Persephone Emerald

What percentage of people who get a Linden Home in Bellesseria do you think actually read the covenant? What percentage of people taking your Mainland 2.0 regions do you think would read and follow a covenant for it? Do you think LL has enough Moles or Lindens to monitor all these new regions to make sure no one has low hanging skyboxes or walls over 10 m high? They can't even fully monitor rotaing signs or Adult content on Moderate or General land now. They will always have to depend on other residents policing and reporting their neighbors, which would be less likely to happen in scattered regions than on distinct residential continents such as Bellisseria. Let me suggest another version of Mainland 2.0. What if LL were to complete Corsica IV by adding a river and adjacent protected Linden land, then continuing the continent with regions that allow commerce, but forbid skyboxes below 2000 m or walls higher than 5 meters? These regions should have Linden roads, and should allow the buying and selling of parcels 256 square meters or greater. No rotating signs. All regions to be Moderate land. This would be a small experiment in more restricted mainland, so see how popular it might be. In keeping with the more adult side of SL theme for 2024, I think they might also complete the Zendra continent and add a Bellisseria-style Adult residential continent, accessible from Zendra.

Just to clarify, the only way people can return your prims, your tenant's prims or your group member's prims is if they are at least partially on their property.

LL isn't going to change the rules for existing Mainland because doing so wouldn't be worth the confusion and customer disgruntlement this would cause. Given the popularity of Bellisseria, however, they might want to try similar development of Adult residential regions or some kind of Mainland 2.0, both of which could limit skyboxes to 1000 m or above. I hope they'll finish the coastline of Zindra and Corsica IV as well.

@Sid Nagy is mostly correct, but forgot one option. You can purchase a Plus account, which is less expensive than Premium or Premium Plus. This lets you buy 512 m of mainland (175 Land Impact). You could also purchase more tier, which would allow you to buy more land, but would cost you a monthy maintenance fee. 512 m isn't generally enough land for a house and furnishings, but might be enough for a simple skybox. Apple Fall has an excellent free skybox called New York Appartment. Other low land impact skyboxes are also available on Marketplace or inworld. The best value is an annual Premium subscription for $ 99 US, which lets you either buy 1024 m of mainland (with no monthly fees) or pick a free Linden Home. p.s. You can also add a skybox or platform over a Linden Home, as long as it is at 2000 m above or higher.

No. You only need to know how to do stuff. You can learn some building skills at Builders Brewery .

SL is not dying. It's just changing. Many users have tired of the joys of mainland and opted for shopping over building and creating. We switched from the creative craziness to a quiet, predictable and respectable Bellesseria. We want Linden Lab, the Moles and creators to spoon-feed us a pretty, little virtual world, where we can escape from our harsh and crazy RL one. We probably have less patience with griefers with pen!s shooting guns when RL is full of real shooters and real warfare. We don't want to be reminded of RL politics and social problems. We want our peaceful little gardens, doll houses and virtual Barbies. We want to sail on seas that are calm and free of garbage. We want to ride the rails where there are no unslightly industrial parks or abandoned buildings. We want to live free of winter storms and homeless encampments on our sidewalks.

I'm happy that Valentina E. is rigging for LaraX. I love her clothes. Her clothes fit Persephone's more modest style, but didn't fit her Freya body shape. I saw that I missed a lovely sweater and knit skirt set on the last $L 60 weekend sale though, so now I'm subscribed so I won't miss another deal like that. Bumblebee has some LaraX clothes, but some vendors can use their gift card credit and some can't. Their lucky letter outfits are mostly not for LaraX of course, but the thigh high boots are. I wonder if they were actually rigged for LaraX or the old Maitreya size fit ok, so the owner just slapped a LaraX label on them? Blueberry started rigging for LaraX, but my old outfits haven't been updated for it. 😥 My boots fit fine, and their high waisted jeans can work with either Maitreya or Legacy sizes, but only some of my tops still work. The problem with matching jeans with boots is always that the jeans might break through the boots unless they're for the same outfit. I also refused to buy anything from their winter sale of old bargain outfits because I'm only buying LaraX now, but I should have bought the Power Play boots for Alycia, because those are awesome. (3 styles and flat or heels all in one pack) My alts, Alycia & Tasha, are thin enough that they can usually still wear Maitreya sized jeans. Persephone generally has to wear Legacy on her LaraX body. The upside of that, is that the autohide doesn't go crazy, like it does with original Maitreya clothes on a LaraX body.

