  1. There was an empty camper parcel on Twofer when I first got mine there.. The person decided to put up a cute little treehouse. It really didn't look awkward there, and was tasteful, and nobody reported it for at least a month. I was kinda sad to see it go finally, I think it was the person moving, and not that it had been returned.
  2. (I think I may have posted something similar before, but my memory is... bad) Hopefully this won't be a detrimental thing to enable nosiness, but if you click on any parcel's about land you can get this info. Maybe it will help you keep your own place in check too Under 10,000 kb is optimal, over 20,000 is bad. I'm just putting this here because if someone thinks a person with breedables is causing region lag, they can easily have a look. Fact is, each breedable might have less scripting than a sofa.. The issue is if they have movement on, or worse yet, are wandering and causing collisions. The example is from my fully furnished cabin parcel.
  3. Slingo. When it was legal to gamble in SL. The slingo regions would regularly completely freeze up and need to restart when there was a good crowd playing. Not lag, just a complete freeze! Some of the gestures people came up for those places were hillarious.I liked a lot of other games too, but shrooms was my fave. I wish so much regulations hadn't changed.. Literally anyone could open a little "casino" wherever they wanted (and I did that too)
  4. Bad idea. For the people willing to abandon their home to try for a better one, they'd have a horrible chance to get anything nice. It would basically force people to pay a fee if they wanted to try for another. That's what's called Pay to Win in the gaming industry, and is a big black mark on companies who do it.
  5. Lots of INFP-Ts here (that's me too) For me at least, it's 100% accurate, every word. Zodiac on the other hand, couldn't be farther from the truth. The appeal for the personality category thing is, it's comforting to know I'm not the only weirdo with weird issues.
  6. It has nothing to do with groups. Some places send gifts to people who never even joined a group. There is a certain plant creator who I regularly get gifts from, but never joined the group at all. I just bought things from them in the past. I can't complain.
  7. I hope the lab gab or whatever it will be, will be announced well in advance (preferably here on forums or even an email) because I don't want to miss it! I'm one of the worried ones, but hearing things from the horses mouth, will do a whole lot to stop the end of the world as we know it thoughts. Just the simple fact they'll be interacting with the community right away already makes me feel better.
  8. Definitely a Millbank prototype, I'll hope the C is fr a coffeehouse and not commercial.. hah Edit: the road is the same as what it looked like when it was first there, maybe it's Millbank CANCELLED Edit again to not post spam: or Community(center)!
  9. yeah.. that's usually a group setting thing, and land owner does always override, you'd need to make a new landmark. For others, or alts, you can control if group members override set landing points.Anyone not in the group will always go to the landing point that you have set, no matter where the LM is
  10. In land options, stand where you want people to land, then click "set" then make sure you have the dropdown for teleport routing set to landing point. Should work, does for me.
  11. The best way to tell if a region is experiencing lag, is to pull up your stats window, and scroll down to where you see the script info. The only two numbers you need to look at I circled in the picture. This is from my home in Porridge Pot in Bellisseria. the scripts run number is "healthy" at 95% or higher. Below that, you may start experiencing lag, but it doesn't get drastic until 50% and under. The spare time is usually fine as long as it's above 2, that's the cushion. In badly lagged regions, that value is usually 0.001, which is essentially saying there aren't enough resources for things (and you!) to work properly. That's what lag is. People sometimes think of low fps as lag, but if that's the issue, it's your graphic settings, and the biggest culprit is draw distance (and shadows, if you have those enabled). People get hit hard in Bellisseria, because there are so many homes and furnishings you're trying to render, even if they aren't on your screen. I do fine at draw 120, which is half a region distance, and really all you need. But if that's still bad, lowering to 64 or even 32 is more than enough for you to enjoy what is within your own parcel, then maybe inch it up a little if you go outside.
  12. I'm behind this suggestion 100%.. Restoring items to last position is incredibly helpful when you can actually do it. I've always wished it was a SL standard on all regions to have the smallest size possible square at 0,0,0 to be set to auto return 10 seconds (or something similar) so this wonderful feature could actually be used by people who don't own a whole region themselves. It's probably too late to retro-fit this, but maybe moving forward at least it can be considered...
