  1. Just to be clear. If an Event region is copied to a Full region (Land Capacity allowing as you note), are you saying the Full region just gains the Event region's contents + landscaping, but none of the product benefits (e.g. the increased avatar count, extended chat range, etc.), and so remains at the $249 tier. OR are you saying the Full region to with the Event region is copied is "upgraded" to Event status and "gains" all the associated Event benefits (along with a corresponding increase in tier)?
  2. I gather from what's been said elsewhere and what I've heard from those who attend some of the larger shopping events, this new region product was tested "in the wild" across a number of actual events.
  3. At times I wish LL would be more definitive in their blurb. "IaaS: Instancing as a Service - Request to have your region duplicated to another region." What, precisely does this mean? What are the limitations? Do you genuinely mean simultaneous instancing, on an on-demand basis (e.g. I can simply request another instance of my event to be spun-up based on the demand I'm seeing - and request it is taken down when demand drops below the level where it is no longer required)?. Am I limited to just the one instance (as the wording perhaps implies), or can I have more than one? Is instancing covered by the "original" region's tier, or is a surcharge applicable? If so, how much? If none of the above, then clarification, please!
  4. Not entirely correct. Maturity filters are located on the left side of most search results (I cannot say "all", as have not checked everything, but I assume it would be reasonably consistent!). Altering them via said drop-down will cause an automatic refresh of results to reflect selected maturity level(s).
  5. Sneaking up on the Slender Man in Bellisseria ....
  6. The tutorial is lengthy, apologies for that! - but there is also a primer - https://modemworld.me/2020/04/21/environment-enhancement-project-a-primer/ . When I can get it back to a manageable length, I will publish my Day Cycles tutorial (which also covers using phases of the Moon for night-time). Unfortunately, Day Cycles are a part of EEP that are really easy to grasp, but have so many permutations, it's hard to determine where to draw the line on a meaningful tutorial. AFAIK, the ability for EEP settings to persist across log-in session wasn't adopted by the official viewer - presumably due to the shared experience.
  7. Maestro and Nat Linden are the engineers responsible , as noted on Twitter by Alexa Linden.
  8. Methinks someone watched the SN10 launch / flight ... 😉 .
  9. Oz, Very sad to hear the news - for the last 11 years you're very much been a pillar of Second Life, and it's always been a pleasure speaking with you, as well as witnessing all you have done for the viewer environment and the platform as a whole - and most of all, in having opportunities to witness and share in your sheer enthusiasm for the platform and the world within it. That said, I wish you all the very best for the future, and perhaps one day when the world is back to some semblance of normality, I be able to take you upon that offer a coffee and a chat when I'm on your side of the Atlantic! If I don't get the chance to chat with you in-world before the 26th, take care of yourself and yours and (again) all the very best for the future. Inara
  10. As per other comments - Stilt Homes well be released once the migration of services to the cloud has been completed and LL are ready to start rolling with region availability once more. Premium Plus had been planned as a new higher cost (with more options) subscription account, with an original target launch date of "after Last Names". However, it was officially placed "on hold" in mid-2020 for several reasons (including people's finances being hit by the pandemic situation as companies sought to reduce costs by people people on furlough, + a re-focusing of eeforts on the cloud migration). Currently, Premium Plus remains very much on the back burner, and is simply being referred to as something LL are "still considering" when raised at user group meetings. As such, I would not expect it any time Soon(TM).
  11. I'll continue to cover Premium Plus (and other changes through my weekly summaries, as mention is made / updates are provided. For the Premium aspects, news generally comes through the monthly Web User Group meetings which I attempt to summarise ASAP after each meeting. I also attempt to provide information on all technical. etc., updates and releases through a variety of reports, often in support of the Lab's own blogging.
  12. Ummm... Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as at 5:19 PST / SLT on November 12th: The release notes links to the 532376 SLS and RC deploys point to the 532553 releases notes The notes above don't provide a link to the 532553 release notes.
  13. Considering I've recently written an entire piece on both of the release processes, viewer and simulator, I'm more than a little embarrassed about getting my version numbers muddled up above!
  14. Yeah. Home just rolled. I was additionally confused as we have a gallery space on the local cluster of region, and that and the home region used to roll pretty much simultaneously - we couldn't simply jump to the gallery to avoid the home roll or vice versa.
