[CLOSED] Some Second Life Regions Offline
Friday, April 25th, 2008 at 9:03 AM by: rheyalinden[CLOSED 11:07 a.m. --teeple]
All regions affected have been returned to service. Thanks for your patience!
[UPDATE 10:08 a.m. --teeple]
The vast majority of regions are back online. Operations is still working on a small number of them. We’ll let you know as soon as they’re done.
***
As a result of a recent Rolling Restart, many regions in Second Life are currently down. Our Server Team is working quickly to get them back online as soon as possible. More Updates here as information is received. Thank you for your continued patience.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:09 AM
WOOT WOOT HAPPY FRIDAY!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:12 AM
Again, I am shocked. How unusual.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:12 AM
Given the problems in April, when do I start getting $$ back. I think $675 would due.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:14 AM
:hopes a Linden will actually respond:
What exactly happens in a Rolling Restart?
Do they restart the server software?
Restart the entire server?
Cold restart the server?
April 25th, 2008 at 9:14 AM
…grand stuff…and no need to thank me for my “continuous patience” …I lost it long ago…
April 25th, 2008 at 9:16 AM
Woohoo! So this means that the grid will be up and running beautifully for us this weekend, unlike weekends in the past, right? Right? **looks hopefully into blank space** lol Have a cool Friday and thanks for the info
Keep us posted.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:18 AM
It’s friday afternoon again. The Europeans come online and what do they find? American hightech on strike. Maybe the Lindens should use some russian stuff, less funky but more reliable - lol.
I hope they can solve it soon - and we Europeans can enjoy a nice evening in SL.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:26 AM
hey um.. maybe some of you are too new to SL, but all these problems (asset servers, networking congestion, lag, and general SNAUFs here) have been going on for YEARS! Not in the last few months as everyone seems to think, including the Lindens.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:26 AM
Should be the new SL slogan ” SECOND LIFE thanks for your patience”
April 25th, 2008 at 9:27 AM
I have lost consistantly over the past month due to tech issues 70% of sales - Then I loose 600 dollars per island x 3 of money I paid for islands over night. Today my islands are not even online.
My friends get their stuff copied and stolen to be resold by the sl thiefs and not much can be done to stop it we all know it.
Every day I pull my hair out. Its bad enough we loose so many sales then devalue land we worked hard to raise money to pay for.
Its almost like its being done on purpose to run out people like us

April 25th, 2008 at 9:29 AM
Well, for some positive feedback, I saw our region get the new server upgrade, saw the region go offline for 10 minutes, and came back up all by itself. Everything physical that was broken now works, and in fact, much more smoothly. Great Job Lindens!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:29 AM
@ 10 - don’t forget INVENTORY LOSS too
April 25th, 2008 at 9:29 AM
Complaining won’t make things move any faster. Let them do there job heh
April 25th, 2008 at 9:30 AM
“hugsalot Says:

Just in reference to this, I’d been in SL for quite a while in an old account that I recently closed. My continuous experience has shown that thought it has been going on for years, it’s getting progressively worse. I remember early days when my only issues were gray people running around. Now, I’m lucky if I can run at all (and I’m on new equipment now). It seems the more they try to improve and “upgrade” the worse things get.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:30 AM
@10
Hooray.. I think its time for a true credit and not an offer of openspace land which just raises our long term expenses. That’s not compensation for loss.. its hidden sales
April 25th, 2008 at 9:38 AM
Hey Rheya, tnx for the notice. Doesn’t affect any regions I alight on so …ummm… who cares
We only had to wait … what? less than a week…nah.. it was closer to two weeks,, but still, @ least the durn thing works and it’s only in Release _Candidate_ status :-))
Besides, even RC4 works on my laptop DESPITE all the vigorous complaints that laptops have been left behind. Well Done! to that group of code monkeys
Jesting aside, I’m sure it IS of import to those handful of regions that got booted offline for this restart. However, I have seen a much improved stability during the time right after the Havok4 forced updates [aka March 2008]. I hope, kneeling and bowing toward the NW seacoast, this current set of updates brings yet more stability and continuity to our _virtual_ existence. Cuz when LL™ does go IPO I wouldn’t mind having finished updating Pay Status from Pay Info Used to… something more substantial
Thanx for the ride Philip and Co. hope it lasts past the snows blowing in the wind.

