Tomorrow (15th April 2022) marks Bellisseria third anniversary celebrations in Second Life. Yay! The Bellisseria Fairgrounds look amazing. Great job Here is the Event Schedule... Please spread the word about Bellisseria third anniversary celebrations happening between Friday 15th to Sunday 17th April 2022.

Is there anything being planned for Bellisseria 3rd anniversary on 15th April 2022 ?

Not sure if anyone has noticed but houseboats are being released down the east side of the Chalet sub continent. Newbrooke & Chalet sub continents - 10th April 2022 * Orange squares around them now. * Empty regions from Tutti Frutti eastwards towards Boomp including Thimble Pond Farms and Take Five. More regions still yet to come I'm sure.

According to Reed Linden at the web user meeting on 6th April 2022 it appears that the Second Life land store (including Linden Homes) will be completely be revamped soon. Designers are working on it now. Premium Plus is now targeted for the end of May 2022. Reed mentioned that there will be more stipends, larger land grants, larger signup bonuses, reduced fees on certain things and more groups. The numbers is yet to be confirmed. The cost for Premium Plus will be double the stuff apparently. Exciting times ahead. Just need the teams at the lab to give us the green light. https://youtu.be/1CtWvwwDm3g

It looks like the Newbrooke sub continent will expand out further northwards as there are many roads going to nowhere around the edges. Here are some photos of these newest regions added this week. It's great to see more regions added. Yay! Eastbridge Village Le Corbusier Amusing Grace Take Five

There will be more regions connecting up to Newbank in the months ahead I think. On SLURL the region names pop up if you click the area.

Looks like the lab have added more regions just above the Newbrooke sub continent. Hopefully they will be visible soon along with development.

It's on SLURL if you click the region areas. My guess is that it will show up on the world map within the next 2 days or so.

Using the ATC Radar map service I have roughly outlined the area of where these 35 new regions are located. You have click around to find the regions 😆

These new 35 regions are not showing up on the map this morning. Surely they will be visible in the next day or so. Anyway around this ?

It's good to see all the new region arrivals visually on the map now over at the Newbrooke sub continent. I wonder where new regions will be added next.

Sounds great.

It may help with the input though now like a boost. You never know the Moles may use it for the birthday celebrations.

Mischievous Mole announced this week via Second Life Birthday inworld group in Second Life that the lab will be announcing the opening of SL19B applications very soon. Some of the "SLB" regions are still on the grid from last year including four new SLB Planning regions in the south east. It appears the 2022 Second Life 19th birthday celebrations (SL19B) will take place from Thursday 16th June to Tuesday 5th July 2022 via the Second Life Public Calendar. 1. What would you like to see at this year's Second Life 19th birthday celebrations (SL19B) ? 2. What theme should it be this year ? 3. Should there be a SL19B website set up ? Previous Birthday Themes SL1B – Second Life First Year Anniversary Gala SL2B – Giant museum displaying various large builds, pictures of SL over time SL3B – Hooray for diversity and Looking towards the future SL4B – “era” of SL SL5B – SL Culture SL6B – The Future of Virtual Worlds SL7B – Unexpected Collaborations SL8B – Magic of Second Life SL9B – Community – (resident run event) SL10B – Looking Forward.

I have added these great places to my Bellisseria page on my blog. If anyone knows of any more places I will be happy to add them.

Here are some cool areas to check out on the Newbrooke sub continent. There are new rez zones around now. Newbank Community Centre - Welcome Area look alike Huygens - Big lake area Schoolyard Games - Nice place to relax by the pool Wandering Eyes - Sit by the fireside Picnic Grove - Chill by the fire pit + Rez Zone - NEW Branch Office - Have a swim or relax by the pool side - NEW

It looks like Prince Charming, Fitz Inn and Bullwinkle are showing up right on the map at the moment. The other regions are black still.

It's strange they are black currently on the world map. I would imagine the world map will update soon. Jazz Band Okay Pop

Reed Linden said on 10th March 2022 that the lab should be announcing more details about Second Life Premium Plus later this month (before end of March 2022). Q2 2022 starts 1st April through until 30th June 2022 I believe so I would imagine the launch of PP would happen in this timeframe.

Yeah, that's true. Q2 starts 1st April through until 30th June 2022 so I would imagine it will launch in this time window. I think we will get details about what premium plus actually is and then a launch later on. Will it be worth upgrading to PP is the big question I think.

Please share your favourite Bellisseria places with SLURLS so everyone can visit them. There is so much to explore and discover.

All that remains now I believe as of 8th March 2022 of the ERC. Villas of Helvellyn North Side

Bellisseria Map - 8th March 2022 Still got the logs homes, chalets and modern sub continent coastlines to come yet. More themed regions expected within the next 12 months or so. Exciting times ahead. Don't forget Bellisseria 3rd anniversary in Second Life is 15th April 2022. Using Firestorm Viewer World Map the Newbrooke sub continent doesn't show up very well unless you zoom into it. Hopefully this will fix itself soon. This is what Bellisseria looked like back on Opening Day back on 15th April 2019. Wow! First SSP regions arrived back in mid August 2018. 257 pages later 😄

Edges of the Newbank Community Centre. Many nice areas to sit down and chill taking in the new surroundings.
