    Question about access to the Arcade

    To acquire a Linden Home via a Premium membership (assuming you are on a monthly plan)

    1. Pay Linden Lab a monthly membership fee

    2. Select a home of a particular theme - a home is delivered "by chance" based on available inventory - all homes are unique

    They aren't actually delivered to you.  You can go to any of the dozens of sims based n the style you want and select the location you want.  There are also variations of the types of styles that you can change to once you have bought (for lack of better word).  On the new welcome hub there's a whole region that shows you the different styles and regions you can pick from with teleports to the regions that have them.  As of now there are over 10 styles and then dozens of variations of each style.  Once you have "bought" the plot then you are its owner until you are no longer a premium member OR you decide you want to move to a different one.   (Need more coffee so hopefully that was understandable)

    Also consider that Linden Lab banned gatcha as a matter of policy (due to "regulatory climate"). The legality of gatcha (as deployed in Second Life) has not been tested. Ironically, one could argue that Linden Homes for Premium members are even more gambley than gatcha, as you have no list of the possible homes your particular home will be selected from.

    From what I understand of it was that the machines that gave "surprise" gifts was the issue with some regulatory US State laws (sorry not American so no clue of the proper term) was that people were not aware of what they were buying before purchasing.  With the new machines you know exactly what number of the set you are getting ahead of time so I can't see how anyone can argue with that.  Not sure what you mean about the Linden Homes as you can select from dozens of sims and types of homes, there's no gamble at all with it.  As a premium member I can change my home anytime.  Its all under a tab in my account settings.

    No, they're not gaming regions. The new machines show what item you're going to get if you buy (and some show the next item in line too, not sure about Arcade's machines) so they're not considered gambling, and there's no skill components so it's not skill gaming. 

    I belive people are calling them "up next" or "mepon" now. 

    Thanks for your answer about the gaming question.  So those US states that are banned from Gaming regions shouldn't be banned by these types of events then :)

    I've been using the same terms but those are specific names of creators machines.  Was hoping someone had a cute generic term for them by now lol.

    Hopefully this is the right section to post in.  Since the changes to the machines under the new laws is the Arcade still considered a gaming region?  I have no issues myself being Canadian but there's been discussions in a couple of groups that those who live in certain US states are not allowed on gaming regions. 

    1/  Where is it set up on a Region to know to disallow avatars coming from certain states?  Is this an option that is already programmed in from LL?  Or is this something the region/estate owners set up.

     

    2/  Are the events that have legal machines showing what part of a set you can purchase still considered a gaming region?

     

    3/  Anyone have a generic name for what to even call these machines now that "gachas" are taboo?

     

    Thanks!

    PS Please please don't turn this thread into a "how evil collecting sets are"

    What are some good Halloween radio streams this year?

    TYVM for those will check it out.  Someone gave me this stream to try out as well:

    http://streams.vcradio.org:8010/stream  Seems to be a mixture of music, Halloween music and apparently stories will be played as well according to their website at

    https://vcradio.org/

     

    Was using this one http://stm8.streamhorus.com:9940  which has a lot of great heavy Halloweenish music on it but it seems to loop the same songlist over and over.  Maybe their lineup will change closer to Halloween.

    How to edit Destination Listings

    in Favorite Destinations

    Posted

    Hoping someone here can help as I've been waiting for months for an answer to this from LL.  I was added to the Desitnation list in 2020 for my sim.  In November I redid the sim for a winter theme and requested an edit to my listing on 11/17/20 and again on 11/27/20.  No reply at all.  I then had my sim closed for a few months and emailed them again asking for the listing to be removed.  No reply and old listing is still there.

    I have since reopened with a whole new build and email them yet again with no reply.  Have now also tried submitting as a new submission again but really do not want to be there twice even if they do add the sim the 2nd time.

    According to the Knowledge Base the email address we should be using is editor@lindenlab.com. I am not getting any bounce backs from that address but neither am I getting any reply at all.

    Does anyone know of any other way to get a listing changed?

    Thanks!

    No Version Folder Error

    in Merchants

    Posted

    Hi All :)

    Im having a problem with "No Version Folder" showing up in my manage listings.  I was loading no copy inventory items via the window inworld and when done went to the website to edit the listings.  Thats when the pink (no version folder) appeared.  I tracked it down to it belonging to a folder where I had put 2 exact no copy items in.  When I saw the error I removed the inventory from the marketplace window and back to my inventory then tried to delete the unlisted listing and even though I got the message it was successful it is still there.  Have cleared cache in both the browser and SL,  Tried a different browser and nada.  Tried to add the 2 items back into marketplace and altho they are showing in the MP window inworld they are not showing up on the website.  There is nothing showing unlisted inworld nor is the "No Version Folder" showing up inworld.

    Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I need to put in a ticket?

     

    Thanks!
