Second Life Down for Scheduled Maintenance [Updated]
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 at 7:51 AM by: CG LindenAs announced earlier, Second life is being taken down for scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, August 22, 08:00am SLT (PDT) (15:00 GMT).
[Updated 10:40] The bulk of the work is done. We are performing internal testing now. One issue has been identified and is being investigated.
[Updated 11:00] First set of issues is resolved, but a new one has been discovered and is being worked on now. Once this is resolved, we need to complete additional testing prior to opening up the grid. We expect this to be completed by 11:30.
[Updated 11:25] The new issue has been resolved, but deploying the fix and subsequent testing will take some additional time. We now expect the grid to open by 12:00
[Updated 12:15] We have completed deployment for the fix and are continuing testing.
[Updated 12:45] We have identified another problem, resolved it and deployed the fix. We are again testing prior to opening up.
[Updated 13:05] We have identified yet another issue which would affect inworld email delivery. We are currently fixing it and resuming testing.
[Updated 13:30] Email delivery to and from Secondlife is not currently working. This affects any scripted objects that use email and the transmission to and from Secondlife IM via email. Our developers have identified the issue and are currently working on a fix. We need to get this resolved before we re-open the grid.
[Updated 14:25] We’re open!
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:54 AM
BUT WHY MUST GRID DOWN NEED EUR FRIENDLY WHINER POST FIX PROBLEMS NOT FEATURES WAH!
Did I get that out of all of our systems?
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:54 AM
1. how long will this take?
2. what’s being accomplished?
3. why do you have to take down the entire grid for every upgrade?
4. is there a client update with this? If so, is it finally in the form of a patch, rather than a full version?
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:55 AM
good luck this time…rofl
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:55 AM
What time will it be back up?
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:56 AM
Well, which is it? PDT or GMT?
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:56 AM
Why does it have to be every darn week and ever darn day we have to go thru this nonsense!!! Doesnt someone know how to develop a system thats stable? geesh
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:56 AM
“August 22, 2007, 7:55 am Second Life is Down for Scheduled Maintenance. We are planning on returning to service at 11am SLT (PDT)”
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:57 AM
Wow - nothing like trying to confuse us all by mixing your time zones.
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:57 AM
Wow, 7 hours scheduled down time? Is that a typo????
Please, please PLEASE do not use this update to make the voice viewer mandatory, PLEASE.
And it would be VERY nice is this (very lengthy) downtime includes the means to figure out where our vanished stuff has gone to. I’ve lost almost 1500 items in the last 10 days (and yes, I had copy perms on the objects and rezzed them on a parcel I had perm to rez on…and SL STILL ate them!).
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:58 AM
If you had copy permissions, you should have copied. Then nothing would be lost.
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:59 AM
Why are you acting like did not expect this? it has been posted on the blog for a few day? We need this down time.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:00 AM
Why all the negative posts??? I anyone of us can do better and build a system like this..then apply for the job. Quit your whinning and accept this as a nessaccary evil.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:00 AM
keep up the AWESOME work!!!
I have been playing for allmost 6 months now and i NEVER ONCE lost a inventory item
You people that lose things, you must be doing something wrong!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:00 AM
Wow, from two hours down, to three hours down, to now SEVEN hours down?? Yikes!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:01 AM
LL. You might want to start taking some time to remove the 100 or so illegal gambling operations I’ve filed notices about while you are doing the this maintenance. I don’t want to see SL shut down by the Feds becuase you’re not doing your job keeping gambling out of SL!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:01 AM
Announced earlier? Where and when?
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:01 AM
SEVEN HOURS? okay, hopefully things will run smoother after LL does some work.. if that’s the case I can stay away for seven hours.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 AM
LOL — Just woke up got online and boom — 2 mins later, grid closing for maintenance! Maybe I missed something I didn’t know there was going to be maintenance LOL, well good luck linden lab hopefully everything goes well with this update!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 AM
How long will it be down?
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 AM
I hope the maintenance fixes the slew of problems they’ve been having lately. /obligatory whining off
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 AM
thought it was only 3 hours
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 AM
It’s not 7 hours downtime - read the blog entry properly.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 AM
Hurry, i cant be anymore without SL
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 AM
maybe we could have recent fix since it has been down a loooooooongggggg time i hope u all have a great day
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 AM
not again…
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 AM
oh no no no no nononononooooooo
It’s my fault I didn’t see the announcement:(
But still, guys this is toooo long! I NEED to upload my textures please please guys be quick
I can’t live without SL
lol
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:03 AM
I think downtime with anything should be expected you know? Perhaps this could be the moment where they could finally resolve some lag issues and packet loss. Perhaps today of all days as we stand here at the beginning not the end of all things we can master the SL experiance to the best of our avabilities and overcome the lag as one together! FIGHT THE LAG….
ok lolz @ me.. I just wanted to have a comment in here too
thanks now I feel special. :)))
SECONDLIFE FOREVER! WOOT!!!! WOOT!!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:03 AM
@11 Buster, you REALLY cant be serious?? At the tender age of 6 months, you would DARE suggest that ppl who loose items have done something WRONG??? You need to get a THIRD LIFE until you understand wth you are talking about.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:03 AM
@ Calliope…all your questions are answered in this post… http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/08/17/scheduled-downtime-wednesday-822-900am-1100am-pdt/
for those who dont understand time zones…15:00 GMT = 8:00 SLT or PDT…they are telling you when it will start..not the duration…
and last but not least…this is the first rollout of het-grid…their new way of handling upgrades and updates into the future…it will make testing of new features able to be done on the main grid, and will give residents a lot more control over when and if they perform their own viewer updates…now…take three deep breaths..and repeat after me….”this is a goooooooood thing”…
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:03 AM
15, Its not. One fix will create two more problems.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:03 AM
Please fix the recent inventory while you are at it.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
I think people are misreading the post. It will only be down until 1pm slt or 13:00 hours slt.
8SLT = 15:00 GMT. Thats when the downtime is STARTING.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
it will take approx 3 hours. but useally it goes over.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
I hope there will be a fix for the voice on mac clients. I have been trying SL on two macs, no voice at all after the public voice release. =(
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
Good luck, be quick, fix things and yay for a hug just as sl goes down :)) Oh and in the UK its 4pm. And please do pj parties at your end and put it down when the uk isnt prime time. PJ parties are fun!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
It does not say how long it will take. Only that it will begin at 8:00 am PDT (which is equivalent to 15:00 GMT).
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
I read it as “only” 3 hrs downtime.. well, time to clean the bathroom I guess!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
Unfortunately, if you lost stuff, it’s gone. ‘Nuff said. I mean, -gone-, but just unlinked from your record in the database, it jsut doesnt exist anymore.
Would be kind of nice to know whats going on, but eh,… Whoever asked for a patch- ITS 30 BLOODY MEGS?! Thats -nothing- even compared to PATHES you get for games liike WoW.
Head on ovver to #secondlife on EFNET IRC for some good times.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
@8
The downtime begins at 8:00 PDT or 15:00 GMT. There is no mention of how long the downtime is going to last.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
This is incrediably complicated software. It works or we wouldn’t keep using it. Thanks to the Lindens and the Company.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
I only wonder WHY all the updates/downtimes/etc are always at the same time, normally between 7am to noon SLT, im european.. know what this means? When the grid is off, it means no SL for me today.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
maybe they will fix what the screwed up last week eh? sl has never been as crashy and visually distorted with alpha ordering problems as it has been for the last week.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 AM
Why don’t you do the scheduled maintenances over night?
I mean, taking down the entire grid just at the time that we get home from work you take down the entire grid untill we need to go to sleep for our next day of work. SL Would be much more attractive if scheduled maintenance would be done at night.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:05 AM
Please stop taking the grid down on Wednesdays….do it in the middle of the night EST. you know like 3:00am when not that many people are here…
thanks
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:05 AM
Get the bugs out in version 1… I’m looking forward to version 2! Obligatory siding with LL off….
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:05 AM
Hey guys, get it right.
We brits are on BST right now. 1 hour forwards.
You do it every time.
BST = Summertime = GMT+1
GMT = Wintertime
Write that down and stick it on the wall.
Bye xxx
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:05 AM
Please if you all upthere are fixing things, please dont forget the inventory, so its running well without losses!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:05 AM
7 hours is really much, and again it hits the Europe timezone.
It is now 17:00 in Europe. And 7 hours later we have midnight when the dowmtime is over. So no SL for Europe this day anymore.
And now first we have to see if the downtime will bring something good. So good that this is one of the last downtimes SL needs.
Goodluck LindenLab! May luck be with you:P.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:05 AM
August 22, 2007, 7:55 am Second Life is Down for Scheduled Maintenance. We are planning on returning to service at 11am SLT (PDT)
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:05 AM
What happened!!!!
I have never had a complaint with SL
I logged on this morning and my work is gone!!!
about 1000 items in my inventory cannot be found after plenty of time to “load” and around 150 of those are sculpt maps that I had paid to upload
What happened and what can be done?
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:05 AM
well some body need a new watch 8 am pdt is 16.00gmt come on guys get it right
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM

