  1. Never mind, it was a temporary issue, it seems. I just logged my accounts.
  2. Can't login any of my accounts. I changed the DNS servers but the problem persists. I can access my web dashboard, though. [EDIT] Of course that the message I get is the usual generic one, and there's nothing on the GSP about it so far.
  3. Besides the DNS issue that had been happening some time ago, it may also be an inventory problem. File a support ticket because if the problem is your inventory, they will fix it easily.
  4. Yeah, it seems their fix doesn't last long. They must be using very old tape. 😛
  5. It can be an inventory issue. Or maybe a DNS problem. Try using different DNS servers and if that doesn't work you better file a ticket.
  6. Ha! Ha! That is partially true. And it's only partially because there are loads of good, attractive content that is ready to use without needing to know all those details. Details will come with time, if the new users stick around. Anyway, that's one of the reasons why communities are important: they provide help.
  7. Exactly. Also, who has the time and patience to wait for years to have a new virtual world working more or less as it should? SL evolves slowly enough for us, users, to keep up with the changes. And how it has changed since I joined, back in 2011! Comparing SL to any game is a a mistake. Although it can be seen as a game, it is not. It's all about building your identity and shaping how your virtual life is.
  8. Yep, I'm getting that when trying to access my dashboard.
  9. You're probably right but also consider that this is a niche, and possibly the number of people who can actually spend time learning a new thing after using something for years is possibly even smaller. I think the Lab learned from Sansar, not only technically but also as a business. What do people say about trying something a second time and expect a different outcome?
  10. For me, to put it simply, it's a matter of trust in general.
  11. Everything went wonky. My DJ event is a cloud party (and my face is grey).
  12. An alt account can get in the region right after the other account has been banned. I've seen it happen a few times in Innsmouth. Apparently, there is some delay before all accounts are banned. [EDIT] Oh, I just read what Whirly wrote about it, and it makes sense. So, before all accounts are banned the one that has just been entered to the ban list has to try getting in again.
  13. Try what is suggested on the Grid Status, which is use different DNS servers than you have set at the moment. I had that problem a couple days ago. I couldn't login my main account but could enter with my alt. After talking with Support (they said it's a known issue but there is no ETA for a fix) I changed from Google's DNS servers to my own ISP's DNS, and it's been fine so far.
  14. Right. Logging in was fine, the problem was connecting to the cloud, where SL really is, as you know. Now I'm wondering if all the other people who experienced the issues use the service of ISP's belonging to the Altice group (my ISP is a company that is owned by that group).
  15. It's all good. Google DNS is working too. May have been some network in the way that was slow or blocking traffic. As the Lindens don't say what it was, all we can do is guessing. [EDIT - a lot of editing, as not being a techie it takes me quite sometime to have an idea about it all and I'd hate to be unfair to any of those involved] Here's some info gathered from a traceroute to a403.b.akamai.net I was asked to perform on that horrible day compared to how it is right now (have a look at that particular slow hop): then > 4 6 ms 6 ms 5 ms lis1-cr1-be10-200.cprm.net [195.8.30.237] 5 27 ms 41 ms 41 ms akamai1.cprm.net [195.8.10.110] 6 6 ms 6 ms 5 ms a95-100-100-10.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com [95.100.100.10] now (while staying in-world) > 4 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms lis1-cr1-be10-200.cprm.net [195.8.30.237] 5 8 ms 6 ms 13 ms akamai1.cprm.net [195.8.10.110] 6 6 ms 5 ms 5 ms a95-100-100-17.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com [95.100.100.17] akamai.net is a cloud services provider. cprm.net is my ISP. Hmmm... It looks like my ISP was having trouble accessing the cloud. But what about the other ISP's? (France, Germany, UK and Brazil, at least) But why an SL unscheduled login maintenance that seems to have solved the problem? Was it the login system routing some connections (ISP's) though a troubled network? Yeah, I'm totally clueless. (yes, only now I had the time to look at it more closely)
  16. Changing DNS service from Google to Cloudflare. We'll see how it goes.
  17. The issue is intermittent now. I could login fine about an hour ago at my home parcel and teleport around for a while... until it's back. [EDIT] I was logged out and now I get stuck waiting for region handshake, no matter where I try to login. [EDIT 2] Yes, it comes and goes away. I'm back in and could teleport to a store.
  18. Yeah, LL seems ready to discard whatever they might be responsible for. Anyway, I'm off to sleep. We'll see how it goes tomorrow and the next few days. I'd hate to cancel my membership but if I can't enjoy SL, I'll find some other entertainment and maybe even save some money.
  19. My Firestorm 6.6.17 worked fine between about 9:30 and around 2 am SLT. Doesn't make sense to me that at some point it would change whatever might be needed by other viewers. [EDIT] Unless it's an inventory problem. Hmmm...
  20. No VPN here. I only use the built-in Windows security tools. And all Firestorm and Second Life Viewer critical folders are whitelisted.
  21. Yes! That's the only thing that makes sense to me.
  22. I'm using Windows 10 up-to-date. And as I wrote before, it all worked just fine early today. Support seems to be out of solutions. Now they recommend that I contact my ISP, which isn't the same ISP people with the same problem in the UK, France, Germany and Brazil (and who knows where else) have. My PC is hardwired to the router, as it's always been. That was another suggestion from Support besides recommending me to contact my ISP. If this issue persists over time, I will be forced to cancel my membership and take out all the money stored in my Tilia account.
  23. I am in Portugal and my ISP is MEO. Testing the connection to Comcast in Portland, Oregon, I was even surprised to get 500 Mbps download in average (tried it a few times).
  24. I just finally logged in at my home parcel (not at the home point) with Firestorm 6-6-17-70368, which had been running fine very early today, from around 9:30 pm till about 2 am SLT, until the issues began. Well, I think it still works fine, it's just something that happened somewhere.
