  1. I'm trying to find a nice way of saying this, but.....there isn't any.  Its just going to seem unkind to some.  Its this:  Life Isn't Always Fair.  There will always be someone who has something you don't have, as you will always have something someone else doesn't have.  Accept it.  There's no point in yelling at the Moles or at LL for you not having a Belli home in the first month of their release.  I don't have one, & can't get one because my computer/connection isn't fast enough.  I'm willing to wait til the rush is over.  I've found a very nice little spot in mainland.  I've gone exploring & found many really wonderful places in mainland & other regions, as well as in Bellisseria.  

    Now, don't say "Yeah, you've got it all, what do you know".  My life has been full of difficulties, & some quite serious problems.  I choose to concentrate of the things that make me happy (SL among them )   I'd like to see less of the "Unfair!!!" in threads. How about some positivity....follow the advice you've been given here in the forums, visit Bellesseria,  hang out with people, & just keep trying til you get the home you want.  You'll be much happier.

    Between a neighbour with a fullbright orange lighthouse and another with a giant eyeball surrounded by green tentacles (my current neighbours.. bless them).

    I'm holding off trying for a Bell house for now, super slow connection.  But not stressing, as I've found a rental in a very nice area on mainland, made by moles!  Its small, so I'm hunting for  a 1024 one in the same region, so I can landscape.  There are ways to wait for the perfect Bellissaria house, stress free.  We'll get there eventually  😉

     

    BTW, I looove that Sparticus pic, it really made me laugh.  Yes, I am entertained.  😛

    The really weird part was that I got another house right away, far away on the other side of Bellisseria. While I was looking it over. that same woman showed up in the street right outside my new house. I suppose she was playing catch and release, too, but it felt odd at the time.

    (Hmm, maybe it really *was* @Beth Macbain...)

    Uhohh!  Did she look just like you?  just saw the movie "Us"

    You forgot;  wouldn't it be nice if people who come to the forums to complain about the homes,  the lack of homes, the empty homes etc etc etc,  actually READ the forums and see there is no need to start yet another thread about the same thing.  

    Didn't forget 😉   I read excessively before I jump in lol.  My favorite job  years ago was mostly research ,  so it comes naturally

    @GinaFreumann I don't feel guilty at all for having a house due to the fact I watched for months on end for any mention of the new houses and I happened to find out 2 hours after the release of the first batch. It was just a case of checking out the forums and social media for any mention. Plus I certainly won't feel at all guilty if I do get a house with my paying alt. 

    I don't think anyone thinks you should feel guilty for getting a Bell home, least of all me.  I'd like one someday, & I'm very happy for you.  You'll notice, those complaints are for people who have several.

    they aren't attacked, just pointed at their snowflake behaviour, i don't think people with more than one home/boat really feel guilty about it.. i know i wouldn't, and most likley would consider my alts going premium too, it's too crowded on the family boat now, so many people who want to tuse the one bedroom. not very comfortable.
     

    indeed!...they keep going on, page after page, while it's explained hundreds of times how the releases work and even in what schedule the small releases take place.

    It;s said a few times already, if people need emotional help they need a shrink or other therapy, but for technical issues people can count on the forums. ... pick the one that's most fitting here...

    Four or 5 immediate negative answers to an op, especially one who is new to the forums can feel like an attack.  How would you feel?  And your use of "snowflake" is a prime example, just putting someone down.  I think the "hundreds of times" are not done by one person, but many posters.  I'm seeing more of these opinions as the days go by.  I typically read extensively in a forum before I post so as not to make duplicates, but I understand not everyone does.  I certainly don't slam them for not being familiar with forums.  Your last paragraph is, sadly, an aggressive tone I've seen to many times.

    Wouldn't it be just as nice if those same people did not try to make the ones who have a home (or homes) feel guilty, or call them greedy, or any of the other insults that get thrown out there by some people? 

    That is never going to be well-received and I can't imagine why someone would think it would be. 

    When you attack those few who complain, it makes it look like you feel a little guilty, trying to justify "taking 3 cookies while others go without".  Yes, not everyone will agree with all you do, you can be big enough to let them express their opinions.  Answering them once or twice is understandable, but going on page after page is really unfriendly.

  8. I wish people wouldn't jump all over those who post an opinion different from their own.  People who try hard to get a home without any luck, looking at those who have more than one (and still trying for more), have every right to be unhappy. Its a legitimate reaction.  There's no need to try to make them feel guilty--they feel what they feel, just as you do.  With all the talk of community feeling, it would be nice if we could all accept these differences gracefully. And just let it be.

     

    Stepping off my soapbox now

    I don't think OCD means what you think it does XD what does it have to do with that? I just asked that question cause she said to report that and I would never report someone for things like that lol it was more like surprised oh really?! 😧 XD

    And I think breedables can be cute :D maybe just not in lagging masses, poor neighbours with bad PCs ^^

    Obsessive compulsive...I was referring to the horse lover.  I have a touch of that & know the pull of "more, more, more" 😂  But I've made lots of mistakes , & really appreciate it when someone brings it to my attention.

    I am on super speedy net 400mbits and have a really good computer I usually run around on ultra without having ANY lag but this even lags me down! XD

    Can you really report things like that?

    That is a bit much, lol!   OCD?   But I think the polite thing to do, is speak to your neighbor before reporting.  They may not even know there's a problem.

    I would like to recommend Lindal Kidd's class at Oxbridge University at 12pm on Saturdays on "How to Buy Land". Also, my blog article on "How Not to Buy Land in Second Life" goes into detail on all the mistakes I have made (and continue to make) when buying land in Second Life.

     

    'How Not to Buy Land in Second Life" sounds intriguing.  Could you give a link to it?    I tried googling but didn't find anything but SL's official articles.

  13. I'm wondering now, I just rented a 512 on mainland (and occasionally refreshing for a Bell).  Would the rental mean I wont be able to get a Bellissaria house or boat?  I'd so hate to snag one & not be able to accept it!   🤯

    If anyone can't get there yet here's a quick ride through of the preview area where you can see all the cabins:

     

     

    Thank you for this wonderful tour!  I now see the pull to own more than 1 home, lol.  I lived most of my childhood on a mountain, with a lake at the foot, we'd go down to in the summer.  Living at the ocean has been my dream, but also living in the mountains, looking down at the valley.  In SL I could have both 🥳...512 houseboat & 512 RV.

    Nice Arcadia bus too. Maybe they should call this area Arcadia Bay, LOL (I wonder who gets the reference). Anyway, always wonderful to hear from you again. ❤️

    The longest journey is the journey inwards....ahh, where are you Cortez?    Haha, I thought that was what you were refering to.  I'd so love to wander around in that Arcadia in SL

    Recently Patch moved the time clock up to 'Soonish'.  I'm betting a whole lot of people hope he isn't going by the above Soon™ Timeline

    ewww, to me that would mean "not so soon".  (but I'd rather they take their sweet time & come up with something stupendous anyway)

    We're open to everyone, not just homeowners. There are not nearly enough homes in Bellisseria to have a restricted group, and even if the houses were all finished, we would still welcome visitors to Bellisseria. We also don't care whether the resident is premium or basic. Anyone is welcome to join in and be a part of the community. We look forward to seeing you around Bellisseria. *Just watch out for the Squirrel, she tends to be a bit grabby when it comes to treats.

    Thank you, BJoyful, Script  and fairlyprincess for the warm welcome!    I look forward to meandering around all our beautiful spaces, & promise not to drool on ya  😄
