It's tuesday, so there's the rolling restarts. The message means that the sim you're trying to log in to is down. Try to log in at a quiet region such as Smith, or go for random regions like Loki, Mystical or wherever, one of them is bound to be online at this moment

To get past this problem of a region being down for a restart or whatever, open Peferrences->General. Enable the Show at Login for Start Location.

This will add a new field to the login screen: Start At:. This will allow you to enter a region name like; Pooley, Furball, or any that you know. You may have to try more than one. During restarts 4000 or so servers are going to restart in 5 or 6 hours or less, that's 600+ per hour or 10+ per minute.

Regions are typically down for 10 to 20 minutes but have been known to be down for an hour or more.
