Second Life growing pains generate restricted access during peak times plan

Basically, the contingency plan the Lindens have set into place is to not allow unverified accounts onto the grid during peak usage. This doesn’t mean all free accounts; it mean those which haven’t conducted business with Linden lab either by being a premium account holder, owning land, or purchasing currency on the LindeX. In other words anyone who is not contributing in some meaningful way to the world of Second Life.
