i get this message:

Login failed.
The system is logging you out right now. Your Account will not be available until 2009-08-30 11:34:30 Pacific Time.

I wait until a couple minutes after the time it says, then I get the same error message with a later time. Its usually five minutes later.

This just started happening today. I tried rebooting. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hmm- the usual clear cache thing perhaps? If that doesnt do it- try reinstalling SL- have you tried logging in with an alt?

This happens to me every time I crash, but I just ignore the time and keep trying and usually get back inworld within 5 min max.

However, that said, SL is a bit wonky today. Also, you could have a ghost in a half crashed state.

Today there have been serious issues in SL, which will have contributed to the problem.

And just cuz the Grid Status page says an issue is RESOLVED does not mean it really is -- LL has a different definition of that word that most of us do.
:rolleyes:

Too true. They did give us a hint this time though.

All in-world activities should be functioning normally.

Now think about how SL normally functions. That's what we're back to. Yay.

As Lil said, it sounds as though your avatar may be "ghosted" - caught in a halfway state between logged in and logged out. If you have an alt or a friend you can communicate with offline, some tricks to release a ghosted avatar include paying the avatar L$1, sending the avatar an IM or two, pushing the avatar over a sim boundary or ejecting the avatar from the parcel it's on.

If after a couple of hours you still can't access your avatar, you may have to go to the support page of the web page and file a ticket (even basic/guest accounts can for certain issues) to get LL to restart the sim you are stuck on.

I came across this recently in the wiki, while looking for something else. Don't know if it'll be any help, but maybe worth a try: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Stuck_logging_in

Did you get logged in yet?
I went for a scout round the grid yesterday, found loads of ghosted avatars, but not yours.
If you still can't log in, have you contacted Support?
If no success yet, give us a clue as to a SIM or a place you might have last visited. I can go and search round there (its fun for me - I am a geek!!!)

Unfortunately not as lucrative as escorting... but what can I do, I have an aversion to poseballs !! ;-P
