New Zindra Blog Post

And most definitely not in the fun sort of way.

Yes! Amazing! No Lag!
Is that Blue Mars?

And... ZOMG! They have child avatars there too!!!
I'm sure I saw Mari - the one with the school bag.

10:32 and still new....guess won't hear anything today?

Yeah! Probably the same one I mentioned.
This is the greatest load of shite! That was the absolute best land in all of Zindra.
What sort of moronic half-assed mental defectives are running the show?
It's completely sickening.

10:07, so far not heard a thing, ticket still new.

Just once it would have been really nice to be wrong...

Did you expect any better? Seriously?

It was still an active thread, with about 15 posts in the last few hours.

It's times like this that make me SO glad I'm neither a landowner nor a premium account holder!

Looking at my Ticket History, I was rminded the the answer to my previous ticket on the 26st inst. regard a definition of "Equivalent Land" was

"we'll do what we can"
Yes, and f... you too!

scratch that my mind is not working today

Is there anyone i may yell at for 100 L$ ?^^

Submitted ticket at 10:05 ... seeing tickets from people who submitted later are already work in progress. Mine still at status 'New' ... after nearly 7 hours waiting.

And then seeing that some of the new landowners in Zindra seem to move from the Rocky Mountains to the tropical beach.

But, i will be patient for another few hours ... if i get the land that i want then

My first choice is gone but the 2nd and 3rd are still unassigned.

At this point, I'm taking no news to mean nothing more than "no news."

There was a comment from Couldbe Yue just before Blondin shut down the blog comments

https://blogs.secondlife.com/thread/1315

"I spoke to Brie about an hourish ago and at that stage they were up to around 10.02.. so if it's taking around 6 hrs to do a minutes worth of tickets then you probably won't find out for another couple of weeks yet (I'm sure these guys only do 8 hour days)."

If that were right, the first 5 minutes of tickets would take 30 hours or about 4 working days.

BUT
There seem to be reports of people posting tickets at 10:20 and getting WIP status.
My one at 10:05 is still New.

They are not processing tickets in the order received.

i don't know why you are all so anxious to move over there. soon enough, your tier will be increased. you have to know 'that's' coming...

I filed my ticket at 10:03 am.. and i am still *new* and people LATER than that are now work in progress? WTH.

~Brie

Oh gods and I couldn't find or submit my case till noon thier time....*bends over to pick up something.*

I don't think we yet have a "smoking gun"--actual parcel *assignment* that's not in the order of ticket number. We know some tickets are going from "New" to "Work in Progress" very far out of sequence, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're getting parcels yet.

We don't know that they aren't. We just don't have enough information to know for sure that they are.

do we even know that these work in progress claims are true?

This being the internet and the population makeup of sl in particular it is possible that some people are making these claims for "fun"

I just hope I get accepted, get some cool neighbors, and we can make some big 'ol co-op build

Well Sindy I know I can trust her for sure. I've known her a long time to know she would mislead intentionally.

and I've just done a quickish sweep of zindra and all the sims I checked (not every parcel of course) are still owned by the governor and are not set for sale.

by now they should be scooting though. It should only get hard after about the first 100 or so when most of the sims end up being taken by at least a patch of 512.

Something's wrong I think

I didn't know Sindy had made a claim, I only saw another one claiming wip after lodging around 10.30

