[RESOLVED]Inworld Issues and Logins
Friday, April 25th, 2008 at 9:52 PM by: Twilight Linden[RESOLVED 22:58] The network situation appears stable, so we’re sounding the All-Clear. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
[UPDATE 22:18] Ops says the network problem has been fixed, we’ve regained contact with the rest of the world, and things should quickly be returning to normal. We’ll be monitoring the situation, and if no further complications arise, we’ll be giving the all-clear shortly.
There is a major issue causing problems with a number of inworld services, including problems with profiles, teleporting, and maps as well as interfering with logins. Ops is investigating and early indications are that we are being affected by a major networking issue. Please monitor this post for updates.

damn
April 25th, 2008 at 9:52 PM
Ouch.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 PM
Frist
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 PM
Again? It almost seemed like it was working for a day or so, too.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 PM
Nearly 90% of logged residents just crashed. That seems highly “major”.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 PM
You company really needs to get its yit together
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 PM
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 PM
I was told verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slowly in chat that a server went down. How will we be compensated for down time?
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 PM
Full Of Fail………another day at LL.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 PM
Ooh, another problem with SL…imagine that….
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 PM
FREE TIBET!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
I’m freakin’ psychic.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
@4 a day? .. you must have not been hear earlier.. try a few hours
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Well at least you got around to telling us. Thank you Twilight.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
OMG..what we gonna do now
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Forgot to feed the hamster? :p
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Big time OUCH!!!!!!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Well, the bigger a network gets, the more vurnable it gets.
I’m crossing my fingers for you guys at LL.
Also, in before the first angry flames. Brace yourselves
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Oh well what is new.. gotta love them bugs
lets do more updates to mess things up and not fix the first bugs there are first.. damn sorry frustrated 
i was building
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
ok i dont know exactly how it works but maybe the grid should be split in several grids,instead of 70,000 residents for one database,split it in 10,so that at least not everyone is out at the same time and i imagine easier to fix and a lot more happier residents
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 PM
M Linden what ya gonna do. Its time to get to work new Mr. CEO!!!! Your company is crumbling to the ground. How’s that customer service background ya got helping us right now???? I’m sure P Linden is laughing at us right now…
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
AHAHAHA
=(
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Oke Again Hare Wi go (*_*)
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Just great I have a Auction going and I can’t get back to it, FIX the damn thing now and forever so I don’t have to drive out to San Fransisco and Fix it my self
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
/me whimpers ‘Can you let just me in? Pretty please?’
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
AGAIN ? .. I wonder if this is the shape of things to come .. hmmm
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Took you guys long enough to figure out there was a problem here…
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Major Networking Issue…. sigh
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
No kidding…I more and likely just lost my cool ass armor i just got done with “:/” snice somebody dont know how to work the things ^^
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
“being affected by a major networking issue.” um…what does this mean other than you guys still can’t figure it out? PULEEZ do not have a repeat of 3 weeks ago, i have too much to actually do.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Reposting since apparently you people ate my comment. I said, nice of you to notice the issues over 20 minutes AFTER the fact. On a prime time friday night gaming time. Get real and wake up.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Umm yeah there is a problem.. active users online dropped from about 50K people to 13K in a matter of minutes, yet it took LL 15 minutes before they noticed to even post here.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
13,505 ppl who get in SL is only BOT and LL employee??
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
This happened just when I was playing truth or dare and the dare was: Go to a newbie area and shout out ‘I NEED A NOOB!’ and then I crashed and I can’t get back in now my friends will think I went home with a Noob.
Thank you M. Linden, your New Era of Stability is off to a roaring start.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
I have a spare APPLE II PLUS, that may help to keep SL online next time. It will run in compliment to all the TRS-80s you guys have now… let me know.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
I’m shocked.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
Chicken little has been clucking….hear that????
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
I just crashed a half hour ago….and cannot Log back in…Logins are a major issue and transactions, and Teleporting, Uploading…whatever happened to Maintenance days? I remember when you guys took a day to just fix things in world to keep it stable. How about going back to that?
