I'd love to suggest making The Tapestry of Time a permanent installation on the Mainland, rather than only making it accessible during the anniversary celebration each year. It's an incredible build that showcases the history and evolution of Second Life through the creativity of its residents. As well as historical exhibits that focus primarily on Linden Lab's development, the Tapestry of Time highlights resident-created content and the time capsules that document how our community has grown over the years. It's a unique celebration of the people who have shaped Second Life. I think moving it to a Mainland region would have two important benefits: * It would bring meaningful, high-quality content to Mainland areas that have become quieter over time, encouraging exploration and giving residents another reason to visit. * It would preserve and showcase the history of resident creativity year-round, emphasizing that Second Life's greatest strength has always been the community and the content its residents create. The Linden historical exhibits, such as the old building near Da Boom with the Apologetics Museum, are a wonderful reminder of Second Life's early beginnings. The Tapestry of Time complements that history by telling the story of the residents themselves, and it deserves to be experienced throughout the year, not just during the anniversary celebration.

Winter Wonderland's older original regions were kept open all year round. However, the present newer versions are closed for most of the year, except when it's winter time in the northern hemisiphere. But the people in the southern hemisphere have their winter in June, July and August. Southern hemispherans don't have the joy of accessing or using Winter Wonderland during their winter time, which is unfair. The northern hemisphere bias in Winter Wonderland (and Bellisseria) is both absurd and discriminatory. Please keep Winter Wonderland open during the entire year, as it once was during its previous incarnation. It's proper and fair to do so.

Hello, I recently was told my linden home wasn't in theme...oops. I am naturally a spooky girl at heart. For some people it is a lifestyle not a holiday. So, I was thinking since the spooky, goth, alternative, emo vibe is a huge astetic in sl, why not make a region for linden homes for the spooky loving people? That way we can decorate our linden homes as autumn and spooky as we want.

Right now, there is no official method for residents who are considering a Premium Plus upgrade for the free Ridgewood Enclave Commercial stores to check availability. The kiosks do not show availability to non‑Premium Plus members, and Linden Lab provides no instructions explaining how availability works or how a resident can verify availability prior to upgrading. Because of this, people are being asked to make a paid upgrade without any visibility into whether the perk they’re upgrading for is actually obtainable. There is also no transparency around: -whether more Commercial Bellisseria stores will be added in the future -whether Linden Lab tracks resident interest or demand -whether there is a waitlist or queue -current vacancies -how long a resident might realistically expect to wait for a store At the moment, Premium Plus members are asked to sign up for a potential store without any information about how the system works, how to check current availability, or whether additional stores will ever be created. This leaves residents unable to make informed decisions about upgrading or maintaining Premium Plus for this perk. A clear set of instructions, an official availability visibility tool at the time of potential upgrade to P+, and official communication about future availability and potential wait time would help solve this problem. At least let people know that supplies are limited. Thanks.

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.

I've had premium for many years on several avatars and premium plus. I think all this time, I've gone once. Now, prices for premium have been raised with the excuse of these gifts. I think I've only gotten one or two in my entire time as premium, they were high land impact and not really useful to me, so I just don't bother. I'd rather pay less, or get or get more lindens instead of these gifts instead. They're not for me as a non-modern RPer nor are they for me as someone who plays exclusively male avatars and has no use for chick shit. On top of that, I never remember to go get them. So I would suggest, sending us a HUD whenever there's a new gift, and one in 15 days after it's released as a reminder, along with some in world message. Allow people in the hud to select what they want. If they don't want any of it, give them some amount of Lindens so they can put it towards something they DO want. Maybe ask them why they chose lindens instead to gain valuable data on what groups in SL are underserved wtih these gifts.

I'm a Premium member since forever, and I was delighted when semi-regular gifts got offered for Premium members. They often were from a home/garden or gadget category, which was perfectly fine. Later, when the Lab sought collaborations with popular designers and released designer branded gifts, they became more fashion and accessory oriented, but as such, still catered to all genders, with the collaboration partners usually offering 1 gift for female AND male avatars. This is what I expected from the inaugural event at ACCESS, but I got dearly disappointed. The number of participating designers was impressive, the number of gifts that could be used with male avatars was not. It was not even close to the roughly 40% in previous installments, but more in the range of 1-digit percentages. As a paying Premium member for almost 2 decades, with those gifts by now included among the officially announced perks of a membership, I felt duped. Sure, I did not become Premium because of those gifts. And I would stay Premium even if those gifts would vanish. But if you say (paraphrased) 'Premium members get cool gifts every now and then', then you should make sure that ALL Premium members should get those gifts. I'm not even expecting 50% (or 100%, like when the gifts were not primarily fashion items). SL is a rather feminime world when it comes to fashion, but I would have hoped for at least 30%, better 40%, of the gifts being usable for male avatars. And yes, the irony of suddenly being the disadvantaged gender does not escape me. You're preaching to the choir here. I have my doubts though that this was an intentional message, and merely assume an oversight, or negligence. So, please, more male fashion, or more gifts - like before - from gadget, landscaping, home and garden, vehicles, etc. Thank you!

There are 6 places around the Gaeta V continent which have very narrow pinch points, and whose protected waterways run too close to region corners and private parcels which are hazardous to a smooth sailing pathway around the Gaeta V continent. These 6 places can easily be fixed without expensively creating any new regions, or affecting Resident parcels near to these "pinch points". By luck or coincidence, there are 6 outer "spare" water regions further offshore which are not currently well used or essential to sailing around the Gaeta V continent. They seem not to be used often and could be moved inshore to improve Gaeta V's inshore coastline. The map I've drawn below features these 6 "spare" offshore regions (in turquoise) and where these "spare" offshore regions should be moved to (in red) inshore. Relocating these 6 "spare" offshore regions would ease and prevent the current inshore narrow pinch points and help to avoid hazardous narrow waterways and entering into Resident's private parcel territories. This would also make the Gaeta V continent more compatible for sailing larger "tall ship" style vessels around the continent too. I strongly suggest and propose that the 6 "spare" offshore water regions (Twelve Fathoms, Qoopz, Gaeta Reef, Christarn, Sciello and Unquar) be treated as "donor" regions and relocated to these 6 new inshore positions.

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.

Many/most water canals in Heterocera are too shallow. For example, the canal running through http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sylvata/122/102/12 Likewise, it's continuation through several other regions going eastward. There are many other places.
