Updates ...
From: Philip Linden

Load Problems with SL
Hi,

We are still having problems with heavy login load on Second Life, as of 2:30PM PST on 12/31. The grid is currently open, but logins are very slow. We are working on some quick fixes that we are testing right now, and additionally are getting new hardware ready to replace the equipment that is still running slow. I don't have an ETA for repairs. We may get some speedups in the next couple hours, otherwise there will likely be grid downtime tommorow (1/1) as we change hardware.

We're here at the office - doing all we can. Apologies for the problems.

Unsolicited advice...
12-31-2004 15:24
Do you accept unsolicited advice from people who have experienced similar issues on large network systems in the past and just had to "Make it work NOW or else!"? I admit, I only have the information that I am able to dig up from the internet and userland side of things, but I can extrapolate.

Thank you, Linden Laborers. We wouldn't get so crabby if Second Life were not such a damned fine place to be.

Heck of a way for you to have to spend a holiday. I think we all appreciate what you're doing to try to fix the problems. (Even if we do cry a lot). :)

I had to work in network operations on New Years Y2K. That kind of wasn't very much fun. Well, until about 30 gallons of liquor and a DVD player with several movies showed up in the green room. :)

Just an idea from leftfield, but is the preview grid a totally different grid, including its own asset server?

Maby yall could make a temp world for us to log into while you hack away at the gnomes on the main one.

Sorry Everyone! Working as fast as we can.

Good point about the preview grid. I'll check on that. It seems like having an alternate but non-permanent grid available whenever we can is a cool idea.
