Granted for political reasons rather then common sence, but still blocked none the less. Same with other non "E.U." european countries. Could China be just the start of a dommino effect that will force Various SL Residents out of the game based on the country they connect to Second Life from? Only a few weeks ago many (real life) news services were reporting about how the Austrailian Government was talking of denying access to Linden Lab's servers for thier citizens. Moslty because of the rampent Sex Industry and Sex Trade on Second Life, however it was also in large part because the few people who are able to sustain thier real life financial obligations with money earned through SL do not pay Gov't Taxes. So rather then loose out on all that tax revenue during a global economic crash the gov't was thinking to block access untill they could create such tax laws. Just today the Canadian government said they will begin to crack down on what they refer to as "Internet Sellers". Basicly people who earn a Living or Part time living, through sites like E-bay or Craigs List. Revenue Canada (the canadian I.R.S.) is now working with E-bay (a.k.a.) Paypal to get Back Taxes as well as current taxes from people who have not declared money earned through internet sales. Check it out for yourself <a href="http://www.metronews.ca/toronto/canada/article/270687--watch-out-ebay-entrepreneurs-online-sales-taxable" rel="nofollow">http://www.metronews.ca/toronto/canada/article/270687--watch-out-ebay-entrepreneurs-online-sales-taxable</a> Linden Lab and Second Life is a victem of it's own hype, When residents like Stroker Serpentine and Anshe Chung get more press then the lab does, and are refered to as the Hugh Heffner and Donald Trump's of virtual reality. Then how long can these people tell the world they made enough money to quit thier tax paying dayjobs for a videogame income on fox news before thier governments come knocking. Gove't will make up any reason to block services like SL if it be for Political reasons, Moral values, or Financial motovation. What ever the reason, Just like Linden lab does in Second life, your Government will bend you over, fuck you hard and not care what you say. China is just the first country to block it.

Perhaps port filtering? Have the affected people set a different port in the preferences network tab and try again. login screen is able to connect to get the concurrency so it is connecting to part of the second life web services.
