Thanks a bunch for all your answers! But like I mentioned before: I hate mainland out of many reasons and before I go for mainland I will be happy without any home at all. Mainland for me is not an option. Never. Now I know that Plus Members can't even have the small camper plots but no Linden home at all. That is all I wanted to have cleared up.

Hello everyone, I simply need a feedback if I got that right - I have been Premium for al long time and so I've had Linden Homes. My financial status doesn't allow me a Premium any longer, so I did quit a few months ago. Now I have seen that the Plus Membership exists, but the description is a bit tricky to me - English isn't my native tounge. It says Plus Members can have up to 512 sqm. plots on Mainland. I am not keen on Mainland because I know it has to be purchased by auction. And generally, it is an environment which gives lots of freedom but at the same time therefore might be chaotic. Since the campers are on 512 plots, I am wondering if a Plus can claim one of these or has generally no chance to settle in Belli. Thanks in advance!

That's right, at Permaglow there is a small green waterfall at a pond. One of my alts has a Lindenhome at the other side of the pond. I often wondered why the water is so green, lol, now I know. Devil's vortex, eh?

Sure all regions are in the cloud. But concerning the ones migrated a few weeks ago, there haven't been those house rezzer probs like they have with the new ones. So to me, it makes a whatever difference.

I understood Patch like "any house types at the new released stilt and houseboat regions". So I think abandoning at the regions which have been moved to the cloud formerly, a few weeks ago, should be safe. The problem was about the house rezzers not really listening right at the new regions, and as he said "a few days" I am not convinced that abandoning will be okay there.

If you are talking about the chalets......those timberwood stuff houses..... they did not release them. They just revealed what will be the next theme after stilt homes.

Not released yet. Announced for today but Patch also said "if things work out like planned"........

I own a houseboat which is an absolute keeper, and two alts have a Vic and a Trad. But since my main hobby in SL is taking pics and decorating scenes for those pics, a Linden home does not provide me with enough prims. So my main home is a 4096 lot which I rented from a private estate. I love sailable waters, so when the stilts come out, both of my alts will for sure go for them. The 3 Linden homes are also the place where I might invite people whom I do not know very well. My rented land is often too messy because like I said....... I am steadily building new scenes. One day it's "Oh, I am in the mood for taking SciFi pics" and a few days later I might feel like "X-mas is coming...... I should build a nice scene, take pics and use it for virtual Season greetings". Whereas the Linden homes are "what stays"........ a reliable furnished place to say hi to people and for the rare times I feel like "socializing time now!" and not "hermit time".

I would love a pueblo revival adobe-like style, but as tempting the interpretation of the husband sounds........I have my doubts. The door is very untypical to that style. The very first idea I had when looking at the hint pic was "sort of a farm house theme", but I also discarded that idea rather quickly. And @Raspberry Crystal - as a European fellow I do not recognize any style I am familiar with, but since I am not familiar with all existing styles that might not be very helpful It might be somehow mediterranean, but even in the mediterranean areas there are lots of different styles. The only thing the organ pipes reminds me of is the house of the Addams Family, lol. But the picture has not relation to this gregorian style houses we see in the movie. And churches and cathedrals for sure but I really don't think we will get a region full of churches to live in, haha. On the other hand..the Pope's residence is in Italy - which leads us back to mediterranean houses. So I guess they will be Italian or Spanish, something like that.

Hello my fellow Bellis! I had the idea of installing a public boat rezzer in front of my houseboat, so all of you can use it to rezz an inflatable motor boat. Colors of the boat will be random. It keeps up to four avatars. First one entering will be the driver. In case you are new to SL and need instructions, you can click the sign to get a notecard. Here is a taxi to my houseboat: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Siros/38/16/22 Have fun!

Hm. When clicking the link to the "nice free cars", it just leads me to the Market Place starter page.

I use to simply delete each and every copyable item in the order I want to rezz them out in the new home. As the trash bin lists them not alphabetically but in sort of a time order, I open the trash folder after arriving at the new place and rezz them out, cause it feels like they are sorted "room by room". This is the most easy way for me, personally.

It was in 2007 when I stumbled upon SL. I had been playing pc games for a while, but non of them really satisfied me. I was missing the freedom to just walk around and explore the game's world without the pressure of any NPC telling me that the actual quest was sooo sooo urgent and I should hurry to get those 20 furs for the King! On the other hand, I loved games with a good avatar editor, I could spend hours to create the "perfect me". (In RL I have been a fat person since the days of childhood, I haven't had one single slim second in my entire life, so I loved feeling like God and create myself all over again to my liking.) Even now, you are all understanding why I fell for SL, aren't you? Another issue of my life was the desire to own a house. And knowing for sure I could never ever afford that in RL. (Houses in Germany are rather expensive.) I read an online article from a German journalist, who had joined SL, went online each day and blogged about what he experienced. So I suscribed this blog and followed his experiences in SL until he finally gave up the topic and started investigating other stuff. I felt I wanted to make an SL account, but I did not. "Andrea, you know yourself well - if it really is what you suspect it to be, you will fall to addiction on SL. You better avoid that!" was my thought. But I regularly remembered that it exists and my curiousity stayed. Temptation grew. In the beginning of November 2010 I created an account, landed at the tutorial region and spent a few hours there. I am and always was a "reader of manuals" before using something. At that time I happened to be unemployed for half a year, and living alone. So I had plenty of time for SL. I still remember my freebie shop based appearance of my beginnings, like a blonde, fragile fairy girl, dressed in somehow oriental stuff, and always afraid that I might have overseen some point of the TOS, misbehave accidently and get "fired" from Second Life. Hehe. I remember my very first time leaving the tuts............being trolled by some Russian Witches, who haunted me with sort of lightning and spiderweb poofers, so I could not see anything, while they made spooky sounds and were laughing about the scared noob in chat nearby. After standing this situation for about 15 minutes, and not having discovered how to tp, I simply logged off and felt bad for the rest of my RL day. But at my second day in SL I saw two persons at a freebie center, speaking German. And approached them "Oh, do I hear German words here?" They laughed and turned out to be a very kind couple with a heart for newbies, lend (lent?) me a hand and even gifted me with my very first "self chosen skin". We lost contact in 2012 or 2013, but I will never forget them. Quickly I descovered, that, besides my desires to own a house and be slim and attractive, there was way more I had desired in RL and could do it here! As a child I had always wanted to become an actress. But I grew up in the 1960ies, where actors were regarded as "those unworldly, bohemian artists", and my family told me to forget about that and learn a "solid profession" instead. So I found to roleplay. I had always desired to be a photographer. Landscapes and nudes. In RL I could not afford a good camera (remember! - this was before virtual photography approached), and landscapes wouldn't have been a big problem......they were outside waiting for me. But models for nudes? I started to create several different types of models in my account and created a male account for male models, which also tought me, that men are treated different than women. An interesting point to start some social gender studies And so on. I could create a wall of text here - ten years of SL carry so much wonderful moments, drama, friendships, funny days and ........properties. I am still loving to take pics, load them up on my flickr and try to tell stories with them. Creating landscapes, decorating houses. Since I am retired now, and living alone again, I have plenty of time for this second life, which is so much more vibrant than my first one.

I know. Maybe my English isn't good enough to express my thoughts, neither Ronda Huntress nor you got it, so it must be my fault. But it is not really important...... no need to tell you that there is a background story to this, which you cannot know....... Sort of an insider. Forums may be the wrong place for such "insiders". Sorry.
