    Yesterday, I was having a rather difficult day, and then suddenly Patch Linden announced the release of Thousand Island Tiki Linden homes! This announcement brightened my entire day and possibly my week. Without seeing them first, I upgraded an account to Premium Plus and rolled for a Tiki house.

    As a recovering Games of Home (GoH) addict, I quickly found myself drawn into rolling a theme that I know I won’t keep long-term. I immediately burned through the rolls—only five rolls for Premium Plus members? Could we have unlimited rolls? The next day, Second Life released even more Tiki homes. Although I don’t want them that much, my addiction took over, and I created another alt, spending an additional $30 just to burn another five rolls in a few minutes. As I mentioned, being a recovering GoH addict, two alts is my limit for this theme, and I will likely stay where I am for at least the next 30 days. I know these coastlines will eventually be blocked as more regions are launched to meet the demand.

    Do I like Tiki Linden homes? I think I would appreciate them more if they were available in lighter colors—I am simply not a fan of brown. Additionally, I am not particularly fond of Tiki aesthetics or circular rooms. While I do like the house model in the photo, I don’t think this theme is meant for me. My favorite Linden home themes remain Traditional and Victorian.

    I am grateful for the excitement that GoH provides; it’s fun to explore a new theme. However, I am already looking forward to the Alpine theme, and I hope it’s a winter wonderland. Please please please!

    What are your thoughts on the new Tiki Linden homes?

    All is fair in Game of Homes (GoH)

    **WARNING** This is a GoH post, it will make no sense to my regular fashion readers.

    Let’s talk about this week’s Virtual Secrets. It has been over a decade since someone found me interesting enough to make a secret about me, so let’s talk about everything regarding this secret.

    Linden Lab created a competitive environment, where they would only release one region at a time, so all of the homes are immediately snapped up within minutes. The best time to roll for a new home is during a new release and/or rolling-release (massive release of a new theme).

    To add on to this stress, every premium account only has 5 abandons per 24 hour period, so even if many homes are available, you are limited in your chances to try. And unless you are rolling the minute you watch a region release, it’s incredibly hard to target a region.

    When you are a Linden Homes enthusiast like me, you make some GoH friends along the way, these are the people that you run into all the time, on pre-released regions cos you both want a home on those regions. It’s true that I have a few Linden Homes, many of them I rolled during a rolling-release, and few were given to me by friends.

    Bellisseria Victorians

    Hello from Bellisseria South, the long-awaited Victorians have now been claimed by thousands of happy new homeowners. During the Linden Reveal 3 weeks ago, the southern addition to the continent was not public access, so we didn’t get to see the actual regions until the launch on December 16th.
