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.