  13. I don't know where else to put this. I logged on because I had an offline in my email about objects being returned from a parcel I own because it's full. I expected someone's stray object that somehow pushed mine to be over the limit, but upon arrival, I checked objects on land panel, and they were only mine, and it said only 6 available prims left. Now I'm certain I had at least 20 available before, I always do that to allow for object rezzing in furniture animations, and the objects returned to me added up to 6 LI. Confused, but wanting to get my prims back, I tried linking two mesh objects, but got the message "Server error: cannot complete this operation because mesh data is not loaded." I have never seen this message before, and around half of the items in my home are already linked from before, to lower LI values. Has something gone haywire with linked objects, hence my total prims available going down? Has anyone else been having this happen?
  14. Indeed! You're correct in more ways than one... I'm on the other side of the mountain, and named it Close encounter... If you're very quiet on approach, you may even see an alien with a little box that plays the five tones there. He seems harmless. ETA: OMG I looked and you named it that too, too funny!
  15. My alts definitely are their own unique person, and I am in line with the "different facets of who I am" aspect, but when it comes to Linden Homes, they're just pawns, the homes are MINE! The one exception is my male alt, I felt compelled to decorate in more of a masculine style that wasn't exactly my own. Not that I've ever leaned toward "fluffy" decor anyway, it just felt like being a male, he wasn't exactly part of who I am, and falls more into a RP frame of mind. It's like I was decorating for someone other than myself. This really is a fascinating subject to me. Alts to me, besides utility purposes, have always been for RP or a mood, none have ever had an actual life of their own, save for one, which replaced my main for a few years. Maybe if my main ever got something that felt like home, they could do their own thing with the ones they have, but they *always* get the ones I like best, so the boss takes over
  16. I just did this, because yes, I'm that bored of just scanning the map. I counted.. In the cabin lands, 193 named regions unreleased as of right now, and 34 regions that have been released (not counting the loners) Technically they're all released, as far as I know, and just queued up. When one fills, the next goes. That was how the big release worked last time, and seems to be the same now. With the sheer size of it though, the abandons also go up and most of those, but not all, go right to the front in random order. Hence, the filling of fresh ones has slowed way down. I think the availability might finally be indefinite now
  17. I'm glad you posted that... I've been diligently map stalking, trying to see where the next region will be opening, and have seen the lone homes going, then nothing else. It's making it super hard to target anything, and also makes it hard to not get clicky fingers to possibly get one such random! It's a lot more scrambled than the victorian release was.
  18. apparently Edgmere station, after being down for over an hour, rolled back and re-released, because someone else owned "my" home.. lol (I was going to abandon anyway, but sheesh)
  19. Sometimes, it's just all in fun... Not that I would do anything like that, of course....
  20. Laughs! I turned my draw way up at my Cobbs marina houseboat yesterday, and saw a massive prim in the distance.. I went what the heck is that?!? and cammed in... that's quite a sight over there, I thought.. that *has* to be a mistake, right? Craziness.....
  21. So am I! When they did the huge initial release of victorians and added to it more trads, campers, and houseboats, I felt like they had finally met demand, and that we'd always see choices on the land page. Boy was I wrong. It seems to be a never ending queue of people grabbing.
  22. Normally I don't post homes I'm releasing, to give randoms a chance, and non-forum readers, but I will this time, for anyone looking for a nice houseboat. I decided a couple months ago, neither trads nor victorians really were my thing, so I've had three houseboat homes. I'm letting this one go on my main account at 08:15 SLT, so I can play the game of homes again when cabins are released It's a nice spot, with only one neighboring boat that hasn't been moved into since I got this place just after Christmas. Sunset view is onto an uninhabited island. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Less Watery/125/228/27 (and gone, it didn't get stuck and got taken quickly, enjoy!)
  23. ditto, and watching in-world numbers drop
  24. I always have it open, it's an awareness thing, to know where people are. If it's not up, I feel as if I'm blind in one eye, or have tunnel vision. My radar is always up too, but that's more to see at a glance names of people, not their distance from me. I like seeing property borders on the mini map too. I keep it small, on the lower right of my screen, since it seems the place it interferes with my view the least.
