Small growth in private estates in Second Life 2013

Tyche Shepherd has just published this week’s data on the new SL sims in past week SLU forum post and finally after 40 weeks there is “positive growth” in private estates in Second Life. It only increased by 13 regions this week which is better than the other way round I guess in a drop. Apparently the last time the grid saw growth in private estates was back on 24th June 2012. This is good news at last and hopefully the growth trend will continue in private estates for in 2013. There needs to be growth in private regions and main grid regions this year. 🙂

Since the start of 2013 the net number of private regions lost now stands at 510 (2.4% in 13 weeks) according to Tyche Shepherd. 24/7 tracking of the Second Life economy stats can be found on the SL Grid Survey.

As of 31st March 2013:

• Total Main Grid regions: 27, 570
• Total Area (km²): 1806.83
• Private Estates: 20, 482
• Linden owned:  7, 088