Charlene Linden: Hello Brieanne_Bomazi! I am usually helping multiple people, but I will help you as soon as possible. Please begin by stating the issue, so I can begin helping as soon I can. If you already have a support ticket for this issue, please provide the number so I can take a look.
Brieanne_Bomazi: 4051-6484237 is the ticket, CHar, i am MOST upset, I understand 300 tickets in 10 minutes. I understand waiting my turn, but i am seeing people that filed tickets AFTER 10:30 getting land, and mine is still new, and i have a FULL sim to swap. Whats really going on?
Charlene Linden: Hello Brieanne!
Brieanne_Bomazi: hi
Charlene Linden: The tickets are being handled in the order they are received. You are absolutely right about the 300 tickets in 10 minutes but that was not the end of it. We have almost 600 now... and these will take weeks to work through.
Brieanne_Bomazi: i cant understand how if its first come, first served, how people that filed AFTER me already have land.
Brieanne_Bomazi: no, i had people posting in the wiki their ticket times
Brieanne_Bomazi: and they HAVE land already.
Brieanne_Bomazi: i filed mine at 10:03 am.
Brieanne_Bomazi: and i know its not YOUR fault, i do, but after 5 years in SL, 3 years in business on a full sim, i cant help but wonder whats really going on
Charlene Linden: I understand what you are saying... I am just explaining that if you have not gotten your land yet then it does make sense. We did just open this literally hours ago. Hang in there - we do expect this process to be a matter of weeks and we are no where near even 1/3 done.
Brieanne_Bomazi: i understand that, but if its first come, first serve, how are people that filed tickets at 10:30 and later getting ahead of me and at least 6 other people that filed before 10:10?
Brieanne_Bomazi: if it was all still the 10:00-10:02 people i wouldnt say a word, i'd just impatiently tap my foot and kill the coffee.
Brieanne_Bomazi: i dont want to jump in line, i simply want the proper PLACE in line.
Charlene Linden: Hehe okay let me ask you this then because I am honestly out of ideas... how can I assist you? Other than explaining how swamped we are and we absolutely are... how may I help you? I can not move your ticket in line and I do promise that you are not being skipped. I'd like to offer some kind of way to help reassure you of this.
Brieanne_Bomazi: i guess all i can say is 5+ years in SL and its obvious someone somewhere has an inside track. I am frustrated beyond all belief, i dont mind waiting, but someone needs to go back to the head of LL that said only 2-4% of the population is affected, and note you guys CANT keep up now, and its STILL not been made a major announcement.
Charlene Linden: Can you maybe give me the name of the person who you know for 100% absolute certain skipped you?
Brieanne_Bomazi: look on the blog.. let me pull it up
Brieanne_Bomazi: 2009/06/29 15:58] Brieanne Bomazi: what time did you file? [2009/06/29 15:58] ******: one of my picks was already taken [2009/06/29 15:58] *****: 10:04 first one [2009/06/29 15:58] *****: Did you? [2009/06/29 15:58] Brieanne Bomazi: cause my ticket is stamped 10:03 [2009/06/29 15:58] Brieanne Bomazi: and i havent heard shit. [2009/06/29 15:59]******: Yeah.. [2009/06/29 15:59] Brieanne Bomazi: wtf [2009/06/29 15:59] *****: I detect FIC [2009/06/29 16:00] *****: I know a 10:01 [2009/06/29 16:00] *****: and she is still waiting
Brieanne_Bomazi: he flat told me he filed after me
Brieanne_Bomazi: hes already a work in progress
Brieanne_Bomazi: Posted by Lias Leandros I submitted mine at 10:21 AM and mine is Work-in-progress now. Woot!
Brieanne_Bomazi: thats 2 right there.
Charlene Linden: When they are grabbed (meaning assigned) they are marked as a work in progress because that is the default system term for it. However, it does not mean it is actually a work in progress as in being completed by a human.
Charlene Linden: Please hang in there with us alright? We juuuust opened this hours i mean.. only hours ago. You are not being ignored and no one is here to offend you at all.
Brieanne_Bomazi: they need to explain that.
Charlene Linden: Okay go ahead and submit a ticket with this concern and ask for it to be reviewed by a supervisor. That is the last recommendation I have.
Brieanne_Bomazi: this is why we have been asking for exact clarification, because to a LOT of people, it looks likje folks are getting bumped ahead, and special treatment
Brieanne_Bomazi: i know its not you.. *nods* you have bosses, but i will, and thankl you for explaining that to me
Charlene Linden: Anytime. Have a good one Brieanne

10.05 here and still new....Bondage witch are building at Barnaby point and they were 10.04 i suspect the AC thread was closed to stop us monitoring tickets...lol

Good point. I'm not coming up with any way for anyone outside the Lab being able to tell for sure that two tickets were filled out of sequence. The best (worst?) we could do is know that somebody claims to have gotten land on a higher ticket number than somebody who claims their ticket was still unfilled.