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
bad day for a sim opening
at least we had most of the people through already
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
Man were not gunna get in for a long time :/
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
Get better equipment lol
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
Man you guys need to chill, I was waiting long enough to see the new post, the whole of you are jumping on this one now, give it a rest and go do something else.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:56 PM
Ugh, everytime i bring up the map in world, it freezes then crashes me like 5 times. I find that Highly major, and needs to be taken care of. Infact theres alot of things in SL needing fixed lol.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
I’m just straight up laughing is that okies?
0,o
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
unbelivable. i mean….i just dont have anything to say anymore. this is beyond words at this point.
/shakes head and walks away
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
I was sooooo in the middle of something. Could we do this another time??? Have network problems I mean?
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
sweet xD
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
I love the new game we as impatient residents have developed… see how fast we can fill 150 comments. We’re getting real good.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
If i had a linden for each 5 minutes SL went down, I would have billions of lindens in the last year alone!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Im so freakin bored tonight that I could slap my mama. Please help my mama out and fix this ISH…
XOXOXO, Adham
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Bugger.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
well at least i know it’s not -my- problem.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
O…..M……G……….
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
O m g!! AGAIN! *Growls* Figures! Seriously fixxxx thissss sh*ttt
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
There goes my plans for my Friday night. Was just about to rendezvous with a friend…what a pity.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
major network issue, harrumph.
What happens when M’s phone rings at 3 am?
So much for the benefit of the doubt.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
GRR!!!! Fix it NOW
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Yup kinda figured that out half hour ago when I tried transporting and crashed and couldn’t get back in….typical
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Ahh thats why… not i need to find something else to keep me up.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Great start to the weekend!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
SAVE THE WHALES!! SAVE THEM BIG FAT FUNKY WHALES!!!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Not one of the pissed-off ones- I’m actually laughing quite hard at the moment. And I’m only writing this because the timing is just so incredibly perfect that I had to share…
At this moment in Caledon, on the little island of Middlesea, there’s a little Russian Orthodox church, and right now it’s full of people, waiting. Waiting in vain.
I was literally on the threshhold, a half-second away from walking down the aisle and geting married, when everything died. Man, whatever took us out absolutely nailed the perfect moment. I couldn’t have done it better if I’d orchestrated it myself.
Thought someone out there might enjoy.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
So yeah i don’t think Its just inworld now…your Log-in’s are down as I’ve yet to be inworld at all.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
another friday night and we cant get in because sl is having problems. hmmmm, how odd !
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Waiting for annother BS post from Katt Linden :
WAIT KATT I’LL SAVE YOU TYPING IT IN !!!!!!!!!!
Katt Linden Says:
April 25th, 2008 at 4:36 PM
Thanks for your comments, everyone. I appreciate how very much you care about Second Life.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Still tapping on the puter desk waiting…..lol
Guess I will get some sleep tonight and see what tomorrow brings
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Really now.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
It’s awesome that this site gets on to reporting sl issues so quickly, that helps a lot, to know its not just my computer, thanks
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Didn’t we just have “Major Networking Issues” with your ISP two weeks ago? Shouldn’t they have fixed it permanently by now?
Sheesh.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Poor M Linden….Taking the blame already…
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
didn’t we just do this? friday night meltdown revisited. nice to see that it only took half an hour to post this on the blog; SL(R) is looking up.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Let me see. It’s a weekend and SL is in the crapper. A strange sense of deja vu is coming over me.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
>
this is getting to be ridiculous….
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
*studiously ignores Syldavian*
Of course, I forgot, it’s the weekend … the weekend when people actually have time to enjoy SL and it has ‘problems’. Oh joy of joys … two more days of log in problems before the next work week.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
this coincided with a griefing incident we had on Selby…. wonder if they are related?
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
yay TY for informing us, LL! (no im not being sarcastic now)
hope u guys can fix this quickly for all this ppl, now me.. imma go sleep and dont finish someth i was doing for my business when i just crashed.. :’(
in my opinion u guys should take a break from improving SL, to make it stable, without issues almost everyday.. and then when that happens, could start again SLOWLLLYYYYYYYY improving it..
(i dont even agree that windlight is not separated anymore from “normal” sl.. my game lately has been running way slower, and much more “lag”.. hmpft.. and the best thing is that i cant even make sea shinny.. still wondering why, would love to have an answer for that)
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
just another friday-night/saturday-morning is this what 3rd or 4th in a row? typical. oh; there may mave been a saturday/sunday in there too.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
The problem has lasted a half hour already.
