They haven't been named on the map as of a couple of hours ago.

Since going premium just last week I've managed to snag a total of 9 properties (though the count of distinct properties is actually 7 as I've gotten my own abandons twice!) - all by manually refreshing (with arthritic hands, no less). It really does come down to persistence and luck. All but 2 of my properties were abandons from older regions, and 3, I think, were secured *hours* after the mad rush when regions were released. So throw some time at the process when you can!

"Tomorrow is another day!"

Looks like somebody's got the Pearlcoast house - named it jdkdke or something similar. I hope that's you, Rhyme!

OK, Rhyme - I'll release it at 6:55PM SL time - i.e. in 2 minutes. But keep in mind that I didn't get it until 2 hours after Leora released it, so keep trying.

OK, those of you who are still here. I'm going to release the house in Pearlcoast - have been doing more wandering about, and the still-unnamed regions directly below Pearlcoast (SSPE232), Jefferson Park (SSPE233) and Everett (SSPE234, and below that SSPE250) look pretty much ready - red-lined/red location text. Only SSPE234 and SSPE250 have houseboats, and some of the houses are nicely situated at different elevations or at slight angles to the road. I live in hope. Anyway, the Pearlcoast house is a couple of blocks from the shoreline. Very plain backyard. I'll wait a few minutes to see if anyone is here! Pipe up if you are and you're still looking!

Think I just got it, Leora - a good 2 hours later. At the border with Jefferson? Small evergreens with some rocks out front, boulders in back? As I can't see any other regions with beach houses or houseboats nearing completion (wandered around all the water's edge regions over the weekend, and Pearlcoast was the only likely candidate I identified) I'll stick with it for now. (Said *that* before - hah!) One good thing - I can ride my bike around the neighborhood, not something I could do in Pygmy.

Well, good luck all! I'm off to make some Mexican butter bean soap and cornbread. Will check in later to see if any of you managed to get a home in Pearlcoast! (And the Pygmy houseboat is still unclaimed. Now suffering from a bit of remorse at letting it go... Oh, well.)

Yup, Pygmy houseboat still unclaimed. Door is still wide open.

No. I set up an account for him 10 (?) years ago and he thought the "whole thing is dumb". His avatar is very first gen. And still hanging around a train somewhere I guess.

Well, I'll give it 25 more minutes... My turn to make dinner tonight and my husband's getting a wee bit annoyed as I keep waving him away from the table!

Keep going, Malvina! Still unclaimed!

Nope - still there unoccupied! (I'm standing outside.)

I got it and abandoned it!

I just abandoned the houseboat in Pygmy. *very* laggy, despite re-rezzing the house on 4 occasions over 2 days. Ignore the Rourke label. This is Pygmy.

I just got a houseboat in Pygmy! About 5:25PM SL time Sunday. (My husband will be so pleased that I can now do something other than maniacally click away at my laptop!) Good luck, all, on Monday - I spent time looking around Pearlcoast today and it's *got* to be the next release!

Thank you, Sylvia, that is precisely what I'm talking about.

1) It's important because it's misstating information. If someone counted on that email because they had to close their browser before teleporting (or if they succeeded in getting a home when using their phone) and didn't realize that there's an ability to access their new home later on, that wrong information could cause unnecessary confusion or distress. (I used to design user interfaces for e-learning packages and know there's no good excuse for presenting inaccurate information.) 2) I'm very aware that the home shown isn't in Bellisseria. I did say I grabbed a random home.

Just double-checked by grabbing a random home. The email I've blanked out is correct. Hmmm...

Apologies if this isn't the best section for asking this, but people here are more likely to be able to answer from personal experience. I've 'secured' and then abandoned several Belli homes in the past few days, and recall the 'here's your new home' screen saying that an email has been sent, along with the teleport link that appears on-screen, however I have yet to receive *any* email from LL (other than the one saying my account is now premium). Am I hallucinating the mention of email? (I did change the email account used before going premium as I no longer have access to the one originally set up 10 years ago; the new address definitely appears in my account info.) Thanks- (PS- Yes, I have checked my spam filter!)

I abandoned my Everett and was surprised that I had another go; got one in Jefferson Park which I released, so that's me until next week. Hope some of you were lucky to get good homes!

Probable release - several gone by. Just got one in Everett - keep clicking!!!! Edit: Distant sea view. Will probably release it next week as I'm at my catch and release limit for 24 hours.

Rourke again - same house, just abandoned.

Going to abandon the Rourke house; may regret it, but...

Rourke - not sure if an abandon or not. Partly sandy lot across the road and a bit further from the sea.
