So just to be clear... if you are currently premium, and say it renews in September, and you pay the additional year now, does it add a year starting from now or does it add the year on AFTER when your current cycle ends in September? Also, is there going to be any increase in the weekly allotment of Lindens we get? I always thought it was pretty fair and almost evened out. Never really needed my free house because I have land. But now it seems that may not be the case much longer.

Found one on my houseboat sim today at Menagerie. The Bellisseria ghosts are multiplying.

If anyone would like me to make you a simple texture of a house number to put by the front door on your house or houseboat in Bellisseria let me know. It's nothing fancy but I think it is a neat touch to add on. You can see the number texture at my houseboat (look next to the front door outside) at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Menagerie/133/4/23. It will look exactly like that. Pretty simple. Just a plain, flat, transparent texture. I will need you to stand outside, on your parcel, directly in front of your front door, copy the SLURL, and give it to me either in here or message me in world. The house number will be based on that SLURL. Not charging anything but if for some reason I get an insane number of requests I may not be able to fill them all. Let me know what SL name you want me to send it to.

:::waves::: hi neighbor!

You got an amazing location Ruslana! Job well done on your houseboat. Love the rustic decor and the artwork is sooo pretty!

Thanks for the tip Thomas! I will look into that. And thank you everyone for the compliments on the house

Update: Seems I am always a day late and a dollar short. There is a parade of homes maintained by Script Alchemi and there is a post about it on the following link. Contact him in world if you want your home added to their list. Didn't realize it before making this post but I am glad someone let me know about it! If you're interested, here is a link to my place if you want to drop in and take a peek. Feel free to tell me what you think, love it or hate it. Bring warm cookies, or baked breads, or something equally yummy. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Menagerie/133/3/22

Thanks for the video. I think that is officially the weirdest thing I will see today but I liked it

Agree on the why. Good explanation on the LOD issues too. Although anymore if you don't have a good computer then SL is extremely difficult to do much in. Most people who have an older or lower quality computer will not enjoy SL as much as they should, and if it is that bad likely won't stay because all they ever do is lag, freeze, or crash. It's pointless for them. I think LL would be better off going with less primmy stuff and design for the new here and now rather than for the old ways. My thoughts on it anyway.

It's a unique idea and I am always for anything unique. I think if that was the way the whole area would be it would be neat. No land under it just sim water. Even a little higher up like in the 300-500 range maybe so it is more sky than water. My only negative thought would be that it would be more prim heavy for them to create. My RL husband would be all for a cave in the ground. There is another thought to add in somewhere else. I'm easily picturing him as a little hermit. Somehow the thought of sticking him into a cave isn't terribly unappealing. Is that wrong? lol

It's a pretty cool spot. I have nice neighbors so far that I have met. Hopefully people will stay active after the newness wears off. I see a lot of people active in the water as well. The spot is one that is turned horizontal toward the water which I prefer and it is on an end. I would have rather it was along the land edge instead of in this giant cluster of boat stalls out in the ocean though. I am really hoping that LL doesn't start to turn things into crammed clusters of mess again. Seemed like when the old premium houses started out they were all around parks or nicer areas then just went downhill after that. This already looks more crammed than how things looked across the way on the main continent. Less area decor and space. Crossing fingers that it all continues to stay nicer areas going forward.

Well that's pretty awesome Guess I'm on the block with the cool kids LOL .... I better straighten up!

No, it is another Linden but their profile says they are an employee.

No, it is on Menagerie. Great name! Not complaining at all personally. I miss the days when the Lindens mingled among us! It is an actual houseboat plot. The one right next to me.

I am seeing that several of the plots around me say they are owned by Lindens. This seems odd to me. Are the Lindens going to be intermingling with us again like in the old days? Or are these plots that are released here and there? Hmmmmmm

Bounces around whooping and hollering like a crazed lunatic while the dogs look at me like I am nuts and the neighbors on the next block hear me yelling.......... I GOT ONE!!!!! Oh my goodness, finally! I guess posting in the forum was my lucky charm!! Woohoooooooooooooooo now to go see where it is and crossing fingers it is an amazing spot!

Hello all. I've been a forum stalker mainly but this recent change of events has brought me out of my shell. So hi! It has me labeled as a newbie currently, I guess because of that, but I am far from it. I have been in SL for over 9 years and a premium member for almost that entire time. Like so many others I am (im)patiently waiting on a houseboat. This rush to the new homes for premium is amazing. I did go and look around the new continent and the lots are larger with better landscaping and a much better community feel which I am thrilled to see. The old premium areas, in my opinion, were ok in the beginning but as time went on and SL improved by leaps and bounds they quickly became more of an eyesore than anything. There was no community feel whatsoever. Houses were dropped wherever and on top of each other. It was chaotic and ramshackle. This new update has been needed for a long time and I do believe this is why there is such a wave of people wanting out of the old homes. Normally I would think oh it is just the next new thing and people always want in on the newest craze, but in this case I do not think that is the main drive behind it. My hope is that the Lindens see how excited and happy we all are about this and keep things rolling out at a quick pace in order to curb some of the growing frustrations by people that are still left out. Which is a lot of people. I read somewhere someone had quoted that as of the beginning of the month there were 60,000 premium accounts. That's an overwhelming number of new plots to be created and the "gold rush" as I like to call it is real. Not only is it important to all of the current premium accounts but I think it will draw even more people to become premium. Although I am very happy they started this new project I almost wish they had waited until they had a much larger number of areas ready to release in order to satisfy a larger portion of the premium populace. Yes, there was a good chunk put out but it just wasn't enough. Because of that, they have more frustrated and unhappy clients. Sort of a no win situation. Anyway, back to the reason for my post. I'm curious what brought you to want in on the new homes? Was it only because it is something new? Because you like the new house look? The layout of the new continent? For me it is definitely the new design and the ability to now live on the water. If I ever get there that is. Hope to see you all out there enjoying the new space and chatting with the neighbors!

There are a ton of people waiting. Myself included. Sure would be nice to get some regular updates on progress or what to expect. I've been premium for ... how long now... eight or nine years. Guess I'm just not lucky. Still waiting on my houseboat

Well I guess I am no longer just a forum stalker. Now it labels me a newbie. LMAO wow

Join the crowd. A whole lot of people are doing the same. Me included.
