Ok... I get that... but how many minutes is a few minutes because this has been going on for SEVERAL minutes now... atleast 10, I've waited an addition 5 minutes since starting this post and this is getting ridiculous.

What's the deal? ><

Same thing is happening to me, i logged in fine first time...tried to change my clothes, they wouldnt...so i logged out, logged back in invisible -_-

So i logged out again, and now i cant get back in, always getting that same message for about 15-20 minutes now.

Well, now log in is closed for maintenance... that's good, yet bad... I just set up a money orb to blow out lindens and its 3:26 am... I've gotta get to bed and Im not staying up to see how long this is going to take so I can shut it off when the game goes live again.

Argh!

lol cheers for the headsup - looks like i wont be changing for a bit lolol - emergency at the linden lab - someone spilled coffee on the server - again!!!

Same here. Been 20 mins and nothing. Hope the group I was with is not standing there thinking Im actually still connected!! Please Lindens =) Save the day!

only 4 lindens on at the moment - nicole seems like shes working her ass off to see whats up - meanwhile im dancing away in my house to scared to leave in case i crash oh noooooes

2 Posts in announcements since I first came over to the forums, cant say they arent on the ball when it comes to issues, but its still frustrating when you get caught in a bad situation unexpectedly and cant do anything to fix it, or have any idea how long its going to be before the fix kicks in

Grid is going down in 4 minutes - just announced - must be serious - indefinatly lol - oh well good job i have college see yas

Question:
When I log into Second Life, the program returns an error saying You are already logging out, or logging in. Is something wrong?

Answer:
The Second Life 1.9 update made major infrastructure changes to how your login session is maintained on our servers. Occasionally, the server that handled your last login session may take a few minutes to recognize that you have logged out.

Please wait a minimum of fifteen (15) minutes before attempting to log in again. Repeatedly attempting to log in when you receive this message may result in the process taking longer, preventing you from logging in at all.


The above is from the SL Wiki on Tech Support.

Apparently this was an added bug for version 1.9 and they knew it was going to happen.
If enough people complain, maybe they will fix it (likely breaking something else in the process).

Picture this... You are hosting a game and you crash, 15 minutes later you might get back in. Given that scenario, how long do you think it will take people to not play games at your place because of this?

I have been playing this game for 6+ months and have yet to see LL actually fix anything. They seem to shift the issue from area to area and worse they do it on our time. Instead of working on this stuff late night (where it is convenient for probably the larger group of players) they work on it when it is convenient for them.

All this down time and no mention of pro-rating account costs to offset the non playable time. As of this post the grid was down again and restricted to Just Lindens.

got to love the "oh noes i cant play secondlife" posts - heres a suggestion - let the lindens sort what they are sorting, if you dont like it - take up a pasttime such as knitwork or sewing, make yourself a nice cup of tea and relax...
SL is a constantly evolving piece of software thats always going to run into bugs and issues like this, and bugs like this will always pop up - yes its inconvenient but depending on how long this goes on for - its just a break.

well i tell you its better to be down then lag in a sex club

Ardentua - Agreed!

I'm sure they're doing everything they can to sort it out. I'm gonna take this oppertunity to go have a nice long shower. Havent showered since I joined SL!!!

(And yeah, I'm just kidding on the shower-thing.)

really though i think people forget its an alternate reality, just remember to look after your first life as well - so you can enjoy your second life

LOL you mean your secondlife is not your first life I would have neverknew

First, I've been here for about two months and I've seen them fix plenty. But let's just look at what they tuned up in the last upgrade. No more vehicles spiraling to their doom when crossing sims and nigh instant teleporting between sims in particular. Both however would be an interaction with the asset servers, and I imagine that the current downtime is related. But still, those two features solve quite a few problems with slow loading inventories between teleports and trans-sim vehicle operations.

Second, for them this grid crash _IS_ late at night. It's currently 2AM for them! That's hardly convenient for them, especially considering most of their team is sleeping still. Like it or not LL is run like game company not a nationally regulated public service, employees do not work shifts and are not on call 24/7. Most of them work a standard work week while a skeleton crew likely, nay, obviously works during the night. Would you rather they did updates during the middle of their night with the night crew who probably had no direct interaction with the code involved, or would you prefer the day crew who do most of the coding?

Well from the sounds of it, its a major error server side, so the best of luck to the LL team on fixing it...

Thankfully things are better now. Whenever something like this happens, please stay tuned to the Announcements!

Is anyone still getting this? Please say so, and state the details, including the region you logged out of.
