Yesterday in Second Life, Sunday 9 December, 2007

Yesterday in Second Life there was:

• 16,547 new signups bringing the total to 11,338,848 signups.
• A peak concurrency of 57,898 at 1:40PM, and a minimum concurrency of 31,425 at 11:50PM. Median concurrency for the day was 40,533.
• The Grid Stability Index for the day was 1.68 (lower is better).
• Due to some problems with a RAID drive during the day we lost some chunks of concurrency data while the array was bogged down rebuilding. We've struck through the unreliable figures.
• Users have found it simple to bypass Aristotle/Integrity's age-verification system.
• WGA strike pickets took place – and may become a regular occurrence.
• Vodaphone has extended the open beta for their cellphone-to-grid service until end Q1 2008.
• Robin Harper has given another update on Age Verification. Only one piece of information in the update is new: That parcel flagging and restriction may remain voluntary, unless it becomes necessary to do otherwise. We've had a query in about this since last week, and are still waiting for answers.
