  • 1.20(RC13) — Half the crash rate of the official viewer, and the silver skin is now an optional item.

  • 13,644 new signups bringing the total to 14,299,917 signups.
  • A peak concurrency of 61,861 at 2:10PM, and a minimum concurrency of 36,273 at 1:55AM. Median concurrency for the day was 49,215.

The Grid Stability Index for the day was 2.59 (lower is better). A general mess of a day. The morning saw another Second Life central database failure, which shut off logins, the land-store, and new-user registration (among other things). The afternoon saw a failure in the password-recovery system (still ongoing) and numerous brief, but severe subsystem and login issues.

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