Second Life grid services problems
At 7:20AM SLT (US Pacific) today the Second Life grid began experiencing difficulties. The usual problems are in evidence: Problems teleporting, unusual difficulties with sim border crossings, account balances not showing, asset uploads failing, attachments failing, object rezzing failing, group IMs unreliable, problems accessing profiles and group information, and slow or failing logins.
At the time the problems commenced a mere 39,105 users were online on the Second Life grid. That number fell by over a thousand, fairly quickly and is still declining slowly.
Linden Lab has not yet issued any acknowledgement of the difficulties.
[Update: 8:20 AM SLT - Linden Lab has finally acknowledged the problems and is working to resolve them]
[Update: 8:52 AM SLT - Linden Lab considers the issue resolved. While concurrency seems to have taken an upturn since then, it's not rising very quickly yet, and there are still reports of problems, though not nearly so many]
