We'll be upgrading our maingrid Servers to the next release which we have been announcing before - R7 (CareminsterOS Release 0.7). Please refer to this forum post for details.

We'll be taking down the grid for some hours.

Date/Time:
Monday, August 2nd, 2010 - starting at 5AM UTC

We'll keep you up to date on this thread and on our status twitter account if appropriate.

Please direct all discussion to this forum post.

We have taken the grid down for maintenance. The first shift will be starting to do some backups in the next few hours and prepare the rollout. We'll have another shift doing the last maintenance hours to fix the last servers and test-finish the new release.

This procedure will take some hours, although possibly the whole day. The beta grid will be up for a while but will also be experiencing a downtime during this maintenance.

We appreciate your patience as we keep improving your inworld experience.

We have upgraded the asset server and we have done some upgades on our monitoring system for the region servers. Our second shift is taking over and we are now resynchronising our database. We will continue to keep you up to date on here.

Thanks for your patience as we keep improving your inworld experience!

We have finished most of the server maintenance and are now working on restoring search services. We have started inworld testing now and we sould be back by 5AM UTC if nothing goes wrong.

Grid opening has been slightly delayed. We are working on some issues with meshing sculpted prims on one server.

We are opening our doors. Please note that some Regions might still be loading. If you encounter problems after this upgrade, please file a support ticket on http://support.meta7.com and we will try to help you as good as possible.

Thank You for your patience while we keep improving your inworld experience.
