The Day The Lindens Spoke
Posted by Simon Lameth on September 13, 2006
At this moment, the grid is accessable to Lindens only, following a day where, as usual on a wednesday update, everything goes horribilly wrong.
One single blog post has 16 updates to it, plus the base post and 3 additional posts, that totals 19 points of Linden-to-user contact!
Here’s a sample:
[UPDATE - Sep. 13 @ 1:33 PM PDT/SLT] We’re aware logins are failing :*(, I managed to login after numerous tries. We’ll keep you posted, keep watching this space. -Torley Linden
[UPDATE - Sep. 13 @ 1:26 PM PDT/SLT] I’ve gotten an “Unable to connect to Second Life error” several times, I’ve let my fellow Lindens know. More to come… -Torley Linden
“[UPDATE - Sep. 13 @ 1:20 PM PDT/SLT] Logins definitely slow right now—I’m trying to get in and it’s freezing during the login sequence for me. So it’s not just you! Don’t try to relog, just stay in the queue. I’ll update with further progress when I can finally get in. -Torley Linden
[UPDATE - Sep. 13 @ 1:14 PM PDT/SLT] WE’RE OPEN NOW! Initial logins will be slow during the rush… we’ll be monitoring the situation. -Torley Linden
[UPDATE - Sep. 13 @ 12:41 PM PDT/SLT] I’m getting a lot of questions about the ETA of the grid opening—apologies, it’s still undetermined. We’ve got a problem on the login server we’re working on resolving. I will post AS SOON as we have an updated time. Promise. Seriously. -Torley Linden
[UPDATE - Sep. 13 @ 12:32 PM PDT/SLT] Sorry, Second Life isn’t open yet. We’re still doing testing! I’m actively watching the blog and will post new updates as they come. -Torley Linden”
I was just able to download the Second Life client, but an hour and a half ago the wait time was 1:23:00. One Hour Twenty Three minutes.
Stay tuned here and at the Linden Blog for more.
