    i'm seriously confused as to how people are finding out that these few homes are even available when they pop up...can someone walk me through the process of knowing??? i know i know...noob question 😜

    By pressing F5 every 2 seconds or with Auto Refresh Plus or other automatic refreshers. ;)

    I don't think the reasons given against a list approach are very convincing. It would be an automated process like call waiting. You would have one list for boats another for houses, simple first come first served. If you give up your allocation then back to the bottom of the list if you want another. It would remove uncertainty and stress in the current system and remove any advantage for those with better connections and nimble fingers. 

    The only unfairness I can see would be from the release time and people complaining they were at work at the time of the release... But that objection is weak since it is shared by the current system. 

     

     

    And if, for example, a new premium member or whoever on the list gets the number 25986 - hard luck!?

    Those who try harder than others should also be rewarded.

    If that were the case, so many people would not be complaining about it...and learn to read as I said "Most" not "most people". If you are going to quote, quote correctly.

     

    I join ananoelle and agree with her:

    I suggest the 'most people' you speak of, take some time once and a while to visit your account page or these forums. 

    This didn't happen overnight. (See above threads)

    I'm not in the SL time zone and suspect (suspect because I am not certain but would like to find out) they're being announced in the dead of my night and are all taken before I wake up. 

    That's not right. The 2nd batch came around 6 pm German time. The Americans were the stupid ones because they all had to work. And the first batch...it was sold out in 48 hours. You know that. ;)

    So those who have never had premium before but signed up at the right time got new houses and those of us who have been waiting patiently for years are reduced to refreshing like crazy for weeks or wait until more are released.

     

    Premium for almost three years. I also got a Linden Home with the first batch

    From the tone of all her previous comments I doubt she meant it ironically.

     

    I just wanted to appease.

    @Angie Really? Hourly rate not fixed price? Well maybe that sheds some light on why completion is unpredictable and takes so long! 😉

    I found that out on wiki.secondlife.com. I don't know exactly. Also not whether they are paid in $ or L$.

    But what I do know is that LL doesn't want Copy Pasta and manually creating new continents/linden homes is very time consuming and labor intensive. There are also new themes being developed that will be exhibited on SL16B.

    I can understand your frustration. But if you really want a new Linden Home NOW, use AutoRefresh Plus. You'll see, the Linden Homes are eagerly waiting for you with this thing. 

    Where there's a will there's a way. You can do it! ;)

    In case you didn't know, the Moles aren't paid to do what they do.

    The Moles are Resident builders, scripters, texturers and sculpty-makers empoyed by Linden Lab to work in the Linden Department for Public Works (LDPW). They are paid an hourly rate.

    VAT is not the responsibility of LL. If you have a problem with VAT take it up with your politicians and government officials.

    Now it's dawned on me. Tyvm! Unfortunately it's too late now. ;(

    And ... I don't have  problems with VAT, btw

    decided it was better to just keep my mouth shut

    I agree with you, because at least Leninah's percentage calculation is correct. ;)

    In many European countries, monthly or quarterly payments are also subject to VAT. Only the annual payment method is VAT-exempt. No idea how high the VAT is in Leniah's UK, in Germany it is 19%.

    "Several more months" is quite a bit more than "a few months", at least by my usage of those words - and taking in to account LL's usage of Soon™

    I know my English isn't perfect. I guess I just don't understand some of them properly. hehe

    Thank you :)

    1) We've decided we are able to continue offering Quarterly premium payment options to new signups for several more months, until we are ready to unveil the new SuperDuperPremium plan.<<

    So in a few months, we'll know more. ;)

    Stipend was higher once before and they allowed people to retain the higher rate when it levelled at 300 Lindens, so who knows they might rinse and repeat. 

    Wishful thinking I realise but would have me seriously considering keeping all my alts whereas more 'fluff' and at least 3 would go.

     

    Also for me it would only be interesting if the plot size, the land impact or the stipends would be increased.
    And I don't believe that the latter MUST be accompanied by inflation.

    Ich hätte auch gerne einen Zaun aber meinen haben sie retoruned obwohl er zu 100% auf meinem Grundstück gewesen ist. Eine Antwort hab ich leider nie erhalten

    Ein Zaun darf die Höhe von 160 cm nicht überschreiten. Meiner steht dort seit Mitte April. ;)
