Well it’s evening and once again the Second Life asset servers are not a happy bunch. It wasn’t hard to notice in world before the grid wide announcement not to do anything with your inventory. From the live statistics graph I’m running I can already see that already 10,000 people have logged off or crashed off from the service (and counting). I wonder how many will disconnect or be disconnected before it’s fixed.
[Update 23:10] The drop is now nearer 20,000 people as logins are now disabled.
[Update 00:15] The daily graph has been updated and compares yesterdays (Fridays) online users with previous days.
[Update 00:25] The blog is reporting that SL is alive and well and accepting logins. I hope you can all log back in!
Is it just me or is this getting boring now? Every day at least once or twice im getting stale payments, or dataserver errors, when are they going to realise this is an ongoing problem!!! argh rant over… for now 😛
Well…when are there NOT a problem ongoing ??
Asset issues, location isues…whatever…
Ohh Im So Boredd LOL xD Cann ii Ask Why ii Keep Getting Logged Outt,, ii Aiint iiN A Mood Or Anythiin Im Just Wondering 😀 X
I certainly hope you guys get this fixed, there have been too many problems w/ second life. and it seems the asset server was just fine a minute ago. I am very displeased. Get it fixed once and for all please!
And I have to earn money grrrrrrrrrrrr
Even when the asset servers are NOT having “problems”, they are having problems.. For the last several weeks, a LOT of my inventory is now missing.. Several items that cost over 1000L, and all I have left for them is empty folders in my inventory.. And magically, a couple of items that were missing are now back… Wonder what the damage will be once the gridmonkeys get everything paper-clipped and bailing-wired back together THIS time?????
A Cranky Tas…
yes i crashed loads of times and now cant access sl at all!! im gutted as im having withdrawal sywmptoms lol
I am sure our friends in the Linden lab are doing the very best they can to recover these situations, but they are extremely disruptive.
Perhaps, as self punishing gesture, there should be a payment to each non-free account member of the lost amount of time.
This wouldn’t be worth very much to us, just a handful of Lindens, but cumulatively it would hurt them to a degree that methods would be found to stop such outages more quickly.
As it is, it is us, the paying residents who lose money and our time because of outages.
I have written this to utilise my downtime!
Now down to 36000 users
As long as I’ve been in SL there are these problems. Peak times seem to be evenings on Sundays (GMT time) but every so often they seem to hit some barrier to the system that takes more than just ‘throwing another asset server’ into the pile. Hopefully they’ll find the bottleneck and fix it soon.
I am getting so board of this what happend!!!
sl used to work why does it not work now! 4 days a week i see this!
In the uk you cant access sl at all
Well seems Lindens nevr fix stuff.. they put more trash patches onto the allready failing system… any one know of a diffrent world ?? im tired of the crashs and booting me off …
Club Contest: 25 000 Lindens
Asset Server problems begin
DJ crashes
ppl crash
votings start
Party crashes.
Thank you Linden Lab for messing everything up once again.
Hum… for the complexity of the whole thing, and the number of people, vagaries of the web, etc. I’m surprised it works at all! I’d love 24/7/365 too, but oh well! 🙂 and no – I’m NOT a Linden and I AM a paying member
ouch i learned not to log out during asset server issues it doesnt help it just keeps u out well ill watch my friend build while i read the blog wish i cld help !
And of course comments are turned off so that they don’t have to hear just how truly pissed off residents are at the moment.
It also would be interesting to know just how many of those who remain logged in are actual, moving, person-controlled avatars – as opposed to bots and abandoned campers
Only thw real one dark lol
sheesh this is getting to be sooo old. They need to fix this.
suuuper, yeah … ty again for that! all workers goes to make some easter holidays or what happens?? the only only i hear since 6 days is that i´m unable to connect… uha… tell me one thing i dont know? -.- OMG!
customers dont rlly worthy for u? kk, … since i play here, i know that! pfft.. think i wouldn´t restart an abo about that shit
All started this morning when multiple regions decided on their own to revert land ownership back to the estate owners.
Borked..borked…borked
I dont think LL *CAN* fix the asset servers *once and for all* so long as they continue to use MySQL as their database engine… MySQL is a fantastic database for small to medium databases, but the SL asset database is, from all reports, many many 10’s of terabytes in size.. I suspect for them to be able to fix such a large database, they’ll need to use some really industrial-strength database engines, such as Oracle or DB2..
Tas
I canceled my premium last month .. YOu know why ?
Since a year, no progress .. Still the Same Shame ….
1st time ive ever seen this happen but i am a 20 day old addicted newb
You know, and that f**** stuff we bought or build, that is lost by their failing systems is just gone… lol. no money back.. nothing ^^. good deal! hu :). You just change some RL money to L$ and buy it again :).
