Did you know the old Linden Homes are going away?

That’s right. Those first Linden Homes from way back in the day (we’re talking over 15 years ago) are slowly being phased out. If you or someone you know are still living in one, you might not have even noticed the quiet little notices Second Life has posted about their closure. But when the regions eventually disappear, it’s sure to come as a surprise to anyone still hanging on.

To be honest, it’s time. These homes have had a good run, but it’s time to retire them. I fully support this transition because Second Life has given plenty of notice over the years. The first big clue came in 2019 with the launch of Bellisseria, the new generation of Linden Homes. They’ve now been around for six years, offering more prims, better designs, and a livelier community.

While there’s no official shutdown date yet, I personally think closing the old regions within the next 30 days would be fair. Resources are limited, and it doesn’t make sense to keep supporting outdated areas for just a few remaining residents. Thankfully, there are great alternatives such as Bellisseria, mainland parcels, or even choosing to go land-free.

I still remember when the original Linden Homes launched. Honestly, I wasn’t all that impressed even then. They served their purpose, but their time has passed. Their quiet farewell feels right.

So, do you live in an old Linden Home or know someone who does? Let me know in the comments!
