For the latest, please see Karen's new post following this one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Second Life will be down for maintenance on Tuesday, 12/6, from 4AM Pacific through noon Pacific.
During this time we will be updating the software to address new performance improvements. In addition, we will be making some significant hardware changes. During the first phase we will be installing new power distribution units, necessitating a complete shutdown of all servers, including those that support the website, for about 30 minutes.
Subsequently, we'll be re-racking the Isilon servers. During this second phase the forums and currency exchange will be accessible, but the balance of the website (including the creation of new accounts) will be inaccessible. Second Life will continue to be inaccessible during this phase.
Thanks for your patience while we make these improvements!
