Walking through a furniture store, and saying out loud "I wonder how much Land Impact that couch has..." 

[A brief note on pricing changes, which ran long.]

Thank you for listening to feedback and leaving the number of basic groups as they are. Much appreciated. 

I haven't gone through every page here so I don't know if this has been answered or not, but... My question now is, why wasn't this announcement about the price changes sent via email to all SL users? These are very important changes, and not everyone is on the forum and or reads the official blog. 

I mean, I got the email from Sansar about their recent "No more  transaction fees". Just curious to know why Linden Lab hasn't done the same for Second Life...? 

[A brief note on pricing changes, which ran long.]

Most of what I want to say has been more eloquently said by so many others here. All I want to say is that after this announcement, I went to my one alt premium account and reverted her account to basic. I could barely afford her on premium before, but made do. Now there's hardly any incentive for me to keep two premium accounts. Ten groups more? More offline IMs? Sorry, I can't afford even that price increase for something I personally don't need.

If in the future there are more perks (ie. higher weekly stipend, higher LI limit, free choice of new LL homes), then I'll reconsider upgrading my alt back to premium. As it is now, it's a no from me.

Edit to add: I don't think it's necessarily unfair that there's a price increase. But I do think that you should add more incentives for people to want to go premium or at least stay on premium. I don't think it's a good idea to take stuff away from basic account users (like reverting to 35 groups) and expecting them to be okay with it when they contribute just as much or even more than premium members through their purchases. Give more within reason for the price increase, don't take away things that people already have.

I came across this on my travels over Bellisseria, and thought it might be interesting for others to see it too....

Found up the mountains near Fox Chase:

A new Linden Homes security system? A sleeping giant stuck in the mountain? Linden Labs trolling us? The Illuminati?

Theories? 🕵️‍♀️

[Old housing community vs New one]

I'm wondering if the old houses had a sense of community or did people keep to themselves? What makes the new continent better? Just wondering how the "olden days were" and why we are so excited for this continent. I hope not just because of new and shiny.

I'm a new premium member and the places that I use to rent never really had a sense of community. The landlords would have some events but hardly anyone showed up.

I've only been in sl 5 1/2 yrs and have always longed for community. But most say that happened in the early yrs of sl and I missed out. I really hope this attitude of bonding, friendliness and community lasts. 

😍

The only sense of "community" I got out of my old Linden home happened once, a few weeks after I got my house. I was just changing my clothes and skin in my house, you know, normal stuff.

I suddenly get an IM out of nowhere, asking me to TP them to my location.

Mind you, at the time, I didn't know anything about parcel visibility. So in hindsight, I was most likely visibly naked to outsiders camming in. And this random dude just... wanted to TP to me without even a Hello first.

Left me with a very, uh, "strong" community feeling 😂....

I spent all day decorating my new houseboat! I chose to turn my houseboat into a public barcade/party boat, which I named The Drowned Mouse! Here you'll find lots and lots of games, a great pool deck with floaties and cuddles, a fire pit, a bumper boat rezzer so you can go zooming around the atoll, and a riding horse rezzer so you can do all of your beach horseback riding! Located just a short walk down the beach from the Squishy Pickle! Come and check it out

I don't have any *pretty* pictures from Squishy Pickle Bar party, but I have this one, it's right when all the fun started, and it makes me smile.

Aww, I wish I had been in the same timezone so I could've been part of it XD 

Welcome new Bellisserians! ❤️

I have a dumb question since I haven't had a Linden house in like what, 12 years?

Once I get my home (fingers crossed!) will I have to actually log in right away or can I log in later on? I'm at work and I'm able to get to the web page easily to claim the house but not sure if I'll be able to actually log onto SL until I arrive home later in the day. I did download Firestorm on my work computer yesterday just in case I have to but obviously would prefer not to have to do this. I'm management but it still probably wouldn't look good LOL

You can just "claim" the house via the webpage, and you can then click the "Go to your home" button to go to your house inworld. You can log in later if need be

Was looking and camming around a bit earlier. They've done such a gorgeous job! I'm excited for the new homes, even if I'm not going for one of them. And I'm happy for everyone who will be able to get a beautiful home in Bellisseria

Lucky I got to see them before they left. Had a nice chat about the state of the greenery around Bellisseria... 😉

the discovery of the Bellisserian vortex. Tara messaged me as I logged on this morning to show me something odd on the map.

So I teleported to the neighboring region and saw this.

60 ghosts and an airplane stuck in the invisible barrier. Strange!

I went there earlier and cammed in. Found a helicopter too:

 

We have ourselves our very own Bermuda Triangle... The Bellisseria Triangle, if you will 😉

That Star Trek sign made me 🤣

[The Linden Homes Photo Thread]

Hello everyone  

This is my first time posting in the forum, but I've been a member of SL since 2010. However, I took a loooong break - from around beginning of 2012 to around mid last year. I came back because I was always left nostalgic about my experiences in SL. When I came back, there was a steep learning curve. But I let myself sign up for a premium account, and had myself one of the original Linden homes in the Radium region. I liked it.... but it was too stuffy, too prim restrictive. So when I saw the Linden Homes preview on the Destinations tab, I looked around and got really excited. When I heard they were released (by perusing the forum here), I jumped on claiming one.

And after two weeks of moving bits and pieces and adding and subtracting stuff, I'm ready to share some photos

Sorry for all the photos on my first post, but I was too excited and would have included more, but I'll leave it for now (or until I do a major change)
