  1. I think it would be nice for users to have another 512 option, to meet the needs of those users who aren't too bothered about having a larger parcel and who want to be able to get some mainland too. A more standard kind of home might be good, rather than a more niche style like campers. Maybe something taller rather than wide so as not to fill the whole plot with the home, and open plan so it doesn't feel cramped inside. However I doubt that's what's coming. Not the prettiest of designs but kinda shows what I mean:
  2. I think if they do a Asian theme they will probably design it to be flexible in style for users, i.e. not too specific, in the same way they approached Fantasy so that users could use the homes and decorate them to meet a variety of fantasy themes. It's interesting to wonder about how the next theme will fit on the map also - will it be a stand alone continent like the Fantasy regions, or be a transitions as we see with the other land homes - perhaps from the stilt, log or chalet home areas since that's where the largest spaces on the map are now.
  3. Is it too early to start this thread lol? Well someone has to😁. So what do you think LL and the Moles have planned for us next? There are speculations about an Asian theme and maybe an updated version of a Meadbrook. There are only 2 themes left I believe to complete. My vote is that there is most likely to be something Asian influenced since Patch has suggested they will pay homage to the old themes. But also, I think it will need to be a style that can be found in America, since they seem have taken their inspiration from home styles that can be found there, even if the style originated outside the US. Take the Chalets for example, we learned through chat and the forum (somewhere) that they visited some place in Georgia (?) which had a german themed town. And if you look at the other builds they are all styles that can be found in the US.
  4. Thanks for the reminder about Trompe Loeil, they have some interesting modern looking builds that illustrated how a modern homes could work on water:) Like this one for example: It's called a beach cottage, but doesn't look cottagy to me:) The Lindens and Moles have ruined me! I used to be a land lubber, and now I just gotta have water!πŸ˜πŸ˜† I'm pretty sure LL have already settled on whatever the next two themes are. Wish I was a fly on the LL offices wall:) (So as not to derail this thread too much i'm gonna start a new one regarding the next themes.)
  5. Some of those have really nice interiors! So what we need next is a modern theme with lots of big windows, on the water! Well that's my dream anyway:) I kinda would be a bit surprised if we do get a modern build, just because we have the traditionals and stilts which both have a more contemporary vibe (to me anyway) in some ways compared to the other themes, so I'm wondering if they would really do something like the meadowbrook.
  6. Patch did say in some interview somewhere that they were intending to pay homage to the old Linden Home themes, so I would think there'll be something with an Asian theme to come. The new log and fantasy homes I think are like an upgrade for the old Tahoe and Elderglen regions (not sure what the upgrade of the Meadowbrooks is - maybe that's yet to come..)
  7. Right after my sojourn to the pub I took a canoe ride down the river and found a ridable air balloon left by the Moles! Yes you can jump in and take a ride. Awesome! I forgot to take a landmark but the region is Brookside. There are other Ballon stations long the river.
  8. Out exploring the Chalet regions I came across this great little rest stop... It's nicley done inside with a little library and feast table too. I really appreciate all the LL home owners who make places like this for the community to enjoy:) http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lingon/233/47/25
  9. I'd really start worrying if I ever heard Zuckerberg was offering LL a big fat cheque to buy out Second Life...😟 Anything's possible.... ...If that day ever comes I'm outta SL...
  10. Well I'm a believer you can't have too many regions:) But I agree about the water themed homes - they are the least available ones. I don't know why they don't build more of the houseboats, overwater and pier stilts - perhaps they are more challenging in terms of building, packing houses in and configuring. But they clearly are the most popular. Having said that, they can only build a certain amount of homes, so one or two of the themes is bound to be more popular and less available. My guess is that they may put some more houseboats in above the top part of Stilt land (in the same way as there are a bunch just below), and there are a few more regions of Stilts to release, but again the majority of those Stilts are on land, so I doubt the demand for Stilts on pier or water will be met. But also I think it's not just about being on water, but the water environment itself - for example the stilts that are on purely water (i.e not a bit of land around or piers) are really unntractive (IMO), yet that configuration makes the most sense in terms of being able to pack more houses into a region. I don't necessarily think people want more of that type, or maybe they do....? I think the Fantasy regions might go someway to satisfying those that want some water around. Of course, we don't know what the final two themes will be, there could be more water to meet the demand but somehow I'd guess not. There hasn't been a theme to replace the Asian theme of the old homes yet, so I'm thinking that might be one of the two that comes next (is it too early to start a 'what's the next theme after Fantasy?' thread😁).
  11. Rowing through the rivers and remembering how Patch or one of the Moles said that the rivers are kinda like the roads in Fantasy land, I was thinking how cool it would be if they made a modern theme in a similar way. I know we have stilts on water, but a lot of them are on land - it would be so nice to have a modern build with the same amount of waterways that we see for the Fantasy homes:) If anyone hasn't explored the waterways yet I thoroughly recommend it, it is a beautiful experience! (wearable boats are great for this!)
  12. Yes, I'm surprised the Stilts aren't going faster, there's quite a lot available right now.
  13. Having a good explore around the regions - I love that they've added stuff below the water too...:
  14. Yes, it's nicely done - sharks, dark clouds and lighting. Undersea has also been decorated too...
  15. Thanks! That's quite a late release in the day. The first one I missed!
  16. I'm not convinced there will be anything to see once released - there's no firm indication that there will be any other regions connecting yet (or at all). It's just an excuse for a party πŸ˜πŸ˜ƒ
  17. We do Patch! Except we can't get on the darn regions!!😁😝
  18. I bet they are waiting till they think no-one is looking and then....bam! Press the button! Raining houses!🀣😁
  19. I don't know but I kinda think it's a good thing to release different themes concurrently as it provides more variety. As shown by others here there is often a good choice on the land page (although there aren't enough Stilts (Pier or OW) though as those are the least frequently seen on the Land page I think). I think the Fantasy homes will be quite popular, at least in the beginning when people want to try them out.
  20. New from Patch on flickr today...is he hinting at a release today I wonder...or just teasing us mercilessly lol.
  21. The red is probably just the rolling region restarts that were going on earlier today. There's been a lone greet dot since yesterday hopping about Fantasy land - my guess that this is the final QA check that's performed by a Linden (can't remember which one now, but has been mentioned before). So who knows, when that's done maybe it'll be release time..Sooooon😁 (my bet's on tomorrow but I wouldn't put real money on it because I'm always wrong lol).
