I was delighted to get #6, my most recent one and you are right it is nice to be in some space. It's funny I enjoyed sitting at the picnic table behind by houseboat, felt very relaxing.

I am getting them into order now and might get to 2 or 3, 1 is a bit harder!

Now that was a GoH challenge @Faye Blackheart, well done on keeping going and congratulations on getting those two! I have seen a few home and houseboat together combinations and thought no that's impossible. Enjoy them both, you deserve it

I agree #3 and #4 have that extra something because of the protected sandy area. Creating this thread and taking the pictures I realized that the view from #5 is less good although oddly, so far, the end of the road is not a rez zone.

Good question! So far I have been too busy catching and releasing hence the pause and focus on just a few. I love Belli but have alo been playing with my mainland parcel too, also all around water and boats.

It's looking beautiful now, so much to explore and enjoy

Gorgeous spot near the above with a rez zone to help us enjoy all the lovely water

Just enjoyed a go on the zipline in Randelsham Forest, actually there are two, so I should have another go

This is a picture of #6

With apologies in advance for those who don't play GoH I wanted to start a thread asking how people decide which to keep and which to return. I have shared on another thread recently that sailing my boats and exploring is my main passion in SL and so access to water is really important to me. I am quite an immersive character when online as Lloyd so prefer to sail there and back despite having numerous rez zones on the water in my landmarks. Right now I have got carried away with GoH and have 6 Houseboats which is quite a lot and as I am already missing the refresh game, I need to get rid of one or two. Question is which and how would you choose? Feel free to add your dilemmas if anyone is in the same situation. #1 Morden, south facing not far from USS Galaxy, houseboats to the side and back of me #2 Piarra Waters. west facing, not far north from Jeogeot #3 Guilemot Channel, north facing on end of row with sandy Linden beach to the west. The houseboat is the nearest to the camera. #4 Ness, north facing and sailable to Sansara. This time front and back facing pics as it is a lovely area behind #5 Castoff, south facing, #6 Pearlcoast, west facing on the big round lake

The trouble with GoH is that you always want to press refresh again in the hope of something better... I'd have kept it though as I love exploring the waterways and it is well connected .

It's in a great location for enjoying the water along the south west coast of Belli

Commercially LL would surely want to get them out before the holidays which would create a win/win: There would be excitment from existing users who tell friends and family who may join or upgrade and there would be more availability of all LH types due to abandons to get a new Stilt. The only thing, as Patch said earlier in the Group chat, is if the technical glitch isn't solved. After 23rd it won't be before new year due to rdeuced staffing levels (I assume).

Only LL will know the commercial success of Belli, but given its rate of expansion and contractors working on deploying new regions and homes I'd say that not only have paying users jumped up nicely but also average revenue per real life user. Or maybe it's just you me and some other regulars posting here I'm just delighted at what they have created in Belli and it is lovely to see new life in SL!

I feel your pain as I too am addicted to land. I got into the habit when I ran a mainland rentals business but even then despite having nice mainland waterfront parcels by Linden land I still loved the getting away from it all in a Linden Home. Today I just sail my boats and explore all over, no more business, but I still love both land and the Linden homes. I have a 1/4 region in Magenta near the ANWR channel and 6 houseboats. You are a little addicted, I think I'm addicted a lot....!

Well thank you @Nika Talaj! I did have a lot of help from my 5 alts At least LL get a lot more premium fees from me now. I am now noting the features and benefits of each home I 'won' in GoH to see which I would give up to get a Stilt when they are available. I do though really like the one I shared the photo of though so I'm sure that is a keeper. Maybe I just miss the 'refresh game'and the thrill of the chase, it's very addictive!

Delighted to have snapped this houseboat up, close to the Pannamole canal. Beautiful area 😀

Sorry Daniel, what are the purple SSP regions and where are they?

Clearly I'm not the only one checking out the moles expansion efforts

Don't give up would be my advice, also as someone said above make sure you have tier available. First time I got a houseboat option I failed to secure it as all my tier was donated to by group. There are clearly a lot of people upgrading alts (I know I did) which is good for LL financials, but also a lot of catch and release going on hence keep trying. I secured a houseboat and felt confident to release it as I wanted a better location for sailing/exploring by boat. You'll see campers the most and houseboats the least but I promise you will see them after a day or so.

It looks like you are absolutely right, the 'purple' region SSPE1175 looks like it is being worked on by the moles. It is an interesting area, one region notrth is Randelsham Forest which has no Linden Homes, hills, a bridge over the SLRR and a rez zone by a large lake and treehouses. I know I keep saying it but the Moles have done an outstanding job!

I've become obsessed with Bellisseria and its development. I've just climbed Birch Hill and taken this picture in the vicinity and spotted a purple region sky border, anyone know what that means? I've only seen yellow and red previously.

I totally agree, the attraction of the new will drive a lot of abandonment. Good job the automated system seems to work pretty well, I've only seen a couple of minor glitches.

Went for an early morning sail in north east Jeogeot and was rewarded for getting past the wall at the corner of Edmund Fitzgerald and Haneulgil to be greeted by this view at sunrise. Looks like I'm not alone as traffic at the garden is 730 today, though oddly 0 at the rez zone out front

End of the line in SSPE1456