Write this down GMT never changes. GMT is used as a standard in a lot of computer applications.
Just because you are on BST doesn’t mean GMT changed.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
Hi Perfect! Just at a moment i have to finish something. I do understand the grid needs mantainance.
But… Why do you choose always for a griddown at the moment my timzone (GMT+1) is comming to SL. Maybe you can arrange the next mantainence at a time another Timzone finds it closed. Working in the evening or night can be fun to. Even for the Lindens. Lol.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
Well I also need to add in the past few months I have not lost any inventory, I’ve been in game much longer and lost a rather expensive item and other small things but lately things have been better!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
OK at the mo the UK are on daylight saving time so 3pm is really 4pm so it will be up again at 7pm
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
I agree with you Jazzine, packet loss has not picked any certain people and to say that the one’s losing must be doing something wrong is just unjustified.. I own a club, loads of land and I have lost sooooo much…. perhaps buster just doesn’t have many items to lose?
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
Oh Great..
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
Please please please please…. do your job we love sl keep it alive <3
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
I have a idea, stop adding content untill you get the game stable, its getting old seeing the same thngs break over and over and over.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
Second Life will be unavailable from 8:00am-11:00am PDT (15:00-18:00 GMT) for a scheduled update. No viewer update will be required.
As stated in an earlier blog;-)
Cheers,
Ami
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
INNAH there are 10,000 people logging in ever week and 3 milion users registered, and god knows how many sims (sorry if that line was offencive to some people). So you jusat have to cope and think “linden arte making the game better”. Lags wont be sorted out because there parcel owner problems
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:06 AM
ps…the downtime is NOT seven hours…it is three hours….deep breaths again….repeat after me….”it’s only three hours…sigh”
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
7 hours is of course unacceptable.
Linden Labs, this is the last time I’m going to whine, so pucker up:
You really, really made some huge mistakes with design and implementation of this monstrosity. Many of us have been telling you how to fix things from pretty much day 1, but always you know better than we do.
Evidently you should have listened.
But it’s too late for that now. You’ve sunk into irrelevancy at this point–and it’s only a few steps from there to extinction. Are you going to continue on the path you’re on, or are you going to start to finally fix it?
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
h8
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
I didn’t see anything about the downtime being 7hrs??? I thought it was only 3? What did I miss? lol. Great, now I actually have to work.

