Tiki Home Lighthouse Slide

 

 

 Taking a look at the Tiki and Groto Linden Home area off Bellisseria the other day, I noticed a tall structure. Panning closer, I saw it was a combination lighthouse and water slide. While you can climb (or fly) up, you can slide down. 

The lighthouse slide (slidehouse) is in Tad Pool (250,99.59).

 

New Tiki And Groto Linden Home Sims On Map

 

 When the first Tiki and Groto Linden Home sims went online earlier this month on Monday February 2, the homes in the eighteen sim area were all quickly snapped up in a matter of hours. Fortunately, the Moles have been continuing to work on more, adding sims with the new kind of Linden home around the original area (outlined in red above) and to it's south and southeast along the southern coast of the central part of Bellisseria. 

Figures on how many houses are left available are unknown, but the sims are open for anyone wishing to boat from Bellisseria to them (or swim underwater for any merfolk).

Tiki Linden Homes Appear on Map, Quickly Grabbed by Residents

 

 

 

Earlier today, the new Linden Homes, the Tiki and underwater Groto homes, were made available, the sims open and free to people to visit. There were several varieties of Tiki, and two types of the underwater groto.

Even though the homes were limited to Premium Plus residents, within hours, every single one had been grabbed up.

More on the homes later.

Winner of Final Linden Home Poll Announced: Tiki/Water Theme

 

Last Monday, August 5, Patch Linden announced in the Second Life forums the winner of the last Linden Home Poll. It was the Tiki/Water Theme, with Alpine Style Theme (Snow) as the runner up. 

The winner:  Tiki/Water Theme
Runner up:  Alpine Style Theme (Snow)

Owing to our offsite training, the team has fallen somewhat behind and is now focused on catching up. We have yet to determine which theme will be in line with Premium or Premium+, but we expect to make this decision promptly. 

Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll and helped decide the upcoming themes for Linden Homes!

The first of the three polls was announced on July 1, of which Tiki/Water and Alpine style were just two of 33 themes listed. The winner was supposed to have been announced a week earlier, on Monday July 28, but was delayed without comment for seven days. 

There was no comment about when the new theme will be available.

Furry Tiki Island

Have you wanted to just get away from it all, head to a tropical island and enjoy the ocean breeze while swimming in the water, sampling the food, or just resting in a hammock? There's a place that recently opened that allows all these, and more: Furry Tiki Island at the Havoc sim. The place offers more than just sights and sounds. The owner is promising to establish a DJ school.

Eye On The Blog: "Tiki-astik Party," Early Access to SL12B Avatar, For Premium Members

In their latest post on the official blog, Linden Lab announced a special party just for Premium members. The party takes place for one hour today, during which time those attending will be able to get access to the special Second Life Birthday avatar for this year.

Splish Splash - it’s a Tiki Beach Bash!

Premium members - this one is just for you, so be sure to save the date! We’ve lit the tiki torches and brushed up on our fruity drink-mixing skills to host a casual gathering with the added bonus of early access to our Official Second Life 12th Birthday commemorative avatar.

That’s right - come to the SL12B Premium Meetup on Thursday June 11th from 10:30 to 11:30 AM SLT, hang out with us, and be one of the first to glimpse and grab the celebratory 12th anniversary avatar. The nature of this particular avatar required us to select a remote island for our gathering as well as implement a strict quarantine on the subject, so you’re going to have to drop by our tropical jungle destination to find out what it is.

Linden Lab stated the avatar kiosk will remain up for Premium members to get the avatar from until Midnight SL time on Friday June 12, "even if you can’t come to the Tiki party, you can still get early access to the avatar." They also stated, "here will be more fun for all members to enjoy throughout the month."

It was just a few days ago in which the Lab announced an increase in the number of groups residents can join for Premium accounts only. It seems they're picking up the pace in which they offer perks for Premiums.
