The empty houses I'm referring to, are not rented/owned. If you check under "Parcel Details', it shows Gov Linden. When rented, it shows the person's name. When they pop me into a home I don't like, I mosey outside and look around. I've found some fantastic empty ones with great views. I abandon my house and try again and it sometimes puts me back in the same house. This has happened multiple times in one day. I have to then change my house style, to get it to pick a different location. Don't get me wrong - these homes are a nice perk, but would definitely be even more so, if we could be more self sufficient in chosing our home and not have the process dependent upon having a home selected for us. And the view out of my pixel world, is important. Given a choice, I can't help but believe that the majority of ppl would prefer to see grass, trees or water versus the side view of their neighbor's house. I'm just saying....

I'm a premium member, own land, pay a good $ per month. Although I own land, I want a Linden house, too. I'm also seeing the 'sold out' sign, and have seen it several times over the course of a week. When I am able to get a Linden home, if I don't like it, I look at the map and mosey around to see what else is available. I've come across a slew of homes that are owned by Linden that I would love to take for my Linden home. Instead, they assign one to me, I go look at it, and it's in a horrid location, nothing to see but someone elses house right up against mine. Why doesn't Linden Lab set it up so if you find a home you like, you can right click and rent it? Why do they have to assign the homes? Why can't we browse the neighborhoods and pick out the one we want?

SECURITY ORBS...? Does anyone know what impact this will have on our individual security orbs we have setup on our private property? Can someone change their name to a friend I have given access to, and also have access? Or is there an IP code or some other identifier that the orbs (regardless as to which make and model) will check before allowing access? Thanks for your help. Jocial
