[Connectivity issues again]

Ditto - just hangs on login screen. I do show that Linden posted a new status at 7:05 PST: "We are aware many users are still experiencing intermittent log in issues, and our engineers are working towards recovery as quickly as they can."

[How long have you been a Resident of Second Life?]

I came in during SL's high watermark in 2007 and was quickly hooked despite the steep learning curve.  The first few years I was totally addicted (hours a day) but my interest started waning in 2010 and pretty much went into semi-active check-in status up until this year when I decided to binge a bit.    The immersive free-form concept and endless variation is what keeps me tethered, and SL has aged like fine wine.  

[Announcing an Easier Way to Purchase Abandoned Mainland Property]

Very disappointed to see this policy implemented with no restriction on the minimum size of the parcel.  Linden is now selling abandoned micro-parcels (e.g. 16 sqm) and as Linden should know, these type of micro-parcels were used for years to create unsightly ad farms with no zoning restrictions, and the parcels were often for land extortion purposes.  It took years for Linden to take notice until the land values plummeted, and they finally took some action to deter the land cutting.  Now it seems that lesson has been forgotten and Linden is on the path to recreating the situation that helped lead to the mainland becoming a wasteland that drove away residents.  You can't figure out a way to automatically re-join all the adjacent abandoned land in a region and sell it as a whole?  In any event, a JIRA has been created to address this new problem.   https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-6963

 

 

 

 

[i lost 1000 linden and i dont know how i need help!!!]

Can you explain in more detail how you lost the money?

[I am unable to by Linden with a valid credit card. Why?]

It's possible that you've attempted to buy more Linden than is authorized for new residents and the limits are relatively small compared to residents that are at least a month old - see:

[Unable to Log In]

First, check http://status.secondlifegrid.net/  to see the current status of Second Life.  Assuming your friends are logging in, it's likely the problem is on your end but you mentioned issues with specific sims.  Have you tried logging into different simulator regions?  For example, trying setting your start region to Ahern, Carnapt, or some other region name you know. To do that, you need to set your viewer preferences to  show the start location on login (Me, Preferences, check 'show on login') and than select "type in region name" from the 'start at' box next to the login information.  

Assuming that doesn't work, it's remotely possible that you've changed your firewall settings and have somehow blocked SL logins - not likely but check your security software.

You may have accidently enabled logging into a different grid besides the main Second Life Grid known as Agni.  If you see a grid name box below the 'start at' box, make sure the name selected is Agni and not some other grid name.

Try to uninstall and reinstall Second Life.  Google 'uninstall reinstall second life' and select the first result which is an old Second Life wiki instruction on how to do it.

All that doesn't work and it's probably an account problem and you will have to submit a support ticket - see:
