Today in Second Life, Saturday 3 November, 2007

Today in Second Life there was:

• 24,360 new signups bringing the total to 10,664,097 signups.
• A peak concurrency of 53,476 at 3:35PM, and a minimum concurrency of 29,677 at 1:20AM. Median concurrency for the day was 45,129.
• The Grid Stability Index for the day was 1.16 (lower is better).
• Very smooth operating day today, although part of the Linden Lab data feeds (active users for the last 60 days) failed to update again today. It's definitely up on the last good sample, however.
• After an ... enthusiastic difference of opinion, the World Stock Exchange (WSE) and the Midas Group are accusing each other of incompetence, false-dealing, wrongdoing, maliciousness and so forth. Pick a player and choose at least one of the above. Suffice to say Midas and the WSE are slinging loads of exciting mud at each-other.
• The Second Life Community Convention (SLCC) announced their location for next year. Tampa, Florida is to be the site for SLCC08.
• A discussion on griefers in both Second Life and Real Life classes.
• One of the strangest press-releases I've received – surely these people must be joking.
