At approximately 7:50AM SLT with just short of 27,500 Second Lifers online, the Second Life grid began to display distinct trouble-signs. Numerous reports of failures to teleport, crashes during teleportation, failure to rez objects, texture loading problems, inventory problems, script failures and Linden Dollar balance update issues are being reported by Second Lifers.Within 20 minutes the concurrent population had dropped by a whopping 1,600, at a time of day when the concurrent population should be ramping up steadily. It is not clear at this time if the loss of concurrency is out of frustration, or an actual inability to log onto the Second Life grid successfully. Linden Lab have not yet posted any acknowledgments or announcements at this time.
