Land & Public Works

I think that there should automatically appear a 1 sim navigable waterway around any land of the mainland. When mainland expands, the buffer 1 sim waterway should expand with it. This way, naviable waters are always available. If two lands join, elimating a waterway, it should appear in the closest edge to that lost one, making sure to provide a route around the lost waterway. Thanks!

The railroad crossing at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/47/77/58 has the guides not set phantom causing road vehicles to collide with them. Needs to be set phantom per standard

I have noticed that lately the feedback forums are very active with posts being shown as more than just tracked. This is, quite frankly fantastic. But it makes me worry that the people working on this projects might be working themselves thin at times. Therefore I would like to propose that Lindens & Moles who's jobs as far as we, the users can see is to "fix things" are allowed time out of their day, or week more than just the usual off time, breaks, lunch, etc to work on projects of choice or even just actual time to just...play Second Life. This is time that they can use to either work on things they personally see as important, or to just decompress and have fun. Obviously all of this must be done within reason as some form of professionalism must be maintained and some form of structure is required if the projects in question are sensitive enough that it may interfere with the development of SL or the experience of users. But just some hours of free time to say, build, fix something small, chill for a bit, explore or partake in group activities may do wonders for the health of those working hard to make Second Life a better place for everyone. I understand that at it's core this is a company decision, not that of the consumer despite us Residents being allowed some say in the direction of SL. But I, a consumer who enjoys Second Life and has for many years would like to see that they are allowed to enjoy it too.

Rez zones are relatively limited for boats in bellisseria areas like the stilts and houseboats, where this has been improved in newer regions (like the new Tiki's). There are open waterway regions that are meant for sailing throughout bellisseria and I am curious why they do not have the default corner rez zones that the Blake Sea waterways do? Is it possible to add default rez zones in open waterway sims in Bellisseria?

For this idea, I'm suggesting that 3-4 regions of abandoned mainland are built out as forest on each mainland continent. A 'real life' example might be something like a national forest found in the US. Each continent could have it's own theme for the forest (jungle, swamp, redwood, beachy?, etc.), and have trails/plants/flora/fauna. Each forest would have a small rez zone (so you can rez a bike or a horse or something). PROS You don't need to make any new regions. Claim 3 to 4 regions in areas that are mostly abandoned. Every mainland continent has spots like this. You add instant real estate value to all of those parcels near the new forest that didn't have any value before - a 'protected Linden Forest view' on the mainland would be awesome. Volunteers could build it. The precedent has already been laid for volunteers to build large scale events/projects in association with the Mole and Linden teams. I am confident that a call for volunteers would yield an amazing a list of mainland loving builders. Cost to build it would just be whatever time is needed for the Linden / Mole to keep an eye on how the builder team is doing. CONS I have no idea how you'd 'sell those parcels' near the forest in a fair way, but I'm sure there are lessons learned from 'the old days' about how to release new land for people to purchase etc.

The current process for Linden Homes selections allows for residents to receive the same parcel repeatedly even when there is an ample supply of available homes for the desired theme. This effectively renders the "5 selections per 24-hour" rule moot, and results in a very frustrating house hunting experience for residents. Please change the process so all available homes are rotated into the active queue on a regular basis. Thank you.

Please complete the coastline of Heterocera continent by adding one water region to the west side of Tiger region. This will complete the perimeter coastline of Heterocera, enabling north/south boat travel on the continent's west side, as well as making a full loop of the continent possible for the first time. Request originally requested as a JIRA Request, [BUG-231433] (Accepted) see: https://github.com/secondlife/jira-archive/issues/8911

Could we please get some road guards placed along the east side of Circuit la Course where it passes through the corner of Optiman? http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Optiman/9/235/41

An option to upgrade the prim allowance on a Homestead region, from say 5000 prims to 7500 prims or 10,000 prims. We have options on with upgrade option for a full region from 20,000 prims to 30,000 prims and paying extra for this and think Homesteads could do with an upgrade option also, I think this would help to get Homestead regions more popular and more online and gives people more usability for the space of the region.

Ville de Coeur is a cherished micro-continent within Second Life, comprising several interconnected regions that meticulously recreate the ambiance of European villages and countryside. Founded over 10 years ago by Ayla Guisse and Bedrich Panacek, this primarily English-speaking community has become a haven for residents seeking a serene and immersive environment. It is in danger of closing imminently. Please visit soon! The original five regions—Aquitaine Coeur Nord, Poitou Coeur, Normandie Coeur, Coeur de Bourgogne, and Coeur d'Azur—each offer unique landscapes and experiences: Aquitaine Coeur Nord: One of the oldest regions, it features caverns, shops, galleries, and multiple venues for performances. The area includes essential services like a police and fire department, a church, and recreational activities such as rowing and walking tours. Poitou Coeur: The oldest region, characterized by a large lake with an island, primarily hosting large estates and a cottage along the canal. Visitors can navigate through locks, stroll along towpaths, or explore on horseback, trolley, or carriage. Normandie Coeur: A rural community comprising a lockhouse, watermill, church, and numerous half-timber cottages. It offers a small, tranquil beach and seasonal activities like rowing and ice skating on the canal. Coeur de Bourgogne: Inspired by the real-life village of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, this region boasts a castle, church, main street, houseboats, a model of the Hospice de Beaune, and picturesque vineyards. Coeur d'Azur: A fishing village located on the coast of Provence near the Mediterranean Sea. It features villas nestled on the mountainside, a beach with numerous activities, and a dance area accessible from the beach. The design is based on a 19th-century painting, capturing the timeless charm of the Côte d'Azur. The potential deletion of these regions would signify a profound loss to the Second Life community. Ville de Coeur has long been a sanctuary for mature-minded individuals, offering a tranquil environment that fosters social connections and cultural engagement. The regions' detailed designs and diverse activities have provided residents with unique experiences, from exploring historical architectures to participating in community events. Preserving these regions is essential to maintain the rich tapestry of Second Life's virtual world, ensuring that residents continue to have access to spaces that promote community, culture, and creativity.