August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
Ok, since it’s hard to look in the blog list, I will post from a previous blog for your lols:
Second Life will be unavailable from 8:00am-11:00am PDT (15:00-18:00 GMT) for a scheduled update. No viewer update will be required.
When it says Wednesday, August 22, 08:00am SLT (PDT) - 15:00 GMT, it means it begins at 8am SLT, or 15:00 GMT. It’s not that hard to figure out, rather than posting senseless “OMG HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?!?” “OMG SEVEN HOURS? LOLZ!”
Sheesh, use your brains, folks.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
@ 11: actually no…I think it was about a week ago that, out of the blue, I lost my wedding ring. I was wearing it when I decided I needed a relog. After logging in I got the message that an object couldn’t be created cause it was missing from the database. It turned out to be my wedding ring, an object I hadn’t done anything with in a long time since i value it’s meaning and therefor I never take it off.
You’re just one of the lucky people! I was one of you until the above happened…
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
I feel a littel sorry for all this having a hard time while
Linden try fix some things. I hope they remove the
voice options again and take down all Ban lines and
ban them totaly… I also belive in Santa Claus…
An while they work on the grid.. I will make some more
And I have lost some
textures adding to the lag
things. My 50 maps texture vendor.. When I click
on it… there was no name on the creator or the
owner.. and it disapers.. when I try take it.. So
what did I do wrong then ????

