Second Life login failure
At 3:50AM SLT (US Pacific) with 31,509 users online something serious went wrong with Second Life's backbone or web-services. Statistical data feeds ceased functioning and the login servers stopped responding to requests entirely.
At present the cause is unknown and there is no word from Linden Lab about the problems.
[Update: 4:05AM SLT - Statistical feeds have started reporting again. Apparently approximately 20,000 users were disconnected.]
[Update: 4:15AM SLT - Linden Lab has acknowledged the problem]
[Update: 4:40AM SLT - Logins are now functioning again]
[Update: 4:50AM SLT - That was very short-lived. Apparently they've gone off again]
[Update: 5:25AM SLT - Service has been restored. Linden Lab has identified the problem as a network failure]
