"Due to unusual heavy Logins.. Logins have been disabled"

Well.. how many other people have seen this when they try to log in to Second Life tonight? And .. what is your reaction to this? As a paying customer of second life ( who pays for their account and owns land and pays tier fees) .. quite frankly, I am a bit annoyed that I cannot access it when I want to! Let me hear what you think..

*shrugs*

I remember back when the Grid would be wholly or partially down so often that it was like havin a Windy day up here in Chicago.

Just a BS message in my opinion. Here is what they are saying on the Grid Status site . . .

Edited, added update just posted, sam eBS message when trying to log though

[UPDATE 4:05 PM PDT] We have temporarily disabled logins while this issue is investigated.

Temporary Database Issues
Posted by Status Desk on August 20th, 2008 at 04:00 pm PDT

We are currently experiencing a problem with the database that may result in difficulties logging in, rezzing objects, completing transactions, and searching. We are aware of this issue and our ops team are working to resolve it as swiftly as possible. In the mean time, please avoid making important transactions or rezzing no-copy objects.

I think that I would rather wait to log in when the database is struggling, than to have it finish melting down just so I can have the satisfaction of logging in to see it happen.

"heavy logins"

it says nothing about heavy logins
"higher-than-usual loads"

means as post above said database issues with objects and tps ect

Yes, but when it was down, it was down for everyone. Now, there are tons of alts and bots on the grid keeping the people that pay for the service out. It's like going on a cruise, paying for it, then the captain telling you that you have to stay on the docks because they let in a large group of non-paying people and they are now in your (and everyone else that paid but has not yet checked in) staterooms.

I think there should be a "please type in the letters as you see them on the screen" routine every so often during high volumes or be logged out as a bot. Sort of a human verification, annoying but better than not getting in.

Last month?

I hope all the bots that are always logged onto the grid are enjoying themselves.

"CX"

sounds like the bot over at slex is doing well.

Earlier, I was not able to access my mainland region. I just had 3 transactions time-out in a row. TP's are not functioning normal, the search is extremely slow if it comes up at all.

I wonder if my group notice even went out like it was supposed to.

And thank you Starfire.. that is exactly how I feel too.. ...Very , very annoying , at best... And to everyone else who responded .. I looked at the SL website for a blog entry about grid problems... and didn't see anything.. so thanks for bringing that to my attention... However... It is STILL annoying...

does that mean more lindens and more loaded then they have been in the past?

The volume wasnt that high its been way higher.. they are putting mono on the grid so theres gona be problems

63,541 max av count isnt that high at all

WHERE'S MY WHIP?

Doesn't Linden Labs know what happens when a Master is keep waiting?

*grins*

And to top it off, when I try to log on, I get the little pop-up with;

Second Life Resident Survey:

Is your Second Life experience getting better or worse?
Better
Worse

LOL!

Pitiful, just pitiful

Oh boy!
TP wasn't working.
Nothing on the staus page, so log out tp log in at the sim I wanted to get to.
Bummer. Can't get in for ages.


And now! Dumped into a Korean Welcome centre again, again, again.
Lots of grey people
Me in full heavily-armed panther gear again.

Slave collars are whispering at me.

Hey. There's an ALady bot here too.
Can I shoot her with my bow, and slice here with my spear?? Can I? Can I?

And Beast Linden!!!!

Always there for me Master *Kiss*

WOW great idea!!

They don't post Grid Status on the Blog anymore. There is a Grid Status Page:
http://secondlife.com/status/

They're forcing me to go play WoW.

They've started reporting that kind of info on the status report page, rather than the blog. Easy to miss if you don't know where to look.

http://status.secondlifegrid.net/

I subscribe to the RSS feed from the reader on my homepage to keep up.

*edit - Nevermind. Brenda was faster.

Jesus Christ, Shut the hell up, keep your bedroom shit in the bedroom.

True...my perspective is funny on that given that I WAS payin' Premium & Land back then, & I ain't now. I could care less back then, but hey, my virtual band got a gig tonight, WTF???



STOP.

Well I mean come on...we always had folks islands disappearin, then Copybot came out...always had the random inv loss, even L$1,000,000s in losses per av for I dunno how many people.

But for everybody playin a violin who's been in SL for a few months or more AND USES THE FORUMS???


LOOK:

The downtime just started, we ain't just sign up, we know this is how SL goes...if u put enough of an investment into it ta have a "heart attack" about this after a few minutes...maybe u should quit SL & cut your losses...come back in a year or somethin & hit these forums...see if it's stable.

Damn. You know what stage the platform is in...complainin' is cool, but don't get too worked up cause this is how it's ALWAYS been...this ain't like the first hurricane in Idaho or some crap. Downtime happens, this is SL.

This is why I ain't payin Premium, and neither is my grrl, who sells RL art every day from the Grid.

Rent, cut costs, minimize investments. This tech ain't stable enough to depend on yet.



Leeroy Jenkins.

i was logged out ( On help island helping new residents btw ) and the capacity was 54k ...nowhere near running at full load .

Ok its not happend in a while ... but JHC... LL needs to work this stuff out ... bots and people running multi accounts to make a doller an hour camping ... and paying customers being turned away .....come on people !

"sidebar" hell yeah they need ta' nip the camping bot thing in the bud. Still...never depend on SL. They ain't ready.

Leeeeeeeeroooooooy!

Yep. All mine are happily logged in - thank you. It's nice to know that you are concerened about hem
