I don't know if the delay was intentional or if it just happened that way due to circumstances. I'm not heavily involved in that process on their end or know what (if anything) prolonged the release process. A grid emergency? A flood of support calls to the office? An unscheduled meeting? Lunch? But... and you might want to think about it this way... does it not make good sense from a business standpoint to try to keep the perceived value of P+ membership as high as possible? And wouldn't one of those ways be by making sure Premium Plus members were getting maximum benefit out of the perk of being able putting in tickets for home locations.

Released means the parcels in that region have been made available to residents. If the land is group owned by LDPW it is has not been released. If the region names starts with SSP it has not been released. That is why the support page dissuades premium plus members from putting in tickets for locations in regions that start with SSP, because it can be several weeks before that location is released. There is no way for residents to know when a region will actually be released, and no... we will not tell you.

They are Victorians, so they are 1024. 2048 parcels will be a whole new theme.

Hi Sapio. There is a 2048sqm Linden Home option in the works. We just have to complete making and releasing it. As far as using the remaining 1024 on Mainland, not all land on mainland is expensive. Sure the really nice ones in desirable locations, but if you look at available properties you can usually find a good deal somewhere. And yes, adult land seems to always be more expensive. Are you planning on opening an adult business or club and that is why you need adult land? If you are not, you don't necessarily need land on an adult region. Land on a Moderate region should do just as well, and will probably cost much less to buy.

Yes... it runs in a loop between the Newbrookes and Chalets

The Eastern Loop has rez zones at every station. The Western side has zone mostly at community regions and places where the line ends.

Wiser words have never been said

No color. Wait until the region is released (no border and not named with SSP at the beginning). https://lindenlab.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/31000167487-premium-plus-faq#I-heard-that-Premium-Plus-members-can-request-specific-Linden-Homes-for-themselves.-Is-this-true? "Premium Plus members can request a specific Linden Home, as long as the home is not occupied, the region is released (if a Linden Home region begins with "SSP", it is still unreleased), and they do not currently have another Linden Home."

The Winchester and Westminster Trad Houses have all just been updated with the original door swing on the upper floor double doors. Re-rezzing the house will give you the updated version.

We are looking into it. Since much of the Lab is off for the holidays the soonest we could address the issue would be next week.

As a side note, we periodically go through regions at random looking for incorrectly set security devices. A large majority we find are indeed incorrect and get returned. The Covenant outlines the requirement if you use security other than the one we provide for residents. It states: "*Security devices are only allowed if they comply with the following restrictions: -Minimum of 15 seconds warning time (no shorter) -Eject from parcel only (not teleport them home) -Effective range cannot include the airspace between 400m and 2000m (to allow for people to fly overhead but not in the air space where skyboxes are allowed) -Does not add names of ejected persons to the parcel ban list automatically" Anyone can view and read the Linden Homes Covenant in its entirety by going to World > About Land > Covenant anywhere in the Bellisseria continent. You can also find it here: Linden Homes Covenant

To make it easier you don't have to get the security system by unpacking it from the content pack anymore. You can just get the security system by itself from the controller menu.

Alwin is correct. You can find the Forum Participation Guidelines here. What you are describing would likely fall under the category of Interpersonal Disputes or Personal Negative Commentary.

There are a variety of waterways in Bellisseria. Some are deep and wide, others are shallow and narrow or have low bridges. Some might only be suitable for medium or small boats, or boats without a tall mast (if it has physics). I try to make waterways as navigable as I can, but I can't make every boat fit every waterway. I once saw where someone tried to rez a huge warship in a tiny little creek. Just like in the real world you have to pick your craft accordingly.

Linden Homes don't count against your parcel LI because they have a root that is anchored outside of the parcel. With houseboats, if the house was flipped or rotated the root would likely be on your parcel and the house would either get returned, overflow the parcel or use up most of your parcel's LI.

AFAIK the new houseboats are not at the Expo (at least I know I did not set any up there). The new houseboats are an upgrade to an existing theme rather than a theme reveal. Every houseboat parcel (new and old) has them as an option now. If anyone wants to see them "in the wild" I rerezed all the houseboats on some of the regions around SSPSteelhead Shoal.

It only means the house controller update allows us the ability to mix more themes together when we build regions. Previously certain themes did not work well from a technical standpoint in the same region as certain others because of subtle differences in the controller scripting. Now they all play nice with each other (with the exception of Fantasy due to the bioluminescence scripts). Each parcel still only can rez homes from that theme. It doesn't mean we would put a Sakura house right next to a Traditional or Camper (and we very likely wouldn't for aesthetic reasons). It only means that we could... if they were separated by enough distance it made sense even though they are both in the same region.

It was an April Fools joke yes... and the joke really was how at first it seemed like "Oh, that's really cool" until you walk around it and really start to think about how it would (or more accurately how it wouldn't) work. People saw for themselves what many of us have been saying from the beginning. An urban apartment environment does not really work well for Linden Homes. Many many many people didn't believe us until we actually showed them something along those lines. It looks cool from a long distance, but people wouldn't want to actually live in one.

We've sent out an update fix to all the house controllers. Hopefully that will fix the issues people have been reporting with it not recognizing them as the parcel owner and make them able to once again switch house models and receive content packs and security systems from the controller.

Just for clarification, it is not a problem with the status of your account. It is with the script recognizing the person touching it as the same person who owns the parcel. We are working on a fix but in the meantime touching and holding the controller for a few seconds and letting go will reset the script. That seems to help when it comes to being able to switch house models or rerezzing the house.

Terraforming down would also lead to unwanted consequences like people digging their whole parcel down as far as it would go. Even if that is only 3 meters, that is still a lot. There is no mechanism for reverting a parcel after it is abandoned or changes hands. It is a manual process. I can easily see how a system for reverting land when it changes ownership would have many disastrous consequences as well, so you'd have people getting houses that were previously abandoned with watery holes dug in them and they may not know how to flatten it again. Plus the fact that sharp terrain level changes could pull part of the terrain outside their parcels down or make it jagged and bumpy... creating walls, fenceposts or plants floating above the actual terrain. Add to that complaints that they want to make a pool 2m deep, but the region water level is 1m below grade in their location, not enough to make a pool using Linden water, but deep enough it interferes with their pool.

I only installed those at the airstrips after conferring with the creator (who gave me an unbranded version). If we did put any out at LDPW locations it needed to be as universal as possible (not limited to only the creators planes). The way the pumps work they should already be compatible with many other brands the system "knows" https://shergoodaviation.com/aircraft.php The creator also made the fuel protocols open and provides a method for creators to add their custom channel when configuring an aircraft type in the database and has updated their documentation to include a link to a page for creators with the fuel pump protocol description for the pump. https://shergoodaviation.com/wiki/index.php?title=KellyFuel TL/DR: The pump we used is free of branding, can be used by many other brands already and is open for other creators to make their planes compatible with it if they wish at no cost.

We call that "Mainland"