So, how about updating “http://secondlife.com/status/” ?
That is where the error message says to look.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Okay, is it me, or is it that every since they bought that other company out, SL has been MORE unstable then ever???
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Two words… REDUNDANT CONNECTION
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Are we there yet?????
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Why did it take so long for Linden Lab to blog about this?
I haven’t been able to log in for ages.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Dudes, you like need more tubes or something.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Compensation?
April 25th, 2008 at 9:58 PM
The weekend and SL’s borked? No way!!!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
I think it is all down. watched the #’s go down on online users.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
why does it always take so long for LL to let people know about the outage instead of having us trying to login for a half an hour before the the blog is posted.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Ya i’m new and this kind of sucks
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
@20 Nah. Then you’d just have 10 grids that are down all the time.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Yeah, I’m getting the whole “Something has gone wrong…blahblahblah” SL is getting worse and worse every minute. I cant even stay logged in for 10 mins without it freezing up and dying.
It’s really annoying.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Hey does everyone know that there havin login issues and sims crashing again……ok…oh wait this is SL, sure u did..old news
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
:O
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
OMG, this is getting to beyond a joke, seems every day we are having a “Major’ crash, malfunction or some type of disruption.
come on guys
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
anyone want to play Halo 3?????
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Oh an here is an idea - give people 4 weeks for a solution or layoff. Funny the motivation that provokes. If my business dies, I leave. If everyone gives up for same reason - ……. I am just one lowly person but seriously i am REALLY close. And only saying that because i stick around through a lot. I am a stubborn person when i want success. But i also know when to give up and its getting super close…..
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Oh, wow, really?
In SL?
On a weekend?
Unheard of!
(This is getting REALLY ANNOYING! So much so that I have a tag on (in the rare occassions where SL actually works for me) that says “ANNOYED by SL!”; I recommend everyone else to do the same, let’s see if they start getting their act together once they start seeing people all around with tag complainning about their poor performance).
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
you don’t even want to know what i was in the middle of…
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
I think what I hate most is how generic this posts is. Basically “Something went wrong and we’re trying to fix it.” We *know* something went wrong. We *hope* you’re trying to fix it. Can you be a little more specific then ‘Oops it happened again’ because really.. that went out of style a long time ago..
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
*Yawns* Ya don’t say…
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
This is really starting to get quite annoying and you all want us to be apid subscribers not until you can keep this thing up for 1 month nonstop
lol
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
come onnn guys .. get it working.. this is getting rediculous. I’ve been with you guys for years, got an account banned for a reason I still cannot grasp, and yet..I’m still here.. I enjoy Sl this much to stay..but this.. is getting aggrivating
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
I’m seeing slowdowns and failures on sites on the web outside of Secondlife.com — something major going on on the ‘net tonight?
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Honestly…I thought I finally got banned or something…
Thank M it’s a server issue….
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Would be nice if they do something about this “issue”.. and not only “investigate”
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Problems again, Folks.
Logins for me and all of my friends are not working. the error message “Something unexpected has gone wrong” Keeps coming up. It’s not only my computer, so i believe there’s more network issues abroad in Second Life than we think.
Get back to us, Lindens. We need this fixed. D:
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
When is ThirdLife coming out, the SL is getting old.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
The only thing that can be said: ROFLMAO
Nah,they’ll fix it quickly as ever xD
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 PM
@38 I agree… more *scheduled* maintenance, less sudden shut-downs. Hell take 2 weeks with the grid down to upgrade for all i care, just give me more than 4 consecutive hours without disruption please.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Hopes LL doesn’t want to go public, oh wait minute if they did then they would have to become honest
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Thank gawd we has folks who can jump in and get this problem all fixed up right away and stuff! What with … lessee a few months back… you said 60% of the programmers were dedicated to fixing bugs. You were kidding us about that weren’t you.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
You guys need to Keep us updated in world with this sht. I mean it’s not like I can just say oh Im gonna relog now cause the servers are down
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Hey guys, remember us? We’re DiSSENTiON. We’re still awake and active.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
thats majorly horrid. To have my dancing interrupted RIGHT when I was in the middle of an important job earning me MONEY D:.>;;;
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
ok twice in one day glad i was not in the middle of another build I think even the free accounts should be compensated some how. im a free account but this inhibits my work for other ppl in SL
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
*sigh*
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
A few hours ago you had it offline now this
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Weeeeeeee, again, again and again. I’m so frustrated, I was all night on a fashion contest now the voting time SL™ is giving his nice shot. WoooT.
