To improve the Second Life experience, we are upgrading database hardware right now.

Re-opened 1:41 p.m. PDT We are experiencing database overload and are re-opening this issue. In-World Services are affected and we are temporarily restricting login.

Update 1:08 p.m. PDT The databases are working nicely now and we are giving an All Clear for in-world services.

Update 12:50 p.m. Logins are open again. Thank you for your patience. We will monitor the databases before giving a full All Clear on In-World Services.

We are experiencing a high load on our databases. Some in-world services may be affected and logins have been temporarily closed.  We will re-open them as soon as possible. As a precaution please hold off on rezzing no copy items or conducting L$ transactions.
