Zero Starchild

No airports please! No retail. Second Norway was once a bustling community with quaint, little houses and a community and when they brought in that big airport it sure may have drawn in pilots etc but the lag was horrific and killed the quaint community. One marina would be cool with rezz zones but no airports please! Second Norway has since become a ghost town to it's former vibrant community.

I agree 100%. Such a vibrant, bustling place right now like SL 2007. Hope it stays this way. I have already met and friended a few neighbours and a totally different mindset than secluded private sims or vacant, ghost town mainlands.

It's all in fun it sounds like and hilarious. If it gets too out of hand and rude or mean, freeze, eject and ban, goodbye. I imagine we will soon see more of Esteban Winsmore, Britbong and Lavender Storydell or whatever their names are making visits and great funny videos!

I can not get happier than having these fantastic new homes and no ban lines. Ban lines are my nemesis as a wanderer and explorer and wish they were banned everywhere besides private islands. Most people are just wandering, flying, sailing etc and don't give a rats bum bum about seeing you, your inside home or bedroom.There are more sensible tools available for privacy. Ban lines are like prison jail bars keeping people in and out like a hermit. When I lived on a mainland roadway or even on the Blake Sea I rarely had trespassers to the point of wondering why any security is ever needed besides the standard freeze and banning idiot individuals. People take stuff way too personally and seriously and need to lighten up and just have fun and relax and escape in Second Life and stop being so self entitled.

Absolutely fantastic idea and news.

Love this idea. I joined. Maybe I will have a big house party 😉

Private sims can be for bigger and different needs.

The new Linden Homes continent is spectacular. A very well done job by the Lindens and Moles. No lag whatsoever and great diversity in homes and land and most important is the feeling of community is back and the area is vibrant and teaming with life just like the glory days of early Second Life. Any member of the general public who is not familiar with SL and sees a video of this could not resist trying it out. This will attract many many new members without a doubt.

I believe they will expand water ways etc once things are finished.

Wonderfull Idea buddy

The way the new homes are with roads etc I think over time to do away with old mainland and give rebirth to new mainlands of Linden Homes. I love mainland however this new system tops it all.

My partner got lucky and got a houseboat 7 away from mine. We are going to attempt a same sim teleporter door to see if it works between 2 houses.

What a great surprise to log in today to find the new Linden Homes. Got a great houseboat on my first try that is right on the outer docks by the open water. Explored and found everything was way better than I expected. The Lindens and moles did a fantastic job and got it perfect. Patch you are a God 😉 Also what I noticed was the immediate community atmosphere and the vibrant action everywhere. Neighbours saying hello and people sailing, walking and airplane flying everywhere just like it was 2007 again. If this does not attract more premium members than nothing will. Outstanding. The place was packed and NO LAG!!!!

Obviously many people commenting here do not log on SL regularly or for long periods of time but people are crashing left and right sending you home and some log in to find there huds destroyed, AO's wiped out and their avatars messed up permanently and need to redo all their catwa heads and mesh bodies. Not few people but alot. Any travelling by foot or vehicle past a sim crossing and your frozen for long periods of time then crash. This WILL drive people away since it's been going on for a few weeks now. Lindens know about this and attempting to fix but they are obviously stumped. Do not adjust your computers etc, it is not you it is SL.

Some folks on Facebook are claiming the crashes broke their AO huds and any other huds they had on at the time as well as avatar reverting to old style and breaking their mesh.

With all the disastrous crashing and teleporting issues going on lately I bet this is holding up the release of the new Linden Homes and work being done. All the attention is being paid to this emergency. People's AO and huds are breaking even.

Might be log cabins 🙂

There are already beautiful areas on the mainland depending where you look. The mainlands are nothing like the old days.
