Entire sim disappeared from mainland?

This is weird. Has anyone tried following the roads on the old mainland continent? I came to a place where an entire sim showing on the map was simply gone. It isn't red on the map, it just doesn't exist in world for me. I can move my camera into it and look back. The land I'm standing on suddenly quits, but not in the usual way. It's like it's cut off and hollow inside.

I was able to walk entirely around the missing sim. I've never seen this before. It was a real Twilight Zone moment. It has gone missing for several days now at least.

The server it resides on is probably down.

Theres a notice about 1/16th of the population being affected by problems at the moment on the main page.

The name of the sim, or the names of it's neighbors, would make investigating this more straightforward.

that notice says it was fixed before noon. edited... errmmm I just looked at the time again
(and I meant to say just after noon, but by the looks of the time, it is just after midnight LOL)

unless my time is totally off that was a few hours ago

I think someone booboo'd with the time...

[RESOLVED 12:12 am PST] All login and group IM issues have been resolved.

*****

Within the past few minutes, a change to grid configuration has cost approximately 1/16th of our residents the ability to engage in group chats. Logins may also be affected for the same residents.

Operations has pressed a giant red “Undo” button, and this inconvenience should be over very shortly. We’ll keep you posted, and we apologize to those affected.


ok let;s do the math, 11:43am is before noon on tue.

12:12am is either just after midnight going into wed (which is in the future by my clock) or it is 12:12 just after midnight going into tue, which means the issue was resolved before it was discovered LOL

or am I just reading it wrong?

(I think he meant to put 12:12pm for tue afternoon)

ahhh ooops

Still was it Resolved or just "Resolved"?

heh good question and I edited my post, have a peek LOL

Why, yes. I suppose you're right. It is Laka that is lacking. It is located near the northern shoreline of the old continent, east-southeast of the water sims joining Atoll with the old continent. There is a road going through Kaili just to the east that is shown on the map running through the northeast corner of Laka. That's where I found the mysterious cut off. I think it has something to do with Area 51.

Interesting indeed. One can TP into Laka, but its neighbors are missing, or one can be in its neighbors and Laka is missing, notwithstanding the fact that everything looks perfectly normal on the map.

Maybe Laka wannabe an island?

(Sorry. I had even worse puns. Consider yourself spared.)

Here I thought we were discussing Felonhall City again.

*shuffles off disappointed.

When this happens on an estate, the region has rebooted as not attached to the estate, its settings see it as independent of its neighbors. It just needs a reboot by a Linden to restore it to normalcy.

I don't know if its related but I ran across a major river on the mainland that I don't remember being there a month ago. It could just be old age, but the river runs through the Bear sim.

The really cool version of this is when the sim is invisible and un enterable/unexitable on 3 sides. I had my alt inside the sim at the border waving to my main at the border outside who couldn't see the sim.
