Aditi – Ciaran Laval

When I was a lad there were a few things likely to leave you bruised, bumps for your birthday, scramble when someone would throw sweets into the air and you’d all scramble for them, the chicken run where you had to run through a corridor of people who were trying to punch and kick you and a pile on, where the unlucky sod at the bottom of the heap was likely to be gasping for air.

So imagine my surprise when I discovered Linden Lab were inviting people to a pile on, of course being a virtual world the unlucky sod at the bottom is unlikely to be battered and bruised. However on further reading from Inara Pey I can see that this is not the sort of pile on I’m familiar with!

Caleb Linden, whom is not a breedable as far as I am aware, announced the details in the official forum:

In an upcoming server build, Linden Lab has changed the way agents and their attachments get carried over in the event of a region crossing. And we need your help to test region crossing in a pile-on fashion.

On Wednesday, December 19th at 16:00 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) please join IRC (EFNET -> #sltest) to launch Second Life and join us via the following SLurl GC Test 9

The details of the tests are here

In the meantime, please let us know if you need access the the test regions mentioned on the wiki or have additional questions.

Nalates Urriah has a blog post on her blog and a forum post in the official forums regarding problems on the Aditi grid. Aditi is the preview grid, you can read more about it here. Basically this is where Linden Lab sometimes roll out server code for testing, or new features. This is part of the Q&A process.

Customers use it for other matters, I use it for playing around with Mesh, others use it for testing their products because Aditi is a place where you get a wad of Linden Dollars to play around with, so uploads are basically free. However bear in mind that what happens on Aditi, stays on Aditi, you won’t be able to bring your dosh across to the main grid, nor your uploaded products, you’ll need to upload on the main grid again and pay for them.

Now the issue seems to be that Aditi is creaking a little, it’s not a mirror image of the main grid, it has far less land and far less resources. Therefore it requires some housekeeping. Oskar Linden used to do this housekeeping, but of course, Oskar has now left the building and new solutions are being sought. I haven’t had any problems logging into Aditi, but it appears plenty of others have.
