Did they take your order, Adam? Or did they say call back?

Well all know Adam's FIC, he's going to get a free one for calling.

How come no parcels?

Out of curiosity, how come there are no individual parcels for sale? The bad hardware makes sense for full sims, but there are lots of abandoned land parcels around.

TBH I cannot help but wonder if this has more to do with the 80 sims that flooded the market in bulk auction recently. If the land market is flooded it would make sence that they not add more to the auction before the bulk of other land auctioned off is sold. No this is not a slight against anyone in particular so let's not go down that path. This is a land flooding issue as far as I can tell so far. The fact that bad hardware was shipped to LL IMO is also true, as I have zero reason not to believe Adam.

This is the most likely explanation .. though who knows if they're telling Adam the truth or if they're telling whoever told Adam that explanation the truth.

There is indeed a problem with new sims, but we're working on getting more reclaimed smaller parcels up on the block from existing areas. Apologize for the delay!
