Bay City feels quite isolated on the world map. The new tunnel and road access are a good step toward making it easier to reach. Since there’s already work happening to improve Mainland edges and add waterways, it would be great to see some of that on the WEST and SOUTH sides of Bay City too. It would be nice to have waterways around the city, with a few rez zones where people can launch boats or stop and explore. That would make the edges feel more finished and make Bay City easier to get around.

On Saturday 3 October 2026, I won my single Boopie #40 (Tier 4 prize) after an intensive two-day hunt to collect 400 Halloween buckets across Bellisseria. In the earlier 2024 and 2025 events, collecting 400 buckets awarded three Boopies (Tiers 2, 3, and 4) alongside a Tier 1 shelf unit to display these Boopies. Winning only one Boopie in 2026 felt disappointing. This year's Tier 1–3 prizes felt unrewarding, the prizes felt like left-overs from the Swaginator Hunt and I would have preferred staying with the three Boopies and shelf format of 2025 and 2024. The new "Next" button on the 2026 HUD halved the collection time compared to previous years. At first, I welcomed it, but this feature quickly made the hunt feel too predictable and repetitive, removing the excitement of exploring unfamiliar areas of Bellisseria. To address this, could the LDPW please introduce a dual-HUD system for 2027? I suggest offering a standard HUD (with the "Next" button) and a separate "Hardcore Halloween Hunter" HUD (without "Next"). To prevent exploitation, each HUD should maintain an independent counter. Reintroducing the three-Boopie prize structure exclusively for the Hardcore Halloween HUD would highly incentivise dedicated collectors. Finally, I request that the LDPW issue a Bucket Placement Advisory Notecard to resident hosts to ensure reasonable Halloween bucket placement. Additionally, hosts should be encouraged to adjust their parcel security systems to allow hunters sufficient time to collect buckets without being automatically ejected from a Linden Home parcel.

Make the Zindra interior river navigable: add lock mechanics at Terri and Oritz dams Issue: The Zindra interior river (the "3"-shaped waterway between Terri and Oritz) is currently non-navigable because both ends are blocked by dams. Water level differences between sims prevent boats from crossing. As a result, this long interior waterway has almost no vehicle traffic, and GTFO deliveries cannot pass through. Why it matters: The river is already there. It just needs to be connected. Oritz has an SL Hub. With navigable locks, it could become a real waterway stop instead of a dead end. Dams currently consume prims and space but generate no activity. Making them functional would turn them into visitable, useful infrastructure. Proposed solution: Add localized lock mechanics at Terri and Oritz — similar to real canal locks or water elevators. When a boat enters the lock zone, the system raises or lowers it to the target sim's water level, then releases it. This is a known, feasible approach and does not require reworking SL's entire water system. Request: Please evaluate lock mechanics as a navigable-waterway feature, prioritizing GTFO-compatible vehicles, so interior rivers like Zindra's can support continuous boat traffic instead of ending at a dam.

As you can see in the screenshots below, the first is from neighboring Birchwood. Normally all regions on Corsica have these 512x512 terrain textures. For some reason all the terrain textures in New Bloom Mountain are 128x128 ever since it was built, this is why the terrain is extremely low resolution here. (This is 16 times lower resolution than everywhere else.) This can be seen in the third screenshot with the corner of New Bloom Mountain between Birchwood and Jessgate. Needless to say, the entire mountain would look much better with the 512px textures.

Now that Waterhead is indicated as the major last destination on the TSC from Luna (14 km from the Luna tunnel), would it be possible to place at least one rez zone where we can park our vehicles and/or rez them? It would not hurt to add a small road leading to the Linden Labs headquarters from the Waterhead info hub either. For now one has to drive through some phantom forest trees. Thanks.

Linden Route 14, on the southwest side of Nautilus continent is currently isolated from all other sections of Nautilus' overall Linden Route road network. But there is a relatively "easy" fix using abandoned vacant land. Link Route 14 to the closest point to Route 13. This location winds through the regions of Grolphook, Servo and Baddest. I propose this new link road be built and paved to the plan below, which has two possible route options:

Between the two regions of Camorro and Plenodyes in Nautilus continent, is a long unmarked and currently "hidden" extra Linden Route road, that I believe was only recently created and given "Protected Land" status. The two ends of this "hidden" extra road actually connects two other existing Linden Route roads together (12A and 13) as one. But the new "hidden" section is easily missed by anyone who does not use the mini-map Parcel Lines/Boundaries filter. Please consider upgrading this unmarked and unpaved road with a clear and obvious road surface which seamlessly blends in with the local infrastructure already built in Nautilus continent. The two "ends" of the hidden road are located in https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Camorro/250/7/50 and https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Plenodyes/128/128/68 Doing so, I believe people would find this paved road attractive and move to, or create new homes or businesses along it's length. Currently, the regions containing this "hidden road " are very barren.

Dear Linden Lab/Moles etc. Please Consider a phased retroactive update of the older themed Linden Homes in Bellisaria 1) Update to PBR or Hybrid (PBR and PrePBR) textures ( this could be an additional 3 or 4 PBR houses in each of the house controllers) 2) Update Landscaping 3) Add Flora and Fauna some themes BEG for animals and some plants and flowers

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.

I’d love to see the available last-name pool expanded, with more names that feel like realistic surnames. My own experience is that I’ve wanted to change my Second Life surname for some time now, but I’ve struggled to find anything that feels suitable because the current choice is so limited. Many of the available names seem more like adjectives, nouns, or novelty words than surnames I would realistically want to use as part of my avatar’s identity. I understand that quirky and unusual names can be fun and should absolutely remain an option, but it would be great to have a much wider selection of realistic surnames as well. Could future name releases include more traditional and contemporary surnames from a range of cultures and languages, and perhaps a larger pool overall? At the moment, it can feel difficult to find a name that sounds natural, suits a character or business identity, and feels like something you would want to keep long term. A broader mix of realistic and creative names would give residents much more freedom to choose something that genuinely fits them.
