[RESOLVED] Several thousand Residents logged out and Login issues.
[RESOLVED 4:36pm PST] - Both the hardware and login issues have been completed and resolved. If you continue to experience login issues, please contact support (http://secondlife.com/support/).
Due to an unforeseen side effect of current hardware maintenance, about 7,000 Residents were recently logged out. We have identified the source of the issue, and are rotating in replacement hardware, which required logging out affected residents. We apologize for this unfortunate event, but it is almost resolved at this point.
However, there are some current login issues due to heavy load on the login servers. If you are unable to login, please try again, as it may take several tries to complete the login process.
We will update this blog when more information is available.