This isnt cool!..I wish i wouldnt have crashed!
I hope they have it fixed soon. Im going through withdraws here.
I have been playing several games like Second Life and there is always these reocurring issues with downtime and unstable server setups. That is why this game is doomed in the long run. Refuse to pay money to Linden Labs as long as they keep on providing you with this mess.
As difficult as this is to deal with, unfortunately it is going to be an ongoing problem with SL because this is an ever changing and sometimes very unstable “world” we are trying to live and create in. I am upset that they can’t seem to get a handle on it, and do some sort of preventive maintenance on the asset server BEFORE it goes down. Come on Lindens, there has to be a better way to handle this. I mean for all the money that is being paid in, surely you have enough to get it right?
When Linden Labs finaly will listen to people?
firts fix all your old issues, before create new things like a havok 4 or whatever.
Why do the Lindens just only want to create more problems instead of first taking care of the old.
When they go fix all teh problems sl has right now. they can let all the ingeneers there work for about 1 year before its fixed.
After that year they can start new things. and screw up again so they can start over this game again.
Are you guys just running one server or something..Upgrade or get an additional one. If money is tight, then do something. This is getting annoying.
what game so i can play it now???? lol
Yea i was in the middle of a 3 hour scripting Job and BAM went to save it and poof my nice lil script is now lost in the sl database some place … you would think sence we pay these ppl real money not linden bux that they could use it to fix this ??? but nooo they take your money then when theres a problem with anything in world you have to go thru a bunch of crap to get stuff fixed and most of the time they do nothing .. that any way to run a company ??
If i had more money involved with this SL, I would bitch royally.
Ok!So when log will be on again?U really need a good one….f

Back to online scrabble
This sucks.. Just bought a piece of furniture, took my money, but no sofa in my INV, utter crap. Now I can’t login. Awesomeness. -.-
They know we’re addicts and that we’ll stay no matter how bad the problems get…tell the truth Linden, you’re really clearing the grid to have a massive online party while you have keg parties at all your LLab locations!!! OOh and make sure none of you are using the trademark “Second Life” in your forums, blogs etc…wouldn’t wanna advertise their less than adequate service!
down to 28k logged on, the lowest I’ve ever seen. I am really annoyed with this whole thing. Lindens, if you read any of this, y’all have some very unhappy customers right now, and yes, I am a premium account holder, but when it runs out, I am going back to free. At least then I’ll be getting what I paid for, NOTHING!!
Stop bringing out the new, until you’ve improved the OLD!!
h0w l0ng is this g0ing t0 g0 n f0r? been 0ff an h0ur n0w this is seri0us shit are we likely t0 get back t0nite at all?
Al lot of contracts with every new version, a lot of rules for us—think its just fair that we can expect a WORKING version from your side too. Its not just a funny free game–is a virtual REALITY with a lot of energy, time and money in. So -pls–just do what you expect from us.
Every Linde should seriously consider if SL is the way to have fun and/or make money. Linden Labs obviously does not care about how there’s customers feel about the ongoin problems. Companies that perform in a BAD manner is eaten by other companies who understand how to make sure that their customers are satisfied and hapopy.
Yep id like to no just how long they are expecting to be down it would be nice for lindens to give us an estimate as im getting peeved waiting
Do a google for OpenSim
Then when you try and run this “Open Source” virtual world for yourself, you’ll have a clue about the complexities that SL faces.
OpenSim is fun to play with, but it’s nowhere near as stable as SL, and this is what most of the other worlds out there are based on.
DeepGrid,OSGrid,openlifeGrid etc..
Calm down everyone.I am sure there is not a conspiracy here to ruin our fun.And every time something goes wrong everyone looses ,including the Lindens.Maybe we are too many at times,maybe there are idiots that bug the system.I dont care what it is.But i’m sure there doing their best.
Personally i am at awe.This is the worlds greatest playground and i want to thank all those who make it such a wonderfull place for us to explore,create and be whatever we dreamed of.
A big thanks to all
darn & I had just nearly perfected editing my hair…crash,,,,sigh whats an avatar to do!!….lol
heeeeeeeeeeeey I have a party to go to
noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
..is now heading in to withdrawal mode, are we going to get some compensation for the “downtime” that they are forcing us to take? I mean seriously, I’ve been unable to log in for over an hour and I had things going on tonight. Come on Lindens, you’ve given us this Second Life to build and live in, and you continue to not be able to support it in the best possible manner. I mean, with all the brilliant minds you have working for you, you should be able to come up with SOMETHING.
yes! party party party need to danceeeee
As my friend DJ says it is too often now this is happening… how is anybody expected to earn lindens and buy when the asset servers cannot behave
