    I had a very easy trade with another resident. They messaged me to ask if I'd swap my houseboat for theirs, so they could be neighbors with a friend. We both relinquished parcels at the same time, banged on the refresh buttons until our fingers fell off, and got the houses we wanted. Sure, some people suck. But there are honest folks out there, too. I probably wouldn't have done it, but I let this particular house linger unfurnished for months. The new house inspired me to try a whole new layout and I decorated it in about two days. 

    Lucky you  :)

    Actually... does it matter if they or their alt gets it?

    If I trade X to you, why should I care if you take it or your alt takes it?

    That noted... the real issue in not trusting a trade is for the person trying to get it: you still have to win the race to click accept on a new home...

     

    Yes, what I'm trying to say also they will not abandon their LH when they ask you for trade, its just a trick for you so that's why you should be  aware  to not trust these kind of ppl  :) that is.

    Two cents from a RL nurse and SL GoH lover:

    Life during Covid-19 is tough and many people probably share this feeling of added stress, and also of having SL as an outlet/escape. Unfortunately bullying in video games is a very real thing. If you every feel bullied or intimidated you should report it immediately. When I read this I knew right away who the 'mother and daughter' were because I live near them, and I blocked them. Shortly after getting my home one of them started contacting me, asking if I would give them my home, sending me notes, and then IMs when I didn't respond. The fellow who lived in a home next to me gave his up because they asked him for his and got upset with him when he said no. I don't care how many alts or homes they have, that doesn't bother me. I do care when they take GoH so far that they are harassing other residents out of their homes. If that occurs, report it. More on that in a moment.

    Covid is an added stress on top of your normal stresses which exacerbates everything else and amplifies it even more. In times like these using our resources, talking to our doctors, practicing aggressive self care, and taking care of our mental health is important. It is easy to transfer real life frustrations, depression, medical issues, anxiety, and all of those normal tough things we feel, into SecondLife. The internet and games can also trigger emotions and bring up feelings we weren't expecting. It is important to recognize when our emotions are being effected by any video game, and if that creeps over the line of upsetting us in real life, to take a step back from it and take care of ourselves first. It doesn't mean you have to keep it off, but it does mean that sometimes disconnecting helps. If any game gets to the point where it's making us angry, cry, or it is no longer therapeutic, take a step back from it and regroup. Talk to someone and know you aren't alone in it. Sometimes changing how we play the game or how much we focus on how others play their game, can also help. Taking care of ourselves is our #1 priority in SL and RL, and that includes recognizing when something is triggering us or becoming hard to cope with.

    There are a lot of people in world. Much like RL (true of every video game) not all of them are people we'd want to live next door too. Fortunately it's easier to move in SL than RL. You can also de-render their items, block them, and bring your fun in game back into focus. We can't control other people or how they play their game. Focusing on what others do and letting how they play their games is a recipe for disaster. Sometimes it means reporting when necessary and other times it means de-rendering items, blocking people, ignoring things we don't like, and focusing on things we like instead. Play the game in a way that is fun for you, if it isn't fun anymore, change it or re-evaluate the situation and your goals.

    Regarding GoH, alt hoards, and the patience it requires to find the community you like AND the home you want. It reminds me of when I play other MMO adventure games. There are always those people who buy their success in any game. Players with tons of accounts and money to throw at their game can be a thorn for a solo player trying to play in the same space. On top of that, some of the people that play games that way can also be trolls who are selfish and only think of themselves. Nothing to do about players like that but ignore them. Games are a business, we wouldn't have a game at all if they weren't profitable, and there is nothing wrong with people having multiple alts or playing GoH if they enjoy it.

    Is it slower to find a home when you have 1-2 accounts and no group of friends who is also doing it? Absolutely, but you can still find a home. You can also give up a home you love (it's so hard lol) to find a better or, or a better set of neighbors.  It took me four months to finally get a cabin and neighbors I loved. You can't let it upset you or other people ruin your game. I find the hunt as fun as I do finding my actual home and decorating it. Also, not all houses are empty for negative reasons. Some of us work 12 hour shifts with Covid, and do not get to play every day or week. I do a little here, a little there. Sometimes a week or three pass and I haven't touched it. Try not to judge other homes because you never know what their lives are like outside SL. How many alts and homes someone has, how quickly they decorate or not, how tastefully they decorate etc, is their business. Play your game your way.

    Another idea is to find others who love GoH so that you can share homes you find with eachother, and have a bigger group of buddies to explore sim releases, and chances at homes with. My friends and I helped eachother find the home we wanted because everyone likes something different. You never know when a buddy might not like a house but you love it. Even if you play solo, it's doable. Even with one alt you can do it. It requires patience, persistence, and allowing yourself to enjoy the hunt. If we can't enjoy it, or it bugs us when the people with more alts play, because that is part of GoH too, there are other things to do, and other places to live in SL, if we need a break. (Damn that Lannister and his alts, where's a fire breathing dragon when you need one!) If the whole thing gets to the point where it isn't fun anymore, we can turn the computer off! Especially in times like a pandemic, disconnecting from media and internet is important. Becoming overloaded with any kind of online media, negativity, or situation that's pushing our buttons isn't healthy. Take breaks as needed!

    PS if anyone needs help finding their forever home or a friend to talk to feel free to message me anytime in game or here. We're in this together. 😃

    Don't Trust ppl who ask you for a trade with  their LH, because when you abandon your LH, they just run away, they tricked you , and let their alts to take your LH also they blocked you and telling other ppl lies about you, they don't even  face you, also using their alts to report you  to LL and make stories ,just be aware from them and enjoy your sl by exploring and reading  by yourself