August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
Good luck LL; hope you conquer The Monster of Lag forever!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
Lets Fix This BRING BACK OUR GAMES! YOU COMMYs !!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
I finally fixed up everything on sl 2 days ago i crashed for like freakin 25 times in 2-3 hours and you guys are doing this again and again every week ive been playing for almost a year now and i have never seen any program that has had as much updates as sl does i hope we dont go back to having issues again… fingers crossed
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:07 AM
oh well that slife
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
Once again we here In Europe Get A RAW Deal From the USA
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM

8 pdt equivalent 16 gmt

For the ones that missed it earlyer, bookmark this page : http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=grid-downtime%40lindenlab.com&mode=MONTH
That will keep you informed.
Happy waiting
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
Yeah right.
But our clocks read the time it is now, not one hour ago.
We’re quite clever like that.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
People, we KNEW it was going down, good lord.
We know that it will take 3 hours, we know there will not be a viewer download after the update, we know there will be a rolling update of no more than 3 hours afterwards for the sims to have them pick up the new code, we know that the update will introduce the first iteration of our Het Grid.
Well that is …if you’ve read past blog posts about this maintenance, this one:
http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/08/17/scheduled-downtime-wednesday-822-900am-1100am-pdt/
If people would only learn how to read before throwing a million questions at everyone while the answers to them are already been noted.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
thinks that calliope is unable to tell time…or unwilling to read prior posts….regardless…she wishes to whine….so offers her some cheese to go with that whine….
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
Hey LL.
Why did you remove my post about not taking action on the gambling sites I’ve been submitting? Use this downtime to address this issue as well!!
I think this is an issue that needs to be addressed before the Feds take action against SL!
With no other means of publicly voicing opions to your staff, I figure this is the best way.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
Make it stable please and replace that stupid Communicate window… Thanks!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
downtime today is 3 hours 8:00-11:00 Linden time, plus rolling restart later, see the blog
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
lol Buster
anyway - I suspect this downtime is all about voice and HET.
I wouldn’t count on anything being fixed - just “shinier”
Either way - good luck Lindens - I continue to dream of a livable grid.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
well , SL is going to do a scheduled update again, I hope they get it right the first try… about people loosing things.. I’ve been on SL over a year now and never lost a thing… except in my inventory cause I can’t find it.. ha ha haaa… I wonder why so many people are loosing things, even when they have copy perm? anyways , I hope everyone passes the time doing something constructive.. me , I plan to clean my house, and maybe read a little… I almost forgot what books were because SL is so addictive… peace all
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
It’s not 7 hours ppl, it’s THREE. READ THE BLOG.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
please fix the recent items in inventories ..my recent items are now my old items and my old items are now acient items ..Please ..Please …. pretty please xxxx
xxx
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:08 AM
So learn offset from GMT like everyone else and stop expecting LL to remember what your clock says.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
Why is that update always in the best european time?
And in that time where most of the people are online ?????
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
Old dogs learning new tricks
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
Fuck this. Every week offline. This game sucks.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
Ok like I totally have a real life so like, i really don’t give a flying S&$T if the grid is down for like, 7 hours BUT CAN YOU FIX THE RECENT ITEMS ISSUE, for FuXSakeS!!!!!!!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
According to the Blog last week, downtime is expected to last 2 hours, but the watch this space part of todays posting is looking like they aren’t sure? Some more info would be nice.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
7 hours? try 3. 8-11 slt.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
Lol. Well, It WAS POSTED THAT IT WOULD BE CLOSED SO STOP WHINING! Lol, And I hope this fixes ALL PROBLEMS
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
Lol this down time 8- 15 doesnt mean 7 hours repairing, but that it will be at 15 greenwich time…. and 8 am us time….
Hmm….nice….i will have time to make my household things..:D
Hope you will improve it, and change it horrible user interface to the earlier, hate checking groups contacts and talk in one tab…ech…
i hope also you will do it quickly….and the good thing i have notice is not many people are complaining..:D Taht means holidays are doing them good….reh reh reh….
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
C’mon people. It’s friggin Wednsday. If you play SL enough you know every Weds. is … say it with me now … maintenance day! So get off your lazy butts and do something productive. Thank you SL, now I can finally take a shower on time and clean my house and not be late for actual important stuff I need to do.
<3<3<3
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM
Ahhh yes another downtime. Well I for one dont mind it because it helps me get more stuff done RL. I just want to say good luck with the updates today as I am sure that they are needed. People if you would only understand that Linden Lab is made up of many different teams and each team has a job. There is a team that developes new features and a team that fixes things. I do read the blogs alot and every time I do I hear the same things. Stop adding new features and fix the broken ones. Well the thing is that they are fixing the broken ones. It might not be instant like you want but they are doing it. Oh and just a reminder that SL is a USA company and thats why the down times are in the morning PST which is also local time for Linden Labs RL. In order to be staffed right to do these updates, they need to do them at a time that the staff is at work since alot of it is physical on site updates. So next time you want to start complaing about the downtime during hours that are prime to you, think about the people doing them. They are real people doing a real job during real business hours. Sorry this was so long but normally when I go to post the blog is full already. SEE YOU ALL AT SLCC 2007!!!! HOO!!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 AM

