As a Linden Homes ~~addict~~ enthusiast, I always love when a new theme is released! I love exploring new regions and checking out the different home styles. Last year, I was lucky enough to win a charity auction, allowing me to name a Linden Home region and pick the location of my home – an incredible bonus! I’m deeply grateful to Izzy Linden for assisting me with this, and I’d definitely participate in another Linden Homes auction in the future.

Previously in Second Life

Introducing Previously in Second Life, a new feature where I recap the latest news from around the grid if it’s an interesting week. Here are some things you may have missed:

Casinos are back in Second Life! Bookmark these two forum threads for some great bedtime reading: Casino in Second Life? is Gambling Back? and So they banned Gacha but…
The long-awaited Victorian Community Region at Merrymount is open! I played games and won so many prizes. The games are free, fun, and easy!
Open floor plans for Victorian Linden Homes are here! You can get your updated home in the mailbox.
BelliHub and BelliDemo are regions where residents can go to demo all of the Linden Home styles on Bellisseria, get tips, and play games.
Marketplace Spring Cleaning, some old stuff is getting unlisted/disabled.
May 14 (today) is the last day that merchants can sign up for Shop and Hop and other SL20B events!
Sign up for a Bandana Day Kit for Hair Fair 2023! All finished bandanas must be in by 29th May 2023 – Available on Marketplace.
Looking for a new shopping guide? It seems that people are broadening their event marketing horizons, giving themselves newer opportunities as early adopters in sites like SugarSL.

Linden Homes Search

January 14, 2023 / gogo / 0 Comments

Hello from my Linden Home! By April of this year, it will have been 4 years since I claimed my first Linden Home. Time goes by quickly! I’ve been thinking a lot about my Linden Homes, including how much I’m spending on my region. I won’t say how many Linden Homes I had at my peak, but I have four of them now. I’ve given up homes in the same theme in the past month and decided to just keep one with any theme I like. I’m still trying to leave even more, and unless the next theme interests me, I’ll probably end up with just three homes. Like everyone else, I’m still waiting for those 2048 Linden Homes.

Since the Concierge Linden Home service for Premium Plus came out, people have asked me to leave my homes so they can ticket for it. Sorry, but that’s not how it works. Abandoned homes go into a queue for anybody to get from the Land Page on the Second Life website. I’ve always thought the ticketing process was highly inefficient and there has to be a more instant solution. Even if I wanted to abandon a house for someone to use their Premium Plus to claim, they can’t without risking the house being taken by other residents.

Linden Homes; New Houseboats styles

December 8, 2022 / gogo / 0 Comments

New Houseboats styles have landed on Bellisseria! This update brings the choices of houseboats up-to-date, which was long overdue. All the new houseboats have new colors on the outside and a new color HUD system for the walls inside.

The new Linden Homes Houseboat styles are:

Dock Holiday (my favorite, very cute)
Jolly Roger (huge, ugly floor texture on the roof)
Knot Shore (kind of cute, lots of windows)
Shore Thing (a maze on the inside, ugly over-hang on the outside)

The older houseboats styles did not get the color HUD update, which is a shame. It’s clear that the Lindens have been paying attention to what residents do to their houseboats since the updates seem to be geared toward people who like to add more floors and rooms. I’ve never liked the look of big houseboats, so I’m not looking forward to being surrounded by the Jolly Roger model.

New Second Life Membership Plans

November 20, 2022 / gogo / 8 Comments

Second Life just announced a new membership plan called Plus, which gives residents the right to own mainland and that’s it. Is it worth the money? I compare these new plans by only looking at the benefits that interest me, such as the land allowance, the stipend, and the perks that come with linden homes. I was shocked to find out that the Plus plan does not include a linden home, and the price is nearly equal to the Premium plan.

L$150 weekly stipend
512 m² mainland
NO Linden Home

$34.87 / year actual cost

Premium

Submit a ticket for a Linden Home!

Look at this sweet new Linden Home I got by submitting a ticket! The process is so easy, even though rolling for one is fun too. I’ve acquired some of my favorite homes the regular way, by getting them on the Land Page. One of the perks of a Premium Plus membership is being able to submit a ticket for an available Linden Home. After I got my last Stilt Home, I said I was done. However, I noticed that all these fresh new stilts regions were named yesterday, so I submitted a ticket for one and it was delivered today. Thank you once again, to Whitney Linden! I picked this house because it’s situated on a peninsula and the back deck faces an unblockable ocean view. Pro tip! Avoid any regions that are on void edges, because the chances of them getting blocked are likely.

You can choose your Linden Home?!

July 17, 2022 / gogo / 3 Comments

Have you ever wished that you could select your Linden Home? Many people have asked me how I was able to select my stilt home using the Premium Plus choose your Linden Home concierge service, so I’m here to show you exactly how to do it.

Is your dream home available?

Before you upgrade your account to Premium Plus in order to use this service, make sure you map Bellisseria and create SLurls to available homes. Keep in mind that popular Bellisseria themes are frequently sold out and the homes are instantly available on the Land Page, you won’t be able to file tickets for those homes with any success. Newly released themes are more abundant, so you will have much better luck filing a ticket for a home.

Premium Plus is coming!

June 20, 2022 / gogo / 18 Comments

I went to SL19B to meet the Lindens! Patch Linden gave an exciting interview with hints about the upcoming Premium Plus membership, which will be available on June 23rd, 2022. At first glance, it appears that nearly all of the benefits will be doubled, but the cost will be TRIPLED. Premium Plus will be $29.99 per month or $249 USD/per year. For 30 days, the introductory price will be $24.99 per month.

Newbrooke, Linden Homes

March 11, 2022 / gogo / 0 Comments

Hello from Newbrooke! These new modern-style homes are available in 512 or 1024 sqm. I don’t love these homes, but I’m warming up to them! There’s a lot of potential here, especially if you like the modern aesthetics. Like previous themes, you can choose to have any Newbrooke home style on your land.

Stiltlandia

May 1, 2021 / gogo / 0 Comments

Hello from my Stilt swamp! My favorite thing about my little Stilt home is the sand everywhere. The next Linden Home theme is most likely something “fantasy” to tie in with Second Life’s latest live-action commercial and SL18B theme, but I’m still hoping for desert sand with tents and camels.