April 25th, 2008 at 9:38 AM
I never, ever complain but really this past month has been over the top, I don’t understand what technical things the Lindens always have to deal with nor do I care to. What I do know is every single time we have a new viewer, or you change something….everything goes whacky. How about you can’t Tp anywhere right now? It would be nice if you would announce in world when these things are happening so we aren’t attempting to reboot, clear caches..and so forth. Some common courtesy would go a long way …especially since it is night time in Europe.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:39 AM
Hey all — it was about 700 regions that were down– that’s only about 4% of the grid, but of course it’s bad if your region happens to be one of the 700. Most of them are back now, and we’re working as fast as we can to get the other ones back.
Things were complicated by the fact that a completely separate problem hit us with our logging. So, while we had recovered most of the regions, we’re slowed down diagnosing which regions are still down due to the logging issues. Those will be resolved in a few minutes, and then we’ll be able to verify that the downed regions have all been brought back up.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:39 AM
General failure of animation, spontaneous corruption of certain image files and the inability to upload replacements (sculpt texture). Congrats - you have found new ways to break SL. My income for the month is less than half of what it normally is, but somehow I don’t expect the part where you take my money every month to fail.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:39 AM
There is this fat chick that wanted me to meet her in SL today and I really didn’t want to. Thanks LL
April 25th, 2008 at 9:45 AM
I told some guy I just met I was a fat chick and I wanted him to meet me in SL today…I really didn’t want to….Thanks LL-GREAT JOB-you got me off the hook for meeting up with a LOSER!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:45 AM
Another day in Paradise! And why aren’t these regions doing the normal rolling restart bit? What’s been messed up?
April 25th, 2008 at 9:48 AM
Just to offer something positive to the mix….
Just been trying the Tako sailboat on some 1.21 void sims with the latest release candidate viewer - crossing regions is the best I’ve ever known - just a split-second blip :)))
April 25th, 2008 at 9:51 AM
“hey um.. maybe some of you are too new to SL, but all these problems (asset servers, networking congestion, lag, and general SNAUFs here) have been going on for YEARS! Not in the last few months as everyone seems to think, including the Lindens.”
So, the fact that continued negligence on behalf of Linden Labs makes it ok? Not in my book. And I will say this, in the past month or so, these problems have been occurring excessively!! If this were a game I purchased off the shelf, (not even taking into consideration the businesses that 80% of us run), I would have returned it in 30 seconds due to all the issues, for a FULL REFUND. I think the VERY least that LL could do at this point is REFUND land owners 1 months TIER.
Shape up LL, please? Enough “software patches” and “updates”.. GET NEW MORE POWERFUL SERVERS - DUH
April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 AM
Is it just my imagination but are comments being kept open on most LL posts these days. Do I detect the work of Katt Linden?
It’s good work if it is Katt’s idea. Ultimately it should serve to put down the continuous nay saying and keep everybody on topic.
Good luck rheya and team.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:54 AM
Traverse @23 : we don’t yet know what happened with the rolling restart. EVerything went fine, but the simulator processes didn’t start. We were able quickly to work around it, and have done so, so everything should be happy now. We’re still diagnosing to try and figure out what went wrong in the first place. It was only a couple of hundred hosts (out of a couple thousand) at the end of the rolling restart that had the problem; everything before that was fine.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 AM
@10 “My friends get their stuff copied and stolen to be resold by the sl thiefs and not much can be done to stop it we all know it.”
more things CAN be done but are not done…
like blocking the UUIDS of stolen textures and blocking objects. look up the JIRAs, a lot of residents are complaining but the linden are ignoring it.. as usual.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Any news about the not loaded inventory?
Maybe all experiencing this should raid Orientation Island naked…
Please do not come now with clearing cache and that … all possible solution from users side are done before I complain open.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:59 AM
@26 as long as our questions are ignored it won’t help much. it’s just an illusion.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 AM
It’s surely frustrating for those whose regions went down but I don’t think most who complain have been affected by this.
April was surely a rough month for all of us (residents and Linden staff), but I see with joy that there is a new style of communication between LL and us residents: more honesty and open communication than ever.
I think it’s time to value this new open communication and be more constructive than just always complain. LL is aware of the problems and I see hard work going on to solve those problems.
Let’s become more constructive again …
Cobra
April 25th, 2008 at 10:01 AM
Will this fix the region handoff failures I keep getting? There’s a sim I can’t walk or TP to, tho I did file a ticket.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:02 AM
so um is it logging too?
cause everytime i try and log in it either fails or it’ll work and then crash immidiately :[
April 25th, 2008 at 10:03 AM
@31 so far the lindens are still not answering our questions about texture theft. I have not seen any open communications about that topic yet.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:05 AM
…if anyone knows the answer ^^ they could just fill me in, not just a linden xD
April 25th, 2008 at 10:10 AM
@34: Beside that this topic does not belong into this thread:
we shoudl blame ourselves for this massive sale of stolen goods.
The problem with textures is that they have to be downloaded/decoded to your local computer in order to be displayed - there is not much you can do to protect them. And as long as we tolerate the sale of stolen items (often called “business in a box”
The are IP Rights / DCMA which protect your creations (you will find a lot of info on that on the SL webpages and also in the internet and how to go against those peopel stealing your creations). It is not up to LL to protect your IP Rights - it is up to us …
April 25th, 2008 at 10:19 AM
Crosses fingers for an uneventful weekend. I wish all small businesses much luck and prosperity over the weekend.

