Hopefully this will also clean up present reservations and inaccurate labeling of spots as Reserved when Islands exist and reflect change of ownership.

“Reservations will now start checking for diagonal corners.”

I hope this does not mean that “kittycornered” sims will now or ever become visible from the diagonal sim.

Ok, now can we get an update on the First Land project that’s suppose to make it more available?

I just dealt with someone battling me in two separate reserve auctions (which I lost fighting down to the last second of bidding) to claim reservation rights on the corners of my one-island sim. It was a huge pain in the butt. The Linden Concierge group couldn’t confirm if sims placed in these spots would be accessible or visible to and from my island.

I filed an “encirclement ring issue” with the concierge. More or less, it wouldn’t stick because it couldn’t be proven it was harrassment but rather someone following the rules.

When I tried to contact the opposing bidder, he said it was his right to do so since he did everything correctly at the Land Store and he was planning to expand around my sim because he “had plans” of some sort.

Completely fed up, I bid on five reserves far away from him and any other land baron wannabes so I wouldn’t have to put up with potential strip clubs and/or casinos on any of the corners. I don’t know if that was his “plan” but I wasn’t going to risk it. As a result, I’m waiting to hear back from the Concierge about moving my sim there (fortunately, at no moving charge by them because of the hassles I went through - thank you Harmony).

I spent $150 on reserve spots and won some peace of mind. Yay me, right?

However, today I see this blog post.

grrrr…

Great news! I’d be quite upset if my corner sim lot with ocean view was “invaded” by some scheming new land baron extorting money from us citizens yet again.

(Sorry for whining all about it, but someone has to unless we want to be even further than the Main Grid.)

Finally some improvements! Good thing NONE (of the above: cornering without no perms, too crowded, etc) of these things happened haha (on the Teen Grid). Just too bad the Teen Grid is only 80-90 regions We need more PIs and Mainland Regions, the Teen Grid is beginning to even head back because it’s losing track of the regions on the Main Grid.

(P.S.: Any Linden reading this: Why YES, i did see the 7-8 bridge regions connecting the snow regions and mountains, but it’s not enough )
