I think the lab should either move or merge the old Linden Home continents near to the Bellisseria continent after all of the themes are released. Maybe something to look forward to in 2022 or 2023. It would be super exciting for travelling between the continents. I think removing the old Linden Home continents would be a big mistake as there are active residents there and interesting areas still worth visiting.

Some new snapshots from the LH Chalet Demo region today. SLURL: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LH Chalet Demo/202/168/23

Some new activity happening at the new regions. It's a shame about the Map not working for the region visuals. The next two themes after chalets I guess in yellow.

Check out the VWBPE 2021 Program for all sessions upcoming. Linden Lab will be participating in a special program series across three days of the conference. More details here. he VWBPE Conference is a completely virtual conference that is conducted using simulated environments. Participants experience the conference through a virtual reality type setting including conference rooms, theatres, exposition halls, meeting spaces, and other types of venues similar to a brick and mortar type conference. The conference is free to attend. The cost of the conference is covered by sponsorship and donations.

Patch Linden said the Chalet Linden Homes will probably be released in a couple of weeks time which is roughly the first week of April 2021. I think there is two themes linked together including the Chalets looking at the some of the new regions appearing on the map. The next LH theme will be announced at SL18B in June 2021 followed by a release soon after that.

Can't wait for the Bellisseria continent and the Satori continent to be officially connected soon. It would be great if the Moles could add a few new airstrips and sandboxes with these new LH regions. Some of these new LH regions are showing up on the map. I am not sure if thats a mistake or some sort of preview. The Map really needs to be fixed asap. Bottom left is the end of the Stilt homes area with many active residents vs Satori continent in the top right corner (tons of green dots). The Wizard Peak region is just one of many new LH regions in the blue void. The Satori continent on the far right hand side. The end of the Stilt homes on the far left.

Some of these new regions are showing up on the map. I wonder if this is a mistake or sneak previews from the Moles ? Some are probably going offline or about to come online soon. Another interesting development I think above.

I can't wait for the continents to be connected at long last. This is a very big development for sure. Bring on SL18B for the next LH theme.

Huge new batch of regions added north east of the stilt homes almost connecting with the Satori continent (south west part). There is now only a few regions separating them. Map still not working for any region visuals.

On 25th February 2021 there was a new article posted about Second Life on Quartz which is a rather interesting read about the effects of the pandemic and the Second Life economy. There are some newer statistics for the past year for those that are interested in this blog post. Here is the article link

The Moles have added five new SSP regions just east of the purple SSP regions which are closed for public access. These new regions could be apart of the next upcoming Linden Home theme or maybe for another project they are working on. We will have to wait and see. The big batch of pink SSP regions are no longer on the grid.

Thank you for everything you've done Oz for Second Life. Good luck for the future.

More Stilt Linden Homes added on the new regions near the bridge at SSPE1108. Starting to look nice from the bridge onwards. As of 15th February 2021...

Sounds very exciting.

Here is a map of the log homes railway as of 8th February 2021. Here is the newly built train station and a big loop around located at SSPE1110. A new railway tunnel (shown in purple on the map above)

View from the mini-map and a view from the air.

A lovely new area has been built in SSPE1109 with new Stilt Linden homes on the coastline and a new tall bridge in SSPE1108. Looks really nice so far.

I asked the lab about more details about the upcoming launch of the mobile app via Twitter and here is their response. I would imagine we will know more before Easter unless the development has been delayed or something. - 26th January 2021

I would imagine before the end of 2022.

Looks like more than half of the pink SSP region names are not showing up as of 17th January 2021.

New railway station and track (loop around) has been added in SSPE1111. In the distance the recently opened Stilt home regions. New railway track highlighted in blue on the map below. Not open to the pubic yet. The new railway track does go further west which is not open.

Constantine Linden has added a new Stilt Homes section on the Linden Homes Second Life wiki page. Changes made on 21st December 2020. I like this part

A nice selection of Linden home themes to choose from this morning SLT. As of 7.17am SLT/PST

Some new connecting SSPE regions have been added to join the north and east areas.
