Change Linden Home selection process
Matthieu Quander
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.

The only thing I would ask is that the same home not be offered more than once in a 24hr period. One time, I got the same house 3 times in one day.
Actually one more thing: don't offer the home which the user has just abandoned. At least not the same day. I know that tracking it long term is asking too much, but for 24hrs might be feasible.

Just get rid of the 5 selections limit

Agree, This is a very frustrating issue and should be corrected.

I agree, I get so tired of getting the same house--often days apart! I also wish they could set the system up, so if you are Premium Plus, you can claim a vacant home via the mailbox. I mean it would be nice if it was set up for regular premium as well, but at least with the Premium Plus this would negate the need to do a ticket and bother the land team. This would make changing the house to your main account or a friend a breeze as well.

I strongly believe that Linden Homes' selection process in Second Life could benefit from some much-needed improvements. It's time for a change in how they manage the queue and display available options. The current random nature feels akin to gacha, which goes against the spirit of fair and transparent selection. I urge the team to consider implementing a system that provides a list of available homes in the queue, along with the order in which they're being delivered. Transparency is key here, and I know it's entirely feasible to showcase this information. Let's move away from randomness and towards a more user-friendly and equitable process for all residents.

Linden Lab won't do it, because it doesn't affect the money they think they are going to get from mobile users buying Linden homes.

ostiabs Resident It does affect LL's revenue, since GOH players like myself end up retiring alts instead of getting them new homes in themes that have a lot of available parcels. LL also loses potential LH residents who don't play GOH, but are looking for a nice parcel in a theme (such as fantasy) that has a large number of available homes. It is very frustrating to use 5 claims and only see 3 homes. Particularly if you end up seeing the same homes every day.

Nika Talaj do you think this might be an even better solution? https://feedback.secondlife.com/feature-requests/p/available-linden-homes-map

This is long overdue for a fix.
