Good job I've been stalking watching the moles build from a distance😁

There are some Bellisserian groups you can join, with often events being announced around the continent. Anyone is welcome even if they don't have a home yet:) (if you do a search under groups for Bellisserian you should see them listed). Bellisserian Citizens and Bellisserian Community are two I know of that are quite active. Some people have 'open' houses you can go visit too (there are many posts on the forum to explore about all this if you can).

Oooh, I wonder if that's a hint of things to come related to SL16B....

I've been trying a few different vehicles to drive around exploring, this one is my favourite so far, handles well. My driving is pretty atrocious, but there's never anyone around (actually quite nice to drive on the empty roads) and the lamp posts don't dent, so all's good:) I also have a horse I like to ride. What are your favourite ways to explore Bellisseria? Haven't go bored of exploring yet, the scenery is great:) I made a very quick (*cough*...not professional...) video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTwz6-UlA6I&t=4s

Same here:) Everything seemed to render fine and not much lag either!

My money's on this too. Judging by the progress over the past couple of weeks I doubt very much there will be anything released this week (unless they release just the first lot of homes at the top which appear finished - but I'm not so sure about that)**. It also depends on whether the rest of that coastline will be included in the batch release or if that will include the new themed homes (you can see the complete coastline on the SSP map). If it is then it will take a few more weeks I think, I'd guess at 2-4 weeks if not then 'sooner' And Patch said in the stickied post which could be interpreted as saying they will be released at the same time as the launch of the next theme. So again that would mean after SL16B (plus they will not have to share resources with SL16B event as they already said they are having to do, so it would speed up the rollout I would guess). **OR...(after thinking about it) that statement does mean a much smaller launch which could be those regions which appear finished and have names, about 4 or 5 of them I think, so just before or around start of SLB16 , and then a bigger launch of more houses and houseboats alongside a new theme (longer after SL16B)

I've explored Yuge a few times, but in my head I kept calling pronouncing it 'you-gee' - I only just got this😁 Every time I see Shady Corners I want to laugh - just reminds me of a retirement home....And myopia falls. Not sure I'd want to live in Bilgewater...conjurs up images of umm..waste water... I like the sound of Plafil Waters...not sure why lol.

That's so cool I love the Abiatti region coastline - the rocks are wonderful. I did see some fallen rocks under the water, but totally missed this bit...will have to go visit again, and since I'm always falling in the water shoudn't take me long ot find it lol. I agree, there are some wonderful little things like this around.

Lol thank you!:)

I've been exploring the new regions (New Amsterdam, Jamesborough, old SSPE71 area), before the new homes are released. There are some lovely little spots to sit and relax, it's fun to see how the landscaping has developed. I found this pretty little brook in Jamesborough. There's a bench just behind me out of shot where you can sit.

That's brilliant 🤣. Should be in every software company's terms of service lol

I spotted this one too whilst flying around yesterday and thought it looked really nice. Hadn't seen that front wall design before. So yeah, definitely agree.

Thanks for the info!

I think we need official rez zones from LL, with markers, just like you have along some of the routes on the mainland : There are clearly marked zones for boats, so why not for land too? It would be great for non-house owners to be able to explore and travel around with a vehicle. It's great that the list was put together, but the problem I find with it with it is that isn't clear exactly where the rez zone is when you tp there - no markings or anything, so a few times I've been stumbling around rezzing and getting the no rez message:( They are not official zones, and as they are in SSPE areas will only temporarily work - once the houses are built only the resident on that part would be able to rez, just like elsewhere (or not if it's a road). So we really need some permanent official ones. @Patch Linden pretty please!:):) If I'm mistaken on any of that please let me know:)

I think that sounds like a nice idea! Maybe it would be a good time to show off any new themes too (if they haven't been implemented yet...)

I really would have loved a houseboat backed against some sand, but can't be too choosy! So I added my own little beach front instead (sand looks a bit whiter in the photo than it really is) , together with a cute beach hut (I was lucky enough to get that on special offer just as I was searching for one!), tug boat, and a dolphin too... Oh and what makes it even nicer I think is if you have some environment sounds - I have beach sounds (waves etc.) - very relaxing.

It's fun to watch the progress, how it's done. I've been exploring the regions that are already in use. Walking around the roads and all the little cute hangout spots I think LL and the Moles have done a wonderful job with the landscaping. When you have your setting up (shadows on etc.) it really is very beautiful. I mean there's nothing else like it in terms of virtual worlds available out there (that I'm aware of). I think they've done something really great and look forward to seeing what comes next!

I think the OPs suggestion is a very nice one (and the original Mole's suggestion), and I see where she's coming from, i.e. in the interest of fostering community. I applaud that.👍 I would certainly not agree that to do otherwise, as suggested by others (not the OP), is selfish. If someone has multiple premium accounts they are entitled to multiple linden homes - they have paid for them, it's part of the package that LL gives to each premium member. Why should they be denied that when they have paid for it? Do I wish there wasn't the current 'shortage' - yes , definitely, the sense of missing out and 'unfairness' is a real one for some members who can't get one yet and I understand why they feel like that. But the shortage (temporary) is not premium members fault, that's LL's fault. No-one should be made to feel selfish by not giving up a LL home. If we were talking about food and water in RL, well I might have a different opinion. But we are not talking about survival, we are talking about a virtual home! And every one is entitled to do with their home as they please, it's no one else's business (unless it's breaking the covenant or something which makes neighbour's lives a misery). There have been lots of comments about empty homes, criticism of members not using them etc. I personally find it hard to understand how anyone can make that judgement since they have absolutely no idea why that home is empty! They could be empty for any of the following reasons: not had the time yet due to RL commitments and responsibilities (not everyone is in SL everyday) waiting for a friend to help decorate using a skybox for now taking time to think about how they want to decorate it others I probably haven't thought of And even if it's none of the above, so what? They have paid to have that land and home and they can leave it or enjoy how they wish. It's not up to them to provide plots for other residents, that's LL's job. If they want to help with that, that's great. To give one up is in my view an extremely generous thing to do, and hats off to anyone that has done that!👍 I don't see anything wrong with the suggestion, it's a great one and I think good to throw it out there for people to consider. If I had multiple homes I would give one up (unfortunately I don't). But for those that haven't....that's perfectly fine too!! No one should try and make you feel bad about that. No LL homes gatekeeping here please!😊 Just my opinion:)

I wonder if it could be temporary for the SL16B events?

Hellooo neighbour! I thought I recognised those houseboats, I live right behind you:) I didn't have any house parties and I'm usually quite quiet, so it wasn't me that made the previous owners move...honest....:)

Resistance Speculation is futile lol😁 It will certainly be interesting to see which of the theories turned out to be true:)

Thanks everyone. For some reason when I was thinking about it today my brain didn't associate tip jars with 'profit' lol - brain fart....

From posts elswhere by @Patch Linden it's been confirmed that Linden homes are not to be used for commercial purposes (other than display, not redirecting or selling etc.). But I just had a thought - would residents be allowed to have tip jars? Let's say you make your home open to the public as a hangout or entertainment place, like a cafe, gallery, garden or open space or such like and are definately not selling items or advertising commercially etc., would having a tip jar be allowed?

I spotted some moles out on the water over there (blue dots on mini map) , across from where the new houseboats are (SSPE107) and saw some land being created. It's disappeared couple of times though, and then come back again. So I reckon some work commencing there soon too, which would line up with what you can see on the SSP map of the same regions..although it won't show on the world map yet.
