I saw a post in the mobile viewer thread about free L$ and streaks, mentioned in this post. But nothing about the other increases.


Everyone gets more groups, higher IM caps, some get more anime attachment caps.



Linden Homes alsonget more prims.



It specifically calls out Linden Homes, so I assume the additional prims are not everywhere.
The additional prims are not for mainland dwellers, sadly.

No rewards for premium members who own mainland. Maybe they want us all to move to linden homes and islands?

I still they would do better by converting empty existing mainland to Linden Homes.

I imagine they run the builds very automated though, and it couldn't handle working around an existing build.

Maybe add more fancy roads and neighborhood space and have a "DIY" Linden Homes with no pressure built options.

Also, I didn't mean to double post, been doing a lot of IM messaging at work.

Well I appreciate the extra groups, because I've always needed more group slots since 2006! I think the first time I complained about group slots was in August of 2006, within a month of when I first joined SL. I could really use as many as they could give me, but basically the only way for me to increase it further would be to go Premium Plus.

I like the Bellisseria community, it's full shoppity shop oldbie girly girls with brains like me. Strangely, it reminds me of Caledon during the "Caledon Duchess social scene" era.

As for turning vacant mainland into Linden Home regions, they can't, too many absent, but owned parcels. And it would only work for Trads, Vics, Logs and Campers.

I'm not sure how that would work.

One of the defining features of mainland sim continents is the contiguousness or continuity between each nearby sim, but still creating a diverse landscape of varying heights and terrains over the span of a "landmass," and sometimes within each sim itself. Linden Home sims tend to be rather uniform and are designed that way obviously to allow for the most efficient use of each plot for build placement and the like. To vamp a standard mainland sim into a Linden Home one would require either a serious rejiggering to how the mainland is laid out and sims linked, or allow for potential architectural monstrosities.

As an example, the sim my club sits in (Marsco) is 3/4 water, while the land portion reaches approximately 30 meters above sea level at its Northeast edge. It's a very steep climb for that hill, and I'm not sure who'd pick a home with such restricted landscaping options if the land as it is was turned into a Linden Home sim.

I have Mainland plus one of the new underwater Linden homes. I just got it because "hey, cool new underwater home" and it has been fun to decorate. It would be nice to have some extra perks as a mainland owner, though.
