[Resolved] Approximately Five Hundred Regions Inaccessible

Friday, June 13th, 2008

[Resolved 9:55pm PDT] - The routing failure has been resolved and the ~500 regions should either be available now, or will be within a few minutes.

[Update 9:30am PDT] - Inventory database work has completed and logins for that database have been restored.

The ~500 regions affected by the routing failure remain inaccessible at this point, but work continues and we expect it to be resolved soon. If you are unable to login, please try logging in to a different region.

Update 8:59 a.m. PDT We are working on one of our inventory databases. This will cause the database to be down for approximately 30 minutes. Residents on this database will not be able to login. Residents in-world on this database will have restricted services.

A routing failure has rendered about 500 regions inaccessible. We expect resolution to take 30-60 minutes.
