This is actually quite convenient for me, as my present residence is in Aphrodisia, part of the Fantasyland group in the northwest part of the Known World; should I be faced with a rolling restart in almost any other part of the World, I may simply return home forthwith and be reasonably assured of safety, as Aphrodisia will long since have been restored to service. (Any other island in that general area would do as well, such as Sheep Island, which is somewhat to the north of here.)

I, and many other avatars fled the oncoming wave of oblivion, only to shockingly find that our next location of refuge was *also* restarting, and the next... Eventually outrunning it, I saw half of Caledon gone in a wide east-west stripe, then reappearing, then, the other half gone as well. Jarring, to say the least! A remarkable thing happened a few days ago: a *map sequential* restart of sims, making a wide swath of “this region will be restarted within 60 seconds” notices.
