Network connectivity is restored. We’ve opened the doors for everyone to log in.

Summary of outage: At approximately 7:00pm PST, a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) Module responsible for parts of our network connectivity at one of our colocation facilities failed, causing a number of regions in Second Life to drop off the network and log out anyone connected to them. We switched the Grid over to “Linden logins only” while our colocation facility worked to replace the hardware. The component was replaced, network connectivity was restored, and we opened the Grid again to everyone at 8:23pm PST. A few of the affected regions are still down, and we are currently working to get them back online.

Please see our blog for more updates. Thank you.