April 25th, 2008 at 10:19 AM
Severe Lag.
No rensponses from support for over 10 days.
Absolutly useless bug reporting system.
Rotating objects still not rotating.
Please sort these out NOW.
Forget tarting up SL with these flashy clouds and reflections till you can get it all running stable.
Some of us pay you a lot of money to use secondlife, lots of us feel we are not getting what we pay for.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:19 AM
@36 when textures would be deleted every time they were spreading business in a box would not have thousands of copies of the same single stolen item for sale. Most business in a box thief items just share one texture. If your item spreads full permission (as has happend to a lot of stolen items) you have to sue 10.000s of people reselling them as business in a box to get them removed. That is impossible and lindenlabs knows it.
Webhosts remove the original violating picture when a DMCA is filled in. Linden Labs wjust removes the shop they do not even delete the texture from the thieves inventory, let alone from the asset server. They can block stolen item, like they do with griefer objects, but they don’t. After two year of empty promises we still don’t know why.
Linden labs is the host.. unless your a hacker which cracks their sever as a creator unforntunaly theres nothing you can do do stop them from hosting your violated copyrighted material. Serevarl content creators have filled in DMCAs to get the textures removed - they are ignored by linden labs.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:22 AM
Hi folks. To understand what’s going on with Service Disruptions, you can find them explained here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Service_Disruptions
April 25th, 2008 at 10:23 AM
I’m glad the blog is open for comments. Keep it like that please!
I think that a delayed re-start of some regions is not too bad.
Some people like to have a compensation for bad service in the last time. I understand that. The only compensation of LL I ever heard of was to extent running advertises by some time because the search was down.
I wonder how a compensation of land tier would look like: would you honestly forward it to the people who leased flats and shops etc on your sim?
BTW, I know Patience, she’s a very nice girl.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:23 AM
….is anyone else having trouble getting ON to secondlife?
April 25th, 2008 at 10:27 AM
umm search is broken?
Problems accessing search on gsa5 (status 500)
Please try your query later.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:30 AM
And thanks for the positive words Cat and BlkCobra. We do care, very much.
Judi, Stick: if you filed a support ticket, you will hear back.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:32 AM
…..
so no one else is having issues getting on to secondlife….
April 25th, 2008 at 10:33 AM
@40 Katt
Do you know why stolen items aren’t blocked? i understand you like positive feedback more, but the content creators who have been ripped off would appreciate and deserve an answer too. I don’t understand why this isn’t done. Shops like naughty designs and X2 are copyright violated in about every freebie/resell mall why is nothing done?
April 25th, 2008 at 10:35 AM
stop whining folks…..takes time and effort to experiment. Where would Heineken be without the guy that burnt his mouth on the glassblazer?
April 25th, 2008 at 10:38 AM
um katt we all know that the asset server and databases are BROKEN we dont need a wiki to understand it we need lindens TO ACTUALLY FIX IT so we can get back to fixing our failed businesses and make money to pay our tiers!
April 25th, 2008 at 10:38 AM
You experiment in a development and test environments not the production environment you are charging for.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:39 AM
@47 LMAO! I haven’t heard that reference before, but it’s a great one for a Friday. You got me thinking about Happy Hour already.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:45 AM
@15: the troubles in the last month or so rival the troubles in late 2006 — but while troubles come with the territory, I’d say there have been a great many times of relatively painless Second Life between now and then.
For that matter, this last week, I’d way, was better than the last couple weeks before it.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:47 AM
I don’t understand it
I login I crash immidiately after doing so what is this?
April 25th, 2008 at 10:51 AM
Yay, LL fails again!
April 25th, 2008 at 10:51 AM
I think there needs to be a sim owners blog and a merchants blog to sort the fodder out.
A lot of the “happiness world is great” crew don’t seem to be financially involved.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:54 AM
Like most business owners I have lost sales in April, like most business owners I have lost valuable time due to angry customers, like pretty much everyone else I have lost inventory in April (more than usually), like pretty much everyone else I have experienced a lot of other frustrating technical issues in April.
Yes, that’s bad - but - what’s even worse - I have lost my fascination for this virtual world in April, it has just poofed…
Only 2 months ago I had plans of purchasing an island, expanding my business and so on, but the recent issues showed me one thing (once again) - this whole thing is far too unreliable to invest that kind of money since there never ever is some kind of compensatioin when things go so wrong.
One thing this company has yet to learn - sometimes it goes a long way to do something for compensation, even if it’s just a little - to actually show your customers that you care. Apologies won’t do the trick here.
I really don’t expect this operation to run smoothly 24/7 and I’m sure there are a lot of hard working people at it, but April was just too much for people to endure, without the slightest kind of compensation (e.g. free classifieds, higher stipend, reduction of tier, whatever…).
The saddest thing however is that I have lost friends to this, friends that just had about enough and finally left SL.
Yep, I’m totally disillusioned right now…
April 25th, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Katt - @40 & 44
whoa that was way intelligent - file a support ticket you’ll hear back (in say like 6 months.)
I see you have fit right in on your new job….
jeeeeez

