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.

I would like to suggest that Second Life PLUS or higher memberships should have an alternative to static housing locations. I would like to see Linden Labs establish RV Parks and make it possible for PLUS or higher memberships to have a temporary spot in an RV Park and drive the Linden Road System and see many places. Obviously, this means mobile home RVs, like the large ones you see on the road. maybe something like the Benz ones with the box on the back. Being able to reserve a spot would be nice. Having a max duration would prevent people from squatting at the best locations, but this could be a way for Linden Labs to reduce the constant turnover of Linden Homes. And create some fun activities like collecting Park "stamps" or travel "badges".

For Prem Members It would be nice for them to be able to purchase half an island at the cost of 60 a month. This could be done as non private, you would make more cash on the land purchased and I feel more members would be happier with this option. You could make it so they could not parcel it off and sell pieces. If sold it has to be as a whole 1/2. Of course I do not know the ins and outs so not sure if this is even possible. However I have spoken to many people who just want to enjoy the space and not necessarily make money. More or less build a place and if they come great if not great too your having fun doing it.

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.

Several Mainland-wide update projects have been pending for a very long time, something no serious Estate owner has left untouched for so long, which makes Mainland less and less viable as a place to own virtual land. One for which I found a Canny feedback suggestion is the request to update Mainland's default EEP to something less dark and dreary. ( https://feedback.secondlife.com/bug-reports/p/fix-eep-mainland-environment-cycle-are-way-too-dark ) This has come up many times in user groups but nothing like a delivery plan has emerged. I understand work was completed by the Server team to facilitate spreading this update grid-wide, but there's no word on when we might expect that work to pay off with actual updated default EEPs. (This problem actually antedates PBR, but is more urgent than ever with PBR.) We also need updates to 2K terrain textures, and then PBR terrain textures, or do both at the same time, whichever has greater and more immediate impact. There are other Mainland-wide projects needing attention, but these may be a good start for establishing a working process for implementing updates. As a strawman, I suggest targeting the next Land & Support User Group, February 25 2026, to have an official blog post outlining the planned milestone dates for these two projects. These projects may have significant scope, but delay has done nothing to reduce that scope.

One of the alien community residents asked if there could be Fantasy linden home. In this case aliens with saucer based homes in an alien environment. The image she made of an example is included.

Several Boopies have been released over the last two years, and many people have spent a lot of time and, in some cases, real money to have the complete collection. For some time Boopies #17 and #18 were missing from our collections, and it was assumed those numbers were skipped, similar to how Boopie #5 was skipped for many months. Polenth Yue was able to find an advert for a possible missing Boopie, but LL couldn't confirm it was real. Bear Castle have now managed to find that Boopie in world, and confirm it's the missing Boopie #18. It was available at SL Fandom Con 2024, but this information wasn't shared well at the time and most collectors missed out. I contacted LL asking for help, and they suggested I post a request here. I would like to request LL please make Boopie #18 available for everyone. Maybe we could purchase it for charity. Can you also find the missing Boopie #17 and make that available for us to complete our collections please. Many of us really enjoy collecting Boopies, but the situation with Boopies #17 and #18 is upsetting and is causing myself and other collectors to consider giving up on Boopies if it's no longer possible to complete our collections. After talking to collectors about this issue, especially newer collectors, it might be a popular request to have all previous Boopies available for people who missed them, or started their collections later. Maybe they could be available for a short time at certain events like Christmas and SLB and sold for charity? I think increasing the number of Boopie collectors can only be helpful to the Boopie community, and get more people excited about events where Boopies are the main prizes.

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

The rehab/revitalization of Linden Memorial Gardens of essential to the Second Life Community as we grieve and yet wish to honor our friends who have passed away.

With the Anniversary of Bay City coming up this weekend, it's well past time for Bay City to be connected to the rest of the Sansara road network. I've been able to physically walk out two proposed paths. Both paths would be entirely on Linden owned lands, not taking any resident parcels from existing owners.. The proposed route would start at the info hub in Dore (where the existing road out of Nova Albion ends). Continue south through the Morris sandbox and along the eastern side of historic Oak Grove, though through the portion where there are no builds. Enter into the vehicle sandbox sims and follow one of two paths from that point: Move south at Bethel and use the existing vehicle sandbox pathways and bridge system to translation to a coastal road in Ouranos, dropping into a tunnel or under-water road along the southern edge of Mnemosyne and the southern most edge of Abbotts (currently LL owned), then up the canal in Cowell, connecting to the road at the Noyo parking lot. Continue east through the vehicle sandbox, moving under water at Kapor, through the existing waterway in Stinson, under the "Bay of Space Pigs" and connecting with the roadway in either Rodeo or Omidyar. Both routes would require an underwater road or tunnel system, though considering the quality work with such routes in Jeogeot, there's plenty of precident for that! As stated, we walked both routes from start to finish and found either LDPW or Governor Linden owned parcels the entire way. Happy to walk the route with anyone as well.
