Yesterday in Second Life, Friday 7 December, 2007

Yesterday in Second Life there was:

• 15,380 new signups bringing the total to 11,304,907 signups.
• A peak concurrency of 53,479 at 2:45PM, and a minimum concurrency of 30,210 at 12:50AM. Median concurrency for the day was 42,805.
• The Grid Stability Index for the day was 1.53 (lower is better).
• Apparently an inventory server or group of inventory servers failed during the morning. You can see the sudden drop in concurrency in the charts after the fold page as users were booted out during the repair process. We have no information on whether any data or inventory was lost by those affected.
• Linden Lab divulged their plans for land supply and tier pricing to the end of Q1 2008.
• The beta grid got another Havok update during the day, giving the whole weekend over to testing.
• Robin Harper pronounced the failure rate of international age-verification to be 'unacceptable', and gave an update on plans for fixing it.