We know this cannot be fixed easily, but I would apprectaite an answer as well. I’m very disappoined in the way Linden Labs handles DMCAs

100% agree, LL should response with a refund.

There were a lot of issues and suggestions to what you are experiencing in the blog post:
New Release Candidate Viewer: 1.20 RC4 Available
April 25th, 2008 at 11:28 AM
.. is curious to see what katt will respond..
April 25th, 2008 at 11:32 AM
My rez day was Thursday. It was fantastic to see lots of my friends there, but there were many more that could not log on. And it was way too laggy to dance, even at a Class 5 sim which I own, and reports 45 fps and good stats.
Lots of them never even could log in to get the invitations. Is it my imagination or did we get two updates this week to the RC viewer? Log crash. Log Crash.Log….woot finally..an hour later…out of memory error, shut down. Anti virus keeps reporting a “destructive virus” in one of the textures being saved to cache. There is no way to find out what causes the memory problem, but a JIRA has been filed, No response from the tracking I set. I even notice at the giant snail races shown on SL TV they kept crashing from memory problems, so it’s not my system. The OnRez viewer doesn’t have the memory problem, but It’s not good to use unless you are new. But I can fly. If all you want to do is fly and have sex on pose balls I guess it is all working fine. I’m trying to open a cafe, and really would like to be able to TP around and get things done.
Anyone know a way to use one of the old viewers that worked before all the fixes? like a 1.17 or 1.18??? Great graphics are wonderful, in fact I got an Nvidea 8800Gt so I could handle them, but having to turn them down all the time to help the lag has made that a wasted dream. Tell me its all going to be OK and the rest of my friends will not leave for WoW where there is no lag???
April 25th, 2008 at 11:34 AM
I am still unable to scroll down in my lists in the “All” search, which means when I search something, I only get to check out the first few matches. People pay to have their shops and stuff listed in the search. This is not a problem with my computer as I have no difficulty scrolling anywhere else. Any ideas?
April 25th, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Katt will respond that it is “your” computer that lost your inventory and bonked the asset server. Ticket is now resolved.
More PR from the new PR Linden…..
Region and business owners want a refund Katt - let’s discuss that, what do you say?
April 25th, 2008 at 11:41 AM
@68: I can has refund nowz?
April 25th, 2008 at 11:46 AM
i am afraid they will not respond to that Renee.
Sooner or later there are other player and i am sure with competition everything will change. And LL has to think about the TOS and offer a fair SLA to every customer.
Never forget this is a game and LL make $ with it.
Or is there still somebody out there who think King Phil did it coz he have had a dream of a worldwide community?
April 25th, 2008 at 11:48 AM
LOL they have so many service disruptions they actually have a lengthy WIKI page on the subject. LOL
April 25th, 2008 at 11:56 AM
@ Katt
> Stick: if you filed a support ticket, you will hear back.
are you kidding?
Why don’t you open a alt account use your pirvate ISP at home and then file a support ticket and start counting the weeks until you get a response.
April 25th, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Animations not loading for all and acting weird for others, items wont deliver says “declined your inventory offer” so I kept trying to resend…keeps declining… then 5 minutes later gives the person all 12 copies of this item that they paid for only 1 item!
Anyone else run into this dont keep trying to send, the item is not really being declined the server is holding it somehow and delivering later. Grrr
April 25th, 2008 at 12:09 PM
the least Linden Labs could do for business owners is to refund our classified ads for the month of April…… they have been useless as search has been down half the day each and every day for the past 6 weeks now ……they have refunded classifieds or extended them when these issues have happened in the past ……why are they not doing it for us now?? it is the least they could do to help all of our losses due to these daily issues
