[3:40 PM PST] An hour later, and Second Life’s grid is pretty much stable. I’ve just touched base with Joe, Lexie, and Dee Linden inworld.

Search functionality mentioned below continues to be turned off, pending more work soon.

We’re going to be on the preemptive watch for any future happenings.

[2:39 PM PST] Emergency work was done by our Linden engineers in the last hour. Things are cooling off right now, albeit functionality like Search, which will continue to be off until we can figure how to turn it back on without adversely stressing the grid — and you! — in the process.

I’m here 24/7 to blog updates about any more grid woes that come up on the weekend.

So even if you can’t see me, I… and my fellow Lindens are here, watching over you.

[2:24 PM PST] We again apologize for how upsetting these disruptions have been to your Second Lives. Rest assured we’re doing everything possible to stabilize the situation; it’s been very tiring experiencing the same issues over and over, going through the same pains redundantly. :\

Related, we’ve heard questions about the possibility of not charging parcel listing fees (as found in About Land > Options tab as “Show in Search > Places”) and Classifieds this week due to Search being broken. We’re certainly going to examine what we can do to help.

[2:11 PM PST] Search > Popular Places and Places tab continue to be turned off to alleviate database load. It looks like this.

[2:03 PM PST] There don’t appear to be any new issues here, it’s the same ugly flare-ups like before. So the issues mentioned below are not all-inclusive. :(

IMPORTANT: For a bigger list of what’s been problematic previously and continues to be right now — like teleports timing out — please see the Grid Status Updates.

[1:52 PM PST] REMEMBER: Logins will be slow and you may get a blank white screen. Please stay in the login queue and don’t try to relog — it just takes longer. I’m currently conversing with my fellow Lindens about what’s going on here.

I am sitting glued by my computer to update you.

[Dec. 2 @ 1:49 PM PST] Just wanted to post ASAP we’re totally aware Search, L$ transfers, Inventory items not rezzing, etc. and other problems like the ones reported earlier are happening again.

We’re on it — more news soon.
