Land & Public Works

Infohubs were the heart of Second Life for years. They had lots of people, community, stores, and more. I propose sending new people to infohubs and additionally opening sales of land around the infohubs to create successful in-world businesses. It may foster organic community and interactions. The existing land is there and it is ready to go. I would also propose additional Infohub Mentors, drawing from the existing Welcome Hub group.

There are _many_ instances of 4-way region crossing (i.e. corner of 4 regions) that are inconveniently located on Linden Roads. These spots will very frequently destroy the vehicle, not only when the vehicle hits the "corner" (sending all entities -- vehicle & sitters -- every which way), but also when avoiding the corner because now the vehicle must face a back-to-back pair of crossing (e.g., crossing to the East, followed by crossing to the North soon after). While a solution is being sought to alleviate the crossing issues for good, I propose that for instances of this monstrosity (i.e., corner crossing smack-drab in the middle of a Linden Road), at least 2 Rez Zones need to be carved, along the general direction of the road. This will help reduce the painful experience of having your vehicle break apart and then having to walk a loooong way just to find a Rez Zone. This I think is a better compromise compared to the other Canny ticket about making the whole Linden Road area to be Rez Zones.

Maybe "urgent" about the parcel availability at the moment. The Zindra-road-network have only 1 connection from North to South. This wont change with the new lands at the South-East and wasn't with the fresh rolled out at South-West. (see "Roads NorthSouth"). I suggest a "Underwater-Tunnel" connection between Chinstrap ... to the ocean-rezzzone on Linkous ... to the road at McFarren/Novarez ... to the town-road network at Wendersley/Donathan. (see "West enhancement"). At the moment the parcel on Chinstrap isn't shown as reserved, so it is a bit urgent! Part (1b): At the road end on Chinstrap, the road can gone East down to the ocean and go into a tunnel (glass-tunnel, as like on Belli - them look matching futuristic), making a turn to North and going tough the public land on Popke and Gatcharl. At Gatcharl the ocean turn to be less deep, so it can be digged into the ground (no more glass). Part (1b, too): At Linkous is a rezz-zone. This could be enhanced to a small, sandy island, where the tunnel gets back to the surface ... "Parking Lot", some beach deco, small pier (boat-rezz) ... and back down under water. The Tunnel can going in 45° angle trough Tashina and Nine (not as I drawing it) to turn then straight North at McFarren. Part (2b): At McFarren is a "Road"-parcel on the beach, but the Tunnel can get at the normal Beach back to the surface with a road up the Hill to the existing road. On the other side of the existing road it get back down below the water. Part (3b): The Tunnel can go North at Novarez, then 45° on Desantos to Conroy and turn straight up North to connect at Wendersley/Donathan to the regular roads. This concept takes just a small piece at the new Sims for a road (barely it mit work also "half-half" on the small stripe at Popke). The whole rest is all public lands and takes no additional space. It is adding a 2nd North-South connection. It connects 3 complete different roads and includes 1 rezz-zone. Also it adding 2 attractions: Tunnel-build ... and a new, small island at the rezz-zone.

Goal: Create a new Mainland continent with updated textures, objects and infrastructure as well as a new covenant to provide a more appealing base than the existing mainland continents. Current situation: The current mainland looks outdated for the most part as far as ground textures, Linden objects and infrastructure are concerned. I don't believe I need to prove this with examples.. everyone knows. The Gaeta 1 precedent (closing a continent and moving people) made me think that everything's possible now, as in creating a prettier continent and closing another one, but such a process would still be ugly in parts. Creating a new mainland continent for Premium Plus members would be a compromise, but it would probably be relatively easy compared to the alternatives. We could use that opportunity to introduce a new mainland covenant. There are enough people calling for stricter mainland rules which would include things like prohibiting skyboxes on the ground etc. The covenant could be inspired by the current covenants for the Bellisseria homes and commercial districts. What could be part of the covenant: Land cannot be subleased or rented No skyboxes below 2000m Parcels cannot be subdivided No 2D walls* *No 2D walls: allow this continent to provide immersion. 2D walls have skybox character and separate spaces on a meta level. If people place a 2D wall, they say on a meta level: I do not want to be next to the other parcels but this is my own separate space. This counteracts the shared environment that is provided by a connected landscape. Using fences or hedges as separators would be fine of course, since they do not separate on a meta level but as part of the immersion. The financial risk would be relatively low since we could have just a few sims at the start and see how it all works out.

When an avatar turns 21 they are given a FULL sim to live on to do as they wish until the end of their time.

Hello, It it clear to me that the Library folder content is very outdated and has been overlooked. We have community standards in there from 2005, and landmarks pointing to "Orientation Island Public." This is not ideal for the new/existing user experience, as it's misleading if they happen to come across it. Is it possible that we could get a refresh of the content there, with landmarks pointing to the current newcomer friendly landing regions, and guidelines which reflect today's current standards? Thank you for your consideration.

A couple of folks I spoke with that are a part of the First Person Shooter Community find that having the mini map on does ruin the immersion of combat in the region and would like to know if it would be possible to turn off the mini map and tags for those that enter the region/parcel. It would be preferred to disable the option as well so users cannot just use the developer tool so they would not bypass it. The current workaround is using RLV to disable the mini map and tags and it would have to be called on command and it can be a waste of script time

Provide Videos on the "how to " of purchasing mainland, group ownership, abandoning, selling, land deeding to group etc. A follow along tutorial in process of land ownership would help alleviate confusion. I have gotten land deeded it to group, sold that land and purchased new and had to pay fees because of confusion with group allotment etc.

The stilt home doors can get stuck open if you leave the doors open during the region restarts. Attempting to close the doors when they are in this state causes them to "open" further which causes them to clip into the walls. The stilt homes need to be updated so that this doesn't happen anymore. V4.0 Tortuga

Second Life needs a built-in original soundtrack. You could have cool ambient vibes when logging in, exciting beats when teleporting. It would greatly add to the immersion and atmosphere when doing anything in SL. Imagine zoning out to cool tunes when teleporting or the excitement of zooming through Blake Sea with cool electronic tempo. I urge you to upvote this important proposal.
