[UPDATE 11:59 AM] Our Operations department is still working on this issue, which has also been reported to have spread to other areas of Second Life’s in-world experience. There have been reports of Linden dollar balances not showing, the map not loading fully as it should, and teleports failing. We’ll have it back up and running like normal as soon as possible. Thanks.

[UPDATE 11:51 PM] It turns out fixing search is going to take more than initially thought, it will probably be down for most of the night. We apologize for the inconvenience and will have a team of crack Operations people patching it up in the morning.

We’ve received reports tonight of search not working properly. It is currently being looked into by our Operations department and should be back up as soon as possible. Thanks for your understanding during this maintenance.

They sent a grid monkey out to get more duct-tape to patch things up, but it got side-tracked when it passed by a banana truck.

Does a banana truck ring, like a banana phone?

No search (= no business) - no stipends paid this week - no new updated info on repairing this - so much for the 'Open Letter Project' !

The big mystery is...How can Lindens present such a rich experience...Yet be so so totally incompetent...They won't listen but perhaps the pace of change could slow down a little....

This week everything that people pay for is broken...But As long as you don't need to find anything, or buy anything...It's still cool

Please Slow down on improvements...please...please....

I normally have quite a healthy customer base in both my shops untill this week....

Since the search is down I have sold nothing.... nada not a bean, strangely enough though I have noticed my weekly classified have been taken by LL.

This with thge fact that some people have lovst thousands of lindens worth of items just makes for a poor experience...
I know I have sung LL;s praises in the past but this is terrible, they say YOUR money is real ... untill it becomes THIER money .. then it suddenly becomes "non-money", the items you have PAID for .. in SL are in your inventory and have value seeing you have paid for them, but to the lindens they loose them and say ... errrmmmm oh well wasnt really there.

What if tommorow I turn around to LL and say ...errrmmmm i have paid you ...what do you mean you have lost THAT as well *lol*

No wonder the TOS is deemed unfair.

pffft

Is the only thing you do is search? Think of it as it is snowing and you can't get out. Read a book (use the map to go places), talk to friends (IM)........The world is not down just a function.

Well, let's see, Can't TP anywhere. Have no money, even if I could TP. Map doesn't work either. IM friends. That would be great, but according to the list I have no friends in-world.

Except that's on the Linden-acknowledged list of things which aren't working properly.

At least you HAVE friends lol. But seriously, with no customers in my shop buying something and asking questions I finally can get some work done. :)

It's time to send a message...If everybody puts everything up for sale...The economy will fall apart...

If everybody just leaves then the Linden's will get what they deserve....a bunch of No Payment On File losers...

I feel like a total fool for giving these guys money every month...

This is hopeless...

Or Are that simply trying to screw over everybody that has been sustaining them....We'll never know...CAUSE THEY DON"T CARE...

Like normal? This IS "like normal."

For god's sake stop wrecking things and fix it instead. Every maintenance results in 48 hours of unavailability... minus a couple of minutes in between....

Actually, there is a way to "take money off the table." Premium residents with unused tier can absorb the land of other Premium residents and thus allow them to move down a tier level and "take money off the table." Though the developers and customer "support" people within the "house of engineers" that is Linden Lab would never notice, if enough of us band together in this fashion we can collectively move enough money off the table (decrease revenues) for Zee Linden (LL's CFO) to notice. Everytime someone downgrades their account or reduces their tier level in this fashion they should drop an IM on Zee explaining why their account is no longer as lucrative as it was.

Along with LL refusing to update my USA master Card and Visa for the past week. re setting the password over again 2 times now in 3 days.

I want my classified $ returned I also want my tier prorated. can I play yeah last night on the system below, slowest rez ever, my land Stream broken for some people, what a waste of time. now do I log in and see if I can run an event. I guess another fun day in SL.

My main account has done just this: tier is now at $0 and will remain there until things get fixed. In other words, indefinitely.

Good for you. I suggest you make an open pledge that you refuse to upgrade your account for an entire year at a minimum. In fact, I think we all need to step back and consider that based on the current problems we should be doing all sorts of things that won't have an impact on other residents but which will have an impact on LL's bottom line.