August 22nd, 2007 at 8:10 AM
I lost my favorite dancemachine. I crashed more than 10(!) yesterday when i playing on a great party as sl dj. The GridWide slowdown… To many problem…
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:10 AM
Haha. Yep, so right people
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:10 AM
Have you ever tried having more than one grid like Runescape? then there’ll be less players clogging up each one. sorry, not sure if i mean grids or servers, but im sure you know what i mean. I already have enough trouble locating most of my friends due to the time differences. Some people are a bit lost without this for soooo long a time. Anyway, i think this game is brilliant and the makers are genuises. xx
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:10 AM
How about running 2 SL’s?
Whilst another is being updated and tested,
people could keep going on in the other one?
Just making sure/warning people
from making any changes since they’ll be lost when the updated version comes on-line.
Wishing you all nice day!

August 22nd, 2007 at 8:10 AM
How is 8am until 11am seven hours? What do they teach you people in schools?
And to all the whiners, I say ” Go play on the other Second life.”
Oh wait, there isn’t one. Thats right, this is one of a kind software, doing something that has never been done before. It’s not going to ever work perfectly unless they stop being state of the art, and I for one don’t want that. I’m happier at the cutting edge, even if it does come off the rails sometimes.
Keep pushing the boundaries LL, I’m behind you.
(Still not convinced about voice tho)

hmmm, now I have time to have target pratice with my neighbors cat:)
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:11 AM
Ok like I totally have a real life so like, i really don’t give a flying S&$T if the grid is down for like, 7 hours BUT CAN YOU FIX THE RECENT ITEMS ISSUE, for FuxsakeS!!!!!!!!!
ps.
WTF is this:::
Whoops!
There was a small systems error. Please try refreshing the page and if the error is still there drop us a note and let us know.
like that note will EVER be looked at ROFL!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:11 AM
Isnt it a good idea to post a link to the release notes? So we can easily see what this is going to fix ?

