[Unsure what to do]

Hi, 

So I signed up as a premium member about 3 weeks ago and went ahead and got a Linden home as I thought it would be a good starter. 

And now I slightly regret my decision because while I really LIKE my house and the Bellisseria area I am not in love with it. 

My question is this on whether I could do the following: 

• Abandon my Linden home 
• Buy a parcel on mainland 
• Rent out the parcel on mainland 
• Rent myself somewhere on a smaller island from someone else 

How easy is it to buy mainland right now and what would I need to consider in case I want to rent out the mainland parcel? 

Any advice welcome and appreciated

OOH welcome to Belli! Do a search for Bellisseria Events group and join that, as well as the B. Citizens group. There's a lot of regular events happening around Belli; my favourites are the Belli Blues Cafe (Mondays) and Far's houseboat parties (Fridays) but there are loads more too. Plus, anything and everything that happens in the Fairgrounds which is kind of of the central event space for Bellisseria. There's something going on there usually at least once a month.  Belli people are lovely and friendly and even though I don't live there any more I can't keep away from the parties; I made so many lovely friends there.

This is also super helpful thank you so much. I've joined some groups now. And also things like the cafe is so good to know I didnt even think of looking for it under its nickname Belli

Belliseria Citizens is for the whole new continent.  Also check out the Linden Homes forum.  There are a few events coming up at the Fairgrounds.

Try walking around Bellie and seeing if folks are friendly enough to talk to you.

NCI and The Shelter are good places for new folks.

Contact people from the forums, strike up a conversation.

 

Oooh this is super helpful. Thank you so much

@carolion1989 You mentioned that you have been decorating your home. Do you happen to have one of the new Linden homes? If so, I know there are a couple of groups that residents have started to share events going on in the community, everyone has always seemed very warm and lovely.  To be honest I don't know if I have ever gone to search for groups out right. I know there is a functionality in the viewer to do it , but I don't think its very easy to use which is a shame.

I do, I got one cause I went premium straight away? Is it the residents in your neighbourhood or are they just groups that people started to talk about decorating etc?

where to start? simple really at point A then you move to point B and then maybe to C and pass by D while getting around back to A again.

but.....but.....i have no sense of direction at all.

I think my biggest piece of advice is to join groups! Think about your specific interests in SL, and I am sure there are groups that cater specifically to that. As a person who deals with a fair bit of anxiety, I appreciate that I don't always have to participate in conversations, but there is always opportunity to do so if I choose. It does require a bit of effort to forge friendships just like in the real world, but stick with it.

This is good advice. I think I get easily overwhelmed and I am guessing theres a thousand and one groups? Or is there an easy way to see what kind of groups exist?

hi, 

 

so ive spend the last week on SL and it was a bit of a battle to understand the basics, but I finally got my avatar looking better, i get how to decorate my house etc. 

i am struggling though in how to make friends/where to go. i know theres a few newbie spots and chat friendly locations but i've not had much luck. 

any tips eg any specific locations you can recommend on where i could go? 

and if youre willing to be a guide/friend/someone i can chat to, please hit me up because theres so many things i feel are not that easy to get when you first start off.
