Our hosted server company had an issue with one of their server racks that caused all of the associated servers to crash.  Unfortunately our data server was on that rack.  Even more unfortunately, when the server came back online the MySQL services were trashed.  The result is that our SL data collection is temporarily offline while we try to recover the data and get things back up and running.  

UPDATE:

After several unsuccessful attempts at fixing the corrupt InnoDB tables, we had to give up and start MySQL from scratch.  We are in the process of re-uploading our backup, however the data is large (~100GB), and our internet tubes are small, so this is going to take awhile.  We hope to have things restored in a few days.  Apologies for the inconvenience.

 UPDATE #2:

All map functions should be operational now.  There are still some issues with the land search functions that we are working on. 

we have significantly improved the performance of our best-selling in world tool for viewing the land price history for specific parcels in the grid.  our land scout HUD will show you the current and historical ownership and asking prices for the current parcel with the click of a button.  the uses are numerous: find our how much the current seller paid for the land, negotiate a better deal by seeing if the owner is desperate and lowering prices, compare pricing with the neighbors.

the land scout HUD is available in world from the mappa novus HQ  at moraine 249, 240, 49.  click on the link to be directed directly to our HQ.