To #2 -
1. Like it said, 8A-11A, thats two(2) hours. please read before asking.
2. Completing the work to bring Het Grid into existence. (If you want to know what Het Grid is, beyond what I say in #3, visit Zero Linden’s Wiki and read the transcripts of his office hours. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Zero_Linden Or better yet, stop by them and listen first hand.)
3. This upgrade is designed to slow (and eventually stop) bringing the whole grid down. It will allow multiple server versions to run on the grid at the same time. Multiple Client Versions too!
4. Patches aren’t going to be coming for a long time.. Creating a patch system isn’t priority. Btw, is 30 Megs REALLY that bad? its not like your on Dialup. (Yes, That was Sarcasm.. I’ve been asking for patches for 8 months. Its not a priority.)
And before we get it, let me post this: The reason that Europe has to “Suffer” with losing SL during their “Prime Hours” (Its only from 3p-5p GMT.) is NOT because they are catering to American customers. It is because they are performing the work early in Linden Lab’s Business Day. For them, the office has been open an hour or two (maybe more depending on some Lindens schedules), the majority of the working staff is in the building, and as a result the entire staff can be mobilized to work on the update, testing or whatnot. OR in the event of a catastrophic failure of the update, the entire staff is available to test/diagnose/revise the software to get it back online.
What would you say if they pushed an upgrade out at say, Midnight SLT, the upgrade had a catastrophic failure, and as a result the grid would be shut down until 3 or 4 the following day since they had to wait for everyone to come to work in the morning?
And before you ask, No, you can not simply bring the entire staff in at Midnight on Wednesday. That would make it impossible to conduct business on Wednesday or Thursday during their normal business hours.
I understand the reason behind it. Hopefully now you do to!

Aesop Thatch Says: “Unfortunately, if you lost stuff, it’s gone. ‘Nuff said. I mean, -gone-, but just unlinked from your record in the database, it jsut doesnt exist anymore.”
Are u sure abt this? My gf lost 7000+ items for hours, and got it all back again, after it started returning after an hour or two. (slowly counting up tho)
Good Luck Lindenlab, we know ur trying hard…

@ The quality of my audio seems to have gotten worse since voice release… will this fix that? Is there a list of what’s being worked on somewhere? Thanks! ,
I haven’t noticed this could this be a driver issue?
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:11 AM
ok, IM gonna say this even though my comments are never approved. But Linden. Pleaser think harder. This game is enough to make someone poor looking at the prices. I would NEVER pay for a game. Addicted or not. And with so many viruses, trojan bugs and lags. Frequent shutdowns. This game needs to go back to BETA. its obviously not working, and prices need rethinking. because im thinking about poor people who want to pay to play this game. who eventually end up poor because they got addicted and payed for it, goes for teen second life too.

encore une mise à jour à l’horizon …. une de plus … c’est la fin des vacances et l’heure des retrouvailles, merci à vous …. de quoi retourner sur msn en fait ….
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:11 AM
Yeah, lot of crashing lately, but this isn’t a bug fix update, this is work on the Het Grid.
lol @ complaining about downtime when they work on it. I assure you, whining about downtime while they work on something that will eventually lead to by far less downtime is falling on deaf ears.

A Extention of the amount of groups might be nice to.
As merchant i’m always short, 25 just isnt enough.

OK, FOR ALL THOSE WHO DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PDT AND GMT YET, I WILL USE CAPITALS. I KNOW IT IS RUDE BUT IN THIS TIIME AND AGE ONLYN RUDENESS SEEM TO WORK.
IT WAS ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK WITHN THE CORRECT AND CONFIRMED TIMES. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WILL TAKE PLACE BETWEEN 8:00 AM PDT (1500 GMT) AND 11:00 AM PDT (1700 GMT). IF A PARENTHESIS HAD BEEN USED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IN THE OFFICIAL BLOG ENTRY BUT PLEASE PEOPLE STOP WHINING OR GO TO WORK AT LINDEN LAB!
For all the kinder gentler people out there, there will be a maintenance work carried our for three hours starting now, with rolling restarts. No updates are available.
For all those who do not understand what PDT and GMT is, they are:
PDT=Central European Time less 9 hours, BST less 8 hours
GMT=Central European Time less 2 hours, BST less 1 hour.
Ciao,
Sandor

Sorry - since December 2006 I lost just one item (a cushion) and that was probably my fault. SL no longer crashes on me (in months) and never have any problems except when i lag it by leaving too much rubbish on my beach. Sorry - go ahead and flame me. Rock on LL

Temporal Mothra hasn’t got twenty years of network engineering experience, but does have a nice watch, apparently.
