Second Life grid to be shut down for maintenance

Next Tuesday, 11 December, Linden Lab is shutting Second Life down for database upgrades, and to add extra capacity to asset systems. No new code is being deployed during the downtime.

The maintenance window is four hours from 7AM SLT (US Pacific time) to 11AM SLT - so if you had plans and events during that time period, now is the time to start rearranging your calendar.

Traditionally downtime of this nature is done on a Wednesday, and Second Life users are normally leery of scheduling events on a Wednesday morning, so the change to a Tuesday is a touch unexpected.

Maintenance downtimes like this often run overtime - that's worth bearing in mind.
