Launch Update [UPDATED]
7-24-07 3:00am Eastern time: Account and data migration continues to progress nicely, and we are running through our test checklist in preparation for opening Shop. Today’s account migration took longer than we hoped, so barring a major hiccup we’re expecting to open up around 2pm Pacific Time, in time for evening shopping. Thanks for your patience!
10:50AM UPDATE: our old hosting company, whom we dumped in favor of working directly with L3, has completely flaked out and actually been shut down by L3. We had not finished moving all of our boxes over, so we have to put a few things on hold while we finish this unexpected task. Given this, it is best to conclude that OnRez will be going live tomorrow (Wed, July 25) rather than today.
6:30PM UPDATE: the rest of the servers have all been moved over to new colo and we’re in testing phase. Our expectation remains that OnRez will be live tomorrow.
7-25-07 9:20AM UPDATE: We are opening up OnRez to a small group for testing now that SLBoutique is fully migrated over, and once we’ve passed those checks, we expect to open the service up to everyone this afternoon (Eastern time).

Hello Kumi, sorry for the frustration. This has been a BIG move, so we just want to check everything over carefully and do our best to minimize disruption or problems in the first week of the new site.

Hi Giff, yes it’s very frustrating.
I have made a payment on terminal before the end of slboutique, but when i try to watch my balance, the site was down. I hope that i diden’t lost my 800L$ in that transaction.
Good work!

In the last post on the OnRez blog it states “however any payments made to Commie [Commerce Leader] will be made available in your Shop balance once we go live.” so I would assume that the transaction would be reflected on your account.

Kumi, if you have any trouble, let us know and we’ll get right on it. We’ll be posting a note soon on this blog with the various channels you can use to reach us.

Hi Silke, we’re very close I promise! Sorry for the delay! I’m guessing it will be around 5:30pm or 6pm Eastern Time (2:30pm or 3pm PT).

Boefielady — now that the system is being fully used, we are able to spot some stress points and are optimizing as I write! We should be pushing out an update tomorrow morning is my guess. What is your avatar name?
