I have predictions for the future links between Newbank and the 35 new regions.

On the north border of Newbank (at 124,252,22) is a short asphalt road pointing northwards to nowhere:

 

On my map, you will see that there is currently a void north of Newbank and south of a new region (of the 35) called Shepherds Coronet.  I predict that a future new region (with road) will bridge this void.

However, there is no asphalt road along the northern edge of Newbank, only a narrow concrete footpath. And the road is blocked by bollards. You'll have to go one region east to Coin Toss to drive vehicles across on an actual wide asphalt road.

 

To the east of Newbank is Coin Toss region, which DOES have asphalt roads pointing northwards, aiming northwards to Rabbits Too in the group of 35. 

 

These north border roads are also to be found in all of Newbrooke's other northern regions. They are called Jazz Band, Funky Blues, Okay Pop, Prince Charming. 

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. 

[are Newbrooke 1024 homes completely sold out?]

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

the names themselves are visible on the Shergood Map system if you click on the area where they are... don't know how some people can already see them on the standard SL map tho 

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. 

[SSP?]

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 😆

[SSP?]

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 ? 

[SSP?]

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.

Missy's exact words are

She has not asked for any planning input. Rather, her message is to stay alert for opportunites to sign up for things.

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

[SL19B Planning]

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 ?

[Favourite Bellisseria Places To Visit ?]

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. 

[New theme is Revealed!.....Newbrooke...]

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

[SSP?]

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. 

[SSP?]

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

Jazz Band 

Okay Pop

[Premium Plus - What are your 'Must Have' features and what are you willing to pay for it?]

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. 

[Next theme(s), enhancements after Newbrooke?]

I remenber seeing somewhere that premium plus was schedule to 2022 Q2 (I thing it was in Daniel Voyager'sblog), it was said at a user Group meeting.

So I think March they will make an announcement , and Plus will be released by May, if there is a 2048 involved in Plus the new theme will have it (wild guessing here).

There is enough mainland to get if someone wants to have also a 1024 plot in mainland, although what I have seen people asking is how to get more prims in LH, and to be honest more land is what will get me to plus, so, lets wait and see

 

 

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. 

[Favourite Bellisseria Places To Visit ?]

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

 

[East River International Airport is going]

All that remains now I believe as of 8th March 2022 of the ERC.

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 😄
