The end of one day and the beginning of another

Yesterday in Second Life there was:

  • 17,589 new signups bringing the total to 11,917,945 signups.

  • A peak concurrency of 61,560 (a new record!) at 1:45PM, and a minimum concurrency of 34,399 at 11:55PM. Median concurrency for the day was 46,627.

  • The Grid Stability Index for the day was 1.31 (lower is better).

  • Things ran very smoothly today up until 1:45PM (the record peak) at which point users began reporting sour behaviour on the grid. Concurrency began to fall sooner than expected as users began having difficulty logging in - logins remained problematic, according to reports for the next several hours.

  • The peak was 2,822 above the previous best (Sunday 6 January). For comparison purposes, Everquest's record concurrency is reported to have been approximately 90,000 which puts Linden Lab's virtual world more than two thirds of the way there in terms of usage.

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 1,354,339. Linden Lab last updated this figure on 11 Jan 2008 at 23:59.
