Yesterday in Second Life, Thursday 29 November, 2007

Yesterday in Second Life there was:

• 16,356 new signups bringing the total to 11,165,897 signups.
• A peak concurrency of 52,731 at 1:50PM, and a minimum concurrency of 29,440 at 1:10AM. Median concurrency for the day was 40,682.
• The Grid Stability Index for the day was 1.67 (lower is better).
• Aside from some asset-server and inventory delays and glitches in the early hours of the day, things were actually relatively smooth today, considering.
• It was the end of another release-candidate cycle, as viewer 1.18.5 became the official Second Life viewer.
• The Windlight First Look viewer also got an update yesterday with some minor bugfixes.
• The test deployment of Havok 4.6 physics on the beta grid (Aditi) got some bugfixes pushed through for it as well.
• All the while Linden Lab have been struggling with issues from the grid instability through the week and fallout from the updates.

Below is the day's concurrency graphed for yesterday (left), and the corresponding day from the previous week (right)

Active users reported by Linden Lab (that is, users who have logged in for more than 60 minutes in the last 60 days) is 1,495,561. Linden Lab last updated this figure on 26 Nov 2007 at 23:59.

(Yes, that number isn't getting any fresher – the Linden Lab systems that generate it are apparently not working correctly)
