The Second Life Status page messages just before the start of the Backwater Bay Open Regatta, that prevented and also crashed residents across Second Life™ on Wednesday, March 20th, 2019. #justSLthings
The conditions for the Backwater Bay Yacht Club Open Regatta were anything but pleasant. The Second Life™ platform was going through emergency maintenance to its login servers which in effect either crashed most who were logged in at the time, or prevented others from logging in. Yet, we still had several show up to race and even watch. Red was able to bring out her Bandit IF, Donkey, along with Nihiwatu, who had her own Bandit IF. The big boat portion of the regatta was abandoned as it was evident that the ongoing maintenance was preventing anyone from attending due to restricted login access, see Login Maintenance and Host Upgrade from the Second Life Status page.

I can relate, cryptic, the past week has been hellish…. lots of “disconnected from sim… quit or read IMs?” type of crashes…
The FS Cup was not spared, despite the multiple restarts we managed to run at the Sea of Eki.
And I’ve read a few posts on SL forums about the general drop in performance lately….
Let s hope LL managed to sort this out quickly!