This is where you need a folder full of BOM tops, especially tank tops & camisols.

Newbies in general, but especially the ones who want to explore SL. My home is a north coast Victorian, so it's not too far from the welcome hub. Yesterday I saw a 2 week old newbie in the female starter avatar that has a horse riding along the coastal road. I waved from my front porch and said "Nice day for a ride." They stopped as if trying to figure out who was talking to them and then continued on their way, which confirms to me that they were a real newbie. Another new person who I met through the forum was writing a blog about exploring SL and was eager to explore, even learning from and exploring with multiple people, working on making his avatar look more like his RL self, trying out using a female alt, and getting into a relationship and sharing a home with another resident. If you've been to Disneyland or Disney World with a kid, they let you experience the joy and excitement through their eyes. An enthusiastic newbie in SL does the same thing for me in SL.

When my Mom & I lived in the country on her grape vineyard, her cousin's older Labrador was killed by coyotes. We frequently heard coyotes yowling at night. I saw their droppings full of fur and grape seeds by the vineyards. A neighbor said they would bite into his rubber watering tubing to drink the water. When I would see a couple while walking out in the vineyards with our dogs, the dogs seemed to know they were not dogs and were not friendly, because they would bark and keep their distance.

The friend who's always hoping I'll be up for SL sex, when I'm really not interested at this time in my life.

Some of the homes are being held in Maintenance.

You know how you have to go underwater to find some portals? It's kind of like that. p.s. Be sure your sound is turned on.

Thanks. I didn't know there was an Eryie stone at Hanshin. I think there is also an undersea portal at Picard's Wharf? Btw, if LL ever decides to open another water route connecting to Fantasaria, they could add 2 water regions near Hanshin to connect to existing coastal lanes. I know it was someone's vision to keep Fantassaria isolated, but sailors would enjoy having more options for sailing around it. I think there would need to be a whirlpool or something to make the route challenging though.

Sometimes missing inventory can be recovered, though probably not for an account that was deleted that long ago. I had a a bunch of inventory missing once, including my whole shoe folder. I contacted support and was directed to log into the Alditi (spelling?) grid, where a Linden helped reset and restore my regular inventory. They said at the time that I had too much inventory & too many folders. After that I started deleting stuff & organizing my inventory better to get well under 100,000 items.

I use a full-perm radio in my Linden Home with several stations, so I can change them easily. Mostly I listen to one of the channels from Radio Paradise. https://radioparadise.com/listen/stream-links

I think Glam Affair might have mesh eyes, and most of their eyes have Omega appliers. I don't know if they are unrigged though. There may be older unrigged eyes on Marketplace too. I think By Snow had some lovely ones for $L 10.

I thought the 512 m Bellissera homes were introduced to lure people away from their old 512 m Linden Homes. The campers were a novel idea for those who might have mainland or had donated tier to a group, but who also wanted a little place to get away to in a woodsy environment. The account level between Basic and Premium seems to have been created primarily to encourage people to buy mainland. Being marked as a Premium account is necessary to get a Linden Home, but LL wants each Premium account to only have one Linden Home. If people want multiple homes, they have to either buy mainland or pay for another account, which would mean more money for Linden Lab either way.

We can see the Moles are adding more Stilt and Ranch homes. We can't see the Mediterranean regions that will probably be added on Monday, with homes already on them.

If you found items in your inventory that you didn't remember buying, while other items you thought you had seemed to be missing, wouldn't you also think someone had been messing with your in inventory? We don't know if the account was hacked or if someone they knew had access to it. Inventory doesn't usually disappear on its own (unless someone has a very big inventory without many subfolders). LL was also cleaning up some very large and unorganized inventories, so maybe that's what happened to the OP? To the OP, If you wear an alpha layer that leaves only your head visible, it may be meant to go with a mesh body or mesh clothing. Look in your inventory under Worn and take a screenshot for us if you can.

I love this one best.
