I was also in the same situation, I stayed there during the 24 hours updating the page "F5", until finally it opened! and nothing appeared for me, I saw an empty house with no owner, yet nothing opened the window of the villages more unfortunately "Bellisseria" was only for the beautiful not for the ugly (Lmao) ... then in the Bellisseria group, I ' 50 houses available runs'! I restarted my explore and logged in and nothing, then I got discouraged and gave up and watched others pick up. I do not know why this happened, but my point of view was that they should have opened these new houses when at least 90% of the existing prize could be obtained, as this causes frustrations and discouragement again with the SL community, I play almost since SL remember the beginning of the sl for being military sometimes was off for a while, as I was 4 years out was on missions by my country. now with more time and trained in programming and graphic designer, a friend convinced me to play "second life", I decided to play again and now with goals in mind to be a creator, even my computer is full of knits that I created, even because "second life is a goalless game, you make your goal here, and the biggest goal and have friendships, but with events like these cause discouragement, and friendships stop playing.