April 25th, 2008 at 12:14 PM
I believe that was discussed here zillions times, but I do not understand why LL does not close accounts that has no activity for X months. LL has whatever millions of users; sure, some hundreds came, and never come back. Why to have all inactive ppl database assets , etc, for whatever time, if the account has no activity for certain period of time. But, anyway, no Linden will read this, and we need to continue paying tier, etc, for a quality service that is below average, to be nice.
April 25th, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Who is the top tech person? Is it Joe Miller?
Is there a new CTO yet?
Why does the top tech person not communicate on this blog?
Doesn’t a VP/CTO level position demand a smattering of PR
and communication skills? What tech event is it going to take
for them to finally drop in and write something reassuring?
I dont know… one would think it is in LL’s interest for the executive
staff to be proactive here. The residents should not be in the position
of having to ask for reassurance.
April 25th, 2008 at 12:18 PM
wonder if this auto return bug only affects kali isle. stuff set to group properly gets auto returned on some random basis. good one. now we can’t even waste time building anything in a sim. sweet. or is it that someone at ll wants all auto returns disabled to support griefing?

Just a heads up to the folks at linden labs. every object attachment in my inventory is coming up as “unable to creat requested object, please try again”
this includes like i said, everything object based atttchment wise.
I’ve tp’d do a dozen or more sims grid wide, cleared cache and relogged to home point, removed all the xml etc files and still getting this error.
kinda sucks when you have over 10000 objects in your inventory and they’re all object based (i have several hundred avatars :D)

April 25th, 2008 at 1:00 PM
not AGAIN.. no transactions.. damned whats up with this game..
April 25th, 2008 at 1:00 PM
I really dont care about the loading issues or things as I am not doing anything right now that has to deal with them. I was hunting around for a nice private spot to spend with my fiance and bam crashed because of a region and now cant log back in. um suggestion. turn things off but not logins.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:01 PM
OH NO! Be able to install the item of my Iventory or it cannot access LM which now presently is in the baggage. Information it seems that income is not done from the data base! ! To the place where it searches TP possibility. This probably is what thing?
April 25th, 2008 at 1:01 PM
ROTFLMAO !!!!
me thinks one of the Lindens better go in world try and run around a bit and see………..
I like posting here always seems to work when ever they allow it……… unlike trying to save a note or script, hmm, or tp’ing, or building, or transactions, or much of anything in world most of the time anymore!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:01 PM
WTF? Just now in-world I got a popup message warning about not doing any transactions at 1pm PDT. So WTF is going on?
April 25th, 2008 at 1:01 PM
ROFL WOW people r amazing I look at this and laugh goes back to the little thing we once all knew as real life
April 25th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
95@ um to alot of us it’s more then a game. I dont consider this a game and never will. Game to me is racing around a track or shooting people. and those 2 things I dont do so.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
ok this is beyond a joke i relog now logins closed NICE ONE!!!!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
Yeah, says on the Front Page to look and no info, as per, not even Friday evening PDT yet lol. Looks like another fine mess of a weekend…
Oh, if any Linden is interested, one of the Alts behind the DiSSENTi0N pathetic griefing attempts, Gannondorf Rothberg, is trademark violating the hand logo at http://youtube.com/DiSSENTi0N

