Land & Public Works

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.

As its known that most users in second life cannot afford land. Premium users, free users, new users, old users. It was told years ago the cost of land, sims, homesteads, would come down by being hosted on the Amazon Cloud Service. It can cost around three hundred US dollars per month to 'own' your own sim in second life. This is not a small cost whatsoever. Some other virtual platforms (Roblox specifically) operates almost like second life with it's land building but the difference is it's cost and customization. It's free and very customizable, although chunky. I feel like owning a private place for you to go to is wonderful, or even somewhere to open your own shop or more. I feel like making it more affordable would be even better to bring more income and users to SL, as well as new locations. A lot of places I used to go to have closed down due to the cost of running or even renting a sim. I feel that cutting the costs by either half or even 25% might be helpful in bringing in new locations with better affordability. (Math might not be correct or accurate.) (The price was times 25% so it'd be a reduction) Type: Full Region Parcel Size (m²) 65,536 Price: $349 (25% cut would make this $87.25) (New price 261.75) Maintenance Fee (monthly): $209 (25% cut would make this $52.25) (New price 156.75) Skill Gaming Region Parcel Size (m²) 65,536 Price: $600 (25% cut would make this $150) (New price $450) Maintenance Fee (monthly): $345 (25% cut would make this $86.25) (New price 258.75) Homestead Region Parcel Size (m²) 65,536 Price: $149 (25% cut would make this $37.25) (New price 111.75) Maintenance Fee (monthly): $109 (25% cut would make this $27.25) (New price 81.75) Please forgive me if the math's wrong. It isn't one of my best skills. But the point remains that things just aren't affordable. So if we do the percentages correctly, it can be more affordable to users and friendlier for wallets overall.

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.

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.

SL22B had some really cool Mole-made meshes around, things from trees to major set pieces which my RL Twin and I kept finding ourselves wishing we could buy those or something like it to create with and carry on the inspiration trains. We reached out to Anctient Mole, creator of some of those awesome pieces we were geeking over, and we were informed that there wasn't such a store yet, but they have been hearing about the desire and every voice counts... so, my Twin and I thought to create this request. Mole Made marketplace store concept Ideally allowing them to offer their specially made creations to the public for reasonable/respectable L$ prices. Ideally, the (Mole) creators would get most of the profit share, though I do imagine (since the creators were presumably paid for their work RL already) some if the L$'s would go toward a LL treasurer for Linden sponsored L$ giveaway events or hunts or whatever might be fun and agreeable as ways to give back to users and patrons alike. Ideally all Mole Made creations would be in the same store, searchable by the usual title and keywords, maybe also the name of the Mole who did the creating. THANK YOU to everyone who shares this with others to decide if they also would like to see a store for Mole made creations! * Submitting this from my phone. Special shout to the attached pics of Mole Made examples. Massive gateway. Massive willow trees and massive (and other sized) pine trees. Cool magic electric swirly portal accent piece. Cool walkway with stellar electrical magical stringy accent pieces. Awesome particle path pieces. Light and or electric magic beam. Sci-fi walkways, balcony, and foundation pieces. I am sure there were and are way more creations that could be showcased as examples but I think that's enough to make the request.

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.

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!

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.

it would be nice if Zindra (the continent hastily built to host the Adult refugees after the demoting of all the ”Mature” main land sims to ”Moderate” status), could get some love from Lindens and Moles... I mean, we really need it to be brought on par with older main land continents (with public rez zones on roads at each sim border, better public buildings, the addition of water sims and protected water channels to allow sailing all around the continent, the addition of land sims with some hills and mountains, etc). Also, why not moving it closer to the other continents on the grid (it's just an offset to change in sims coordinates), and link it via an ”Adult channel” to the rest of the SL seas ?... EDIT: oh, and I almost forgot... Please, fix public parcels (especially roads) permission flags, so to allow scripted vehicle entry and let people providing public transportation have their scripted automated vehicles roam freely the roads of Zindra. E.g. YavaScript PODs, SLGI Transportation System, etc...

Route 8 in Satori actually ends, at North, in Soulgiver sim. Close to that, there are several abandoned lands, so the road could be extended to South West, crossing Gnoll, Dakhanavar and Vampyre. Also, some bit might be added to Ever After and Succubus sims. The new extensions would develop the whole gorgeous Inner Lakes area. The idea comes from 4lice.Cerise, who drawn the map attached.
