is : "Well, not many people are going to do this, so if I do it it's fine." That's a risky way to go about your thought process.-

We all certainly can do whatever we have the ability to do, but then there is the question: what if everyone made the same decision I made? We must behave in a way that if everyone else behaved in the same way, things would still work out. I feel like, unless I'm missing something, many of you are putting words into the OPs mouth. They aren't saying anything bad about those who DID take a second home (bc you have the right to take as many homes and you have premiums. If 100 people had 5 premium accounts each, then they could very well take a good portion of the continent. It's not dictated per person. It's per premium, and that's fair). They're just putting a For Your Consideration that perhaps if you wait on the 2nd home until there isn't sucg a rush to get into the continent, perhaps more who are eager for a place can get it, which I am a bit befuddled how one can not see as a charitable thing to do when there is scarcity, whether you decide to to it or not (which is fully your right and OP never said it wasn't).

I come here daily to see if there are any updates, I go to my premium account under the Get My Home tab and check to see if the new continent is listed there.. im not sure if either of those methods are the correct move.. Also, when the parcels are available, how do you go about choosing the right one? or do you just choose "houseboat" and LL assigns you a parcel? I think this info would be good to know for when these become available as it seems like it might be soon.
You're doing great just by coming here daily, tbh. Most of those complaining never visit the forums. You shouldn't have to visit the forums to know what's up, but visiting here definitely lets you know of what progress is made, and (somewhat) when updates might be coming. Last rollout, things all went in 24-48 hours, so those who checked the forum once a day all had time. You can also follow this thread
to receive notifications when the update drops. The SL or LL (forget which, sorry) Twitter, apparently also will Tweet when the new phase comes out, so if that works better, do that.
As for choosing the right parcel: it's all random. NOTE THOUGH: you can change your house style through an item (mailbox if house: live preserver if houseboat) , so if you snag a place, don't make the mistake I've seen many make and get a place and abandon it bc you want another style. You can change the style, but not the placement. Changing placement (or switching from a houseboat to house, or vise versa) is done through abandoning your land, which can be done (I think) 5 times per day. But be careful (especially with this rollout which may go fast) and don't be too picky, or else you may be left without a home.-

If you click the pickle jars as the pickle place btw, it gives you a pickle on a stick. Just an FYI.

I'm pretty stoked about a decade theme. Much more open to creativity than last years theme (crystals iirc, right?). Lots of good and bad has happened in every decade. It's important we celebrate the good and do not forget the bad. We would not be where we are now (for better or for worse) without either.
-
I call Wednesday. Ready to be wrong though.

I think (and hope tbh) that it'll be urban themed. There seem to be alleyways in between the lots, and that double road could be a sort of main street.

I totally understand where you are coming from. But my whole thing, what would be the point in creating a new continent, landscaping it, creating and putting down new houses. If everyone wanted a skybox on their plot. Do you see where I am coming from? There would really be no need for a house or a houseboat or even the new continent. You might as well just use your allotment on mainland. Sure choices are great and all, but again. What would be the point on working on something like this, just to have every premium member to rez a skybox?
I usually hate "both sides" arguments, but in his case, I think it works.
You offer the argument: what if everyone wanted a skybox? The current experiment has proved that false imo. People have shown that if they have a home plot they will decorate it for the most part. -
Just now, halebore Aeon said:
But they didn't pay for this parcel, they got the house for free. Yeah I would understand if you had paid for a parcel on mainland. But you are literally getting a house for free. That to me looks really damn nice, and much better than the old Linden Homes.
That is my thing though: yes, they have options, but this is Linden controlled. No doubt, many just want it all done for them. We are allowed skyboxes here: ok cool. You should be allowed to have a skybox and a Linden home. But I think if we gave the option: many would say: no I JUST want a skybox, do whatever with the extra prims the house would have given. If a small community committed on that, it would allow the moles much more freedom.
-
I still maintain there could be an option that (so far) is neither Traditional or Houseboat. There will be many people who opt for a skybox no matter what options are available. That is totally fine, and their right as a premium member. In my opinion, though, that even gives Moles more freedom: the homes are, what, 160, 200 prims a piece? Imagine them being able to use those on the ground. And just to clear up a couple arguments:
But shouldn't someone be able to have a house and skybox?
Yeah totally.
They paid for their parcel. Who cares how they use it?
They should be able to use their parcel however. But, if they want to purely have a skybox and want to take advantage of the double prims without decorating at all on the ground which they never plan to use (do any of you think they should be obligated to decorate a house they never plan to use, or feel a vacant house is better than a mole decorated ground?) they should be able to.
I want to move the convo a bit away from entitlement, which we are currently at. Yes, sure, many feel cheated that some with alts have two homes, while they wait. That'll go away. But, eventually everyone with a linden home will be forced to move. Surely, no matter what the Lindens and Moles do, many will not be satisfied, and/or will just want a sky place to change clothes. In my opinion, if we want the continent/ground to maintain a sense of community/consistency, we should offer those people some sort of option. It could perhaps even be quicker if the moles were able to just make an option and only allow skyboxes in it.
I'm fully down for the community experiment: but surely there are those who aren't interested. Give them an option, imo. -

On the map you posted, you can drive south through the Corinth region into Bellfry. The road twists and turns right where the (2) is next to the word Corinth. It's hard to see sometimes due to the way mesh trees appear on the map.
I'll be damned. Indeed you can. Maybe we need some road maps. 😂

I think that some road issues will become less of an issue once the interior of the continent is finished. I don't expect that the SSPExxx regions will be remaining empty forever.
Oh, I get that. This is just the only place I've seen on the continent as I've explored that you cannot get from A to B because things are not finished yet. Felt it might have been overlooked.

I do thing sometimes the road system seems counter-intuitive, but I feel like things will be more connected and it will be easier to get from A to B. One thing has kind of bothered me lately though. As far as I know, if I want to go north (and remain on the road) I would have to completely go the entire other way around the continent. I have to go off-road with the orange bit. I'm not sure if a road was meant to be added or what, but it seems like the rest off the continent you can get from A to B semi-easily once you figure out the layout.

I don't know that I've actually seen or heard any comments from anyone wishing that they could have just a skybox location. I have heard it proposed by people who seem to be upset that others are getting homes but then not decorating them or appearing to not use them, using a skybox instead. The people using skyboxes may like the additional privacy that they feel they get from a skybox, but maybe they also want to feel that they are part of the community and enjoy the roads and other public areas. Perhaps over time, they will decide to move down to the ground level. Sometimes just being in the midst of community, even if not explicitly participating in the community, is enough to make one feel included.
Maybe I am wild, but I am sure there has to be at least a 5% minority that is "I just want a linden home as a place to open boxes" and whatnot. Those people should not be forced to get a traditional home or houseboat or whatnot. We are eventually going to force every old linden home user over to the new continent. Surely a certain percentage just wants a rez spot.
And yes, of course, they are just as deserving of a linden home. They pay. However, if they are fully open thay they just want a skybox, and have no intention of being a part of the community, would it be awful to just give them a skybox?-

Um ... SSPE164 ? Are you ok?
I actually ended up there as well. Something screwy is going on. I tried to go on multiple drives from my home, got to a certain point, ended up sitting in the air, and when I stood up... SSPE164. Each time from the same spot. Went on drives in other areas just fine, though.

This is not actually always the case. Many places restrict or ban billboards. I'm not fully apposed to ads, but I think billboards would be crossing the line imo.