Unable to login™ lool.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Get everyones butt back on BART and fix this damn thing… you cant even make 24 hours and quit pointing at everyone else.. Your customers your problem
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
wow..it’s officially weekend now
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Sighs, lag was bad then froze now cant log in, I know you guys work hard to keep it going but it does seems the problems are constant, would be nice to see it stable.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
I work on a massive network in RL so I Feal your pain there LL
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
opps I did it again… ayea, ayea ayea
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
so, the upgrade is going as planned i see…
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
this is crazy… everyday there is something else… sl is just like rl giving way to many headaches… and we pay a monthly fee for this and have people left right and center scaming others on sl that runs a business and we the clients can’t get help from these scamers either!!! Ahhh venting there but sheesh… sl should be better than this with how much monet it rakes in
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Why do I have a feeling there is no monitoring of basic SL process parameters? How often could you detect problems simply by watching the concurrent resident number? How about number of TP failures, transaction timeouts and database errors. Each major problem today has had noticeable precursors.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Well it is friday afterall. No friday is complete without mayor issues!
Meh. I am going to bed.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! seriously? MARK I HOPE YOU CAN IMPROVE THIS..
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
I got some strange blue message that had a question mark and only said Second Life. I think that may have been an attempt to warn us that there were issues but.. the message got lost somewhere.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
it will be a surprise the day that SL works just near normal…
every day a different issue, what is wrong with you?
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
*rolls eyes*
It’s a friendly day in the neighbourhood…can we have a week without something being borked or having “issues”?
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
and inventory too — check your asset servers AGAIN today
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
It’s common now. Amazing will be the day SL works normal, without no issue.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
god you people take this to serioius listen to youselves
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Do we Not matter anymore.. This is beyond funny… Ok we all do have a RL, and this Sl world is how we chose to spend out RL time.. I sure wish I could backcharge for my time spend waiting for a safe grid to use my RL money on…
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
i like to ask the same, why is ll so lame?
you should be able to monitor your systems 7/24 and recognize it early when nobody can’t login.
fix it. now.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
*passes around the drinks until we get back in*
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Is 24 hours without a major screwup really too much to ask? All I ever see in the blog are reports of the same three types of issues… yet all I see released in patches are SHADER updates… sweet!
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Well, seems the crap never fails. And here it seemed that LL Finally had things going well then BOOM, Chit hits the fan and everything falls down lol. Oh well, Least they are on the ball about fixing things.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Well this is what happen to Princess if you are looking for me
(((Smiles)))) Sorry
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
*laughs* everyone at squees disappeared except like 3 of us, then a few minutes later.. i disappeared and was back in real life.. linden labs for the win!
I even said to my partner, hey did it get quiet in here? she said ” yeah” then i got kicked too. too funny. thanks for the laugh ll
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Really do wish that LL would get its act together and solve some of the issues so that we do not have so many log in issues or system crashes. Getting really frustrating to plan training or meetings and the system crashes on you.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
wow, 50,000 online, down to 12,000 thats a little dip, those little inworld issues have caused most of us to go involuntarily outofworld
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
AHAHAHA Lakota
0.o
I’m suprised comments are still on on here still
XD
anyways =/
not a good start XD
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 PM
how sad i was having such a great time with a friend of mine well i hope itworks by tomorrow i got to say sorry to him for leaving like that
April 25th, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Newbish …….. suxs stuff down ……….
_^^_
April 25th, 2008 at 10:01 PM
D: it was at 27,000 something online one moment to 14,000 something the next…
*sighs*
April 25th, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Oh wait I forgot, its not an issue, its a new feature.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Interfering with logins is an understatement.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Well, that’s what I call a good amount of sand in the gearworks.
Almost 30.000 residents crashed in less than 10 minutes?
What’s happening? Somebody set the data-center on fire?
I really hope somebody just accidently pulled a plug or something
April 25th, 2008 at 10:01 PM
I wonder if we will ever have an issue free W/E????????
