    Any guesses on which region will be released today? 

    I hope there is one released today! 

    Of the 5 that appear ready, Gangway is the most likely, I think, as it's the next in the grid. But Porthole and Beluga Sound are both small regions in terms of houses/houseboats so it would make sense for them to be released together. Gangway, Beluga Sound, Walrus Beach and Porthole all have houseboats; Limevale is still partially undeveloped in this screengrab, however it may contain some of the trailers that we can't see. (I'm a bit confused by the difference between SSP and SSPE-designated regions, because a screengrab that someone else posted a couple of days ago in another thread included a map showing the progress on trailer/camper areas used numbers the same as in this map only without the E, and the topography looked like the area shown for Limevale and regions to the immediate west of it.

    How do you even release the current home? 

    When you're in-world, go to your existing home then open the menu at the top of your screen: World > About Land > General > Abandon Land (button will be highlighted in the bottom right of the box). But make sure you take all your furniture etc. back into your inventory before you do this!

    Thank you, just got one! 😄 I didn't apply actively because I am not really a hopper and thought thus I don't quite fit in. If I ever manage to get a houseboat I will cling to it until the end of SL The only reason to let go of it again would be an assortment of the most horrible abusive neighbours ever.🤣    Wait a minute ... considering my bad luck ... 🤔 ... I might become a hopper sooner than I want to ... 😮

    No need to be as fickle as some of us - it's just a way to gather the people who have been interacting here on this thread... because I'm nosy as to how folks decorate their homes and figure I'm not the only one, and because it's the best way I can think of to cultivate some new SL friendships ;) (When I was here 5+ years ago, most of the people I encountered in-world were, shall we say, less articulate than you guys, and I let my account languish.)

  4. I've begun sending invitations to people in this thread for the Belli Home Hoppers group - accept if you're interested, ignore if you're not! In a couple of months when we all get settled (fingers crossed), I hope we can set up some open houses so we can see what others have done with decorating and landscaping! If you know of anyone who would be interested (like your Alts), just send me a message in-world and I'll add them to the invitation list.

    Caught a houseboat on Doran about 10 mins ago. Nice outlook but very laggy and in a highly concentrated Houseboat area. Released but hasn’t gone straight back into the pool. Hopefully someone with a better connection can enjoy it.

    From my own experience (with a decent connection) and from what I've read elsewhere, lag seems to be more of a problem with the houseboats than the houses, which is why I'm going to pursue a house in tomorrow's clicking exercise - all of the ready-to-be-released regions have nice topography and coastline, and having wandered through all 5 of those regions , I'll be happy if I get any of the houses (and ecstatic if I get one of the ones in Porthole). But there are also lots of houseboats coming up in all but Limevale.

    I wonder the same thing that is a nice spot but I guess people have there reasons. Some of the houseboats in Walrus Beach I can tell you wont have such a nice view some of them are not very spaced out between them.

    Definitely the best houseboat area I've 'acquired', and would have kept it if it weren't for my daydream of a Porthole house ;)

    I think the wait is for region Gangway to release. It has more to offer than just Homes in the other regions. Gangway Houseboat issues when finished region release sometime today or it might wait to Monday. San Alejandro only today because some think Limevale is not ready. It's one or two of those regions. 

    You keep talking as if you have inside info as to what will happen. What issues with Gangway's houseboats? Why do you think only San Alejandro today? Porthole and Walrus Beach have 'looked ready' for days. The only iffy one I can see is Limevale because part of it is still undeveloped.

    2 traditional homes popped up in last 5 minutes 12:15 EST.

    Alas, that was me getting, abandoning, getting, abandoning a house in Longridge. Dull plot on very suburban street. I even let Belli go by 3 times, but still got it again. :(

    FWIW, the second time I clicked on it, it appeared as the first option, so I thought (wrongly) that by then I was clicking on a new release.

    Has anybody been in one of the regions just before the restart and release? Is there still the region restart warning and countdown or do they just do a manual hard restart and you're logged out?

    I was in Gangway the day it and the other 5 southern regions were given names - the re-start notice was different from what I'd seen before - an outlined white box in the middle of the screen with a countdown accompanied by a loud claxon noise. But then nothing was released! (Need to double-check what day that was..)
