What is the difference between RC Channel and Main Channel? Is it Regions and Mainland? And which days are their restarts?

This week we are in new territory...there was no new code rolled to the RC channels last week and yet we are to have restarts on Second Life Server ("Main Server"). Really?? Most, if not all, SLS regions are still under the 10 day restart cycle time so what are you doing to us this week LL? ETA: Ok I'm a dummy with no memory.

It's not as if we don't know what's coming or when, it's just common courtesy to post the thread LL. The roll is already happening yet there is nothing posted again. It's just rude, LL.

Today (I run on UTC) there will be restarts. The notice is sitting in Status and Inara Pey has reported that the plan got mentioned at the Simulator User Group meeting. It may be only some RC Channel regions, but these days they never tell us which. I am not confident they will stick to the announced time slot. Customers, paying or not, are being treated like mushrooms. We're being kept in the dark and fed on bull*****.

I know the Linden Lab techs are probably busy getting the MP and Live chat Support issues sorted, but....are there to be any updates at all this week? There appears not to have been one for Main Server sims today, but what of the Release Candidate channels tomorrow? I will no doubt be chastised by those who neither care nor wish to know, but I'd still like some feedback from The Lab. Are the Second Life staff so diminished by Sansar work that restarts have just been abandoned for this week?

OK So we have no response to last Wednesday's unfortunate consequences to the Roll on Magnum RC. No real surprise there for those of us who have been around for a while. This week again we have no roll to Main Server and here there IS a problem: Many Main Server sims, certainly the older servers that Mainland seems to run NEED a regular restart to keep them running properly. without them we see poor script-run performance and slow rezzing of prims OR mesh. Not to mention the sims are badly affected by TPs or logins or out. Now I understood that LL realised there was a need for these restarts on at least a fortnightly basis, some need restarts almost daily. So now two weeks will soon have passed since the last Main Server sims were restarted. This is breaking your own set of standards LL. Not good. I won't be the first to yell because my Homestead seems to be on a nice new server and is only lightly loaded anyway, but others, MANY others will not be so fortunate. Again I say, NOT GOOD. Edit to Add: Well well, I log in again at 10:30 pm UK time and I see there WILL be restarts to Main Server after all. A silly error of omission, of course! (I can do you a bulk deal on Shrek ears if you like).