@100 and the several comments before : this is an issue unrelated to the “regions down” issue of this post. The regions down issue was solved several hours ago. However, in the last 10 minutes or so, the asset servers began experiencing problems. We’re working on them, and those problems are described in their own blog post.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
that really SUCKS!!!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
We are claiming full responsibility to the attacks which resulted in this disruption.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
You cannot be serious!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
LOl you cant live in and breath In SL hopefully you dont sleep with your PC. Ya so we make money in here we still have to realize its not a real life and all things do fail
April 25th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
Ah Ah Losers ! ! !
Pfff
April 25th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
@88
LL just follow the rule never change or update anything on fridays
@LL

when will you refund us?
April 25th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
WHY does this happen every weekend!!!!!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
A few things are broke:
Can’t save note cards, people can’t change clothes, rez problems, ruthed AVs, transactions glitched
About 12 hours ago it was crash on boarder crossings, TP and map not showing sims.
Hope the best (^_^)
April 25th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
this is just getting so stupid linden labs you post a message in world to check the blog and then there is NOTHING ON THE BLOG! we fight and fight to get you to post a message finally in the game to warn us and then u cant even post what he hell it is on the blog …………i just do NOT UNDERSTAND why you people have not been fired yet….. total incompetence
April 25th, 2008 at 1:04 PM
hiya. You should turn off the billing meter at the same time you turn off transactions.
I know you are propping this POS game up for a sale and can’t afford to have a month at a loss, but you also can’t afford to have us all walk out on this mess.
Anyone who is confused as to why SL sucks just needs to read the linden tao…all will be clear.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:04 PM
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the grid is down AGAIN. Well at least this time the sent an inworld message…
April 25th, 2008 at 1:04 PM

April 25th, 2008 at 1:06 PM
““All regions affected have been returned to service. Thanks for your patience!”
OUR PATIENCE IS OVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
patience….. where??? i have none left…”
YEAH !!! OUR PATIENCE IS OVVVERRRRR ! ! ! !
April 25th, 2008 at 1:06 PM
perhaps you should rethink that “ALL CLEAR POST” i mean you post this two hours ago and wow the entire grid is down. lets see. you said everything is fixed. all regions are back online. and then out of nowhere its “OH S%$#” and pull the plug on the entire system. YAY LL. keep up the not so great work why dont ya.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:06 PM
April 25, 2008, 12:57 pm We are experiencing asset server problems. We have closed off logins to Second Life while we deal with the problem. Please see the blog at http://blog.secondlife.com for more information.
Huh? I cant find about that in the blog actually. Please LL inform the user, before they try to relog and cant login anymore.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:06 PM
@114 not every weekend, It’s EVERY SINGLE DAY.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:06 PM
Yay. Textures failing. Group Chat Failing. Teleports Failing. Now I get the “please refrain from transactions” message. Why not be up front and say “Too bad for your business, but keep forking your cash over to us.”? I opened a new store, and now I have another lump of land I have to pour cash into with little returns.
Seriously, if LL is unable to provide an infrastructure to support concurrency, then why keep sucking money out of people?
Oh, as I type this add, inventory failure. Asset server fails. But please keep charging people for a service that doesn’t work.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:07 PM
125@ thats why I joined too because of cnn a yr ago. I have no isses with these problems. I just have tiny bit of issue with turning the logins off. and to the user above about the bot accounts. have you got statics to back this up? or is this something you heard?
April 25th, 2008 at 1:08 PM
OMG!!!!!!!!!! every friday its the same sad old getting really annoying song………….. can’t log in second life is currently dowm for maintenance………..and this ASSet problem again
April 25, 2008, 12:57 pm We are experiencing asset server problems. We have closed off logins to Second Life while we deal with the problem.
