...and no sky junk below 2000m!

Which bits of Belli would you keep? The covenant, the gaps between properties and the landscaping?

@MillyWH it seems like you've been lucky enough to find what you need. I would like to be able to look my age, and nice! This is really hard to do.

I found an underground temple in one of the Meadowbrook areas when I went exploring! The large room sizes are quite a challenge to furnish with the prims available. It would be interesting to see what a loftroom style would look like with double prims to play with

I'm impressed that you got your helicopter working. I never managed to get a single vehicle to work in the old continent. I've never visited that teahouse!

At last, myself and another home hunter, who shall remain anonymous have now stopped meeting each other in Bluff knoll, as we pass my old house between ourselves like some strange game of pass the parcel. I landed in Yuge instead, and have a sea view from the back, which gives a purpose to the Winchester Balcony. There is a sea view, it's just that I am using the Black Dragon viewer and am not yet in control of the situation

Maybe the teenager part was a jokey exaggeration to make a point, my main drift is that I feel a disconnection between the target audience, ie us, and the products that are out there.

Dang you will be telling us next that @Garnet Psaltery's ocean bottom railway to the Kraken's Abyss isn't going to happen either!

Ebbe tide has has a crowd of people camped out every day! ...and my little plot is back in maintenance, swirling around in the pick and mix of home hunters!

I just gave up a nice little plot in Bluff Knoll, still in maintenance if anyone fancies it. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bluff Knoll/220/57/57 Meadowbrook again on land page! edit: still in maintenance!

The shop owners aren't I'm sure, but apart from those shops making their own meshes which aren't seen elsewhere, do you know who actually makes the original meshes licensed and re-used by so many creators? Do you know where they get them from, if you know that, are you sure that the supplier is not a middle person? Or that those meshes were not adapted from models made to suit another environment? I don't think we do know that.

@LuLu Starbrook and steps as well?! Looks beautiful, hope you enjoy your new home.

One of the things I love about this forum is that words like extrapolating get used This sounds like a decent theory @Nika Talaj Now are they hiding stuff because it's good, or because it isn't and they don't want the drama?

The simpler this is the more likely it is to happen!

Getting some practice in! See me actually drive a non wearable vehicle, even on bendy roads, amazing :))

Maybe leave the stuff out for a while so those who can't attend at the time of the event can still have a go just for fun?

@Elena Core that's so gorgeous!

...and that's the new name

Looking at this I'm not sure how likely it seems, but I've been wondering if we do get the four new themes if they might have their own continent elsewhere, such as tucked under Satori. There does seem to be a neat empty space there. It just doesn't seem to connect to existing Belli that well, though there is one straight sea route. I'm not sure after what's been said before if a long , and otherwise empty sea route would be a viable option. Anyone else been playing around like this?

SSPE1049 Abnor and a mole crew were working away. I was delighted to see a half completed railway bridge. This rail network is going to be HUGE!!

Firestorm went on strike for me recently (it does that once a year or so with no way of finding out why) Anyhoo I am now using the official viewer and BD for the first time. BD graphics are the best I have ever seen for SL. Basic stuff, like moving around feels more tricky. After reading the bad tempered blog post linked to above I see why, I am not a regular gamer so I'll have to learn what to me are new techniques. Downloading BD has been a transformative experience though, and I'm sticking with it. I will check my eyeballs later

@Elena Core oooooooooooooh Most fun EVA thank you! (using my VRC free train )

I've been bouncing around with my one account, and it's been an enjoyable / frustrating / intriguing experience. The thing that tells me I will probably move is that I sometimes get the itch to go back to a Meadowbrook house. I'm not going to now (unless I fall between the house hunting cracks) but the urge is because I'd still like a modern style home with larger windows, this time with a better view out and all the advantages that Belli has to offer. However, if I get that chance and then move back to the Alderley then I'll know I can settle properly!

It looks to me like there has been some Mole rotation, not sure if that is the case though (I mean some Moles stepping back and others being recruited)

That's amazing! Wonder if there are more people treating their alts to premium, people in SL but new to Belli joining up, or even others new to SL altogether? Where did all those campers go?
