InWorldz hits 40,000 registered users

InWorldz has now reached the 40, 000 registered residents milestone which is great news. Congratulations!!!

 

InWorldz previously reached the 30, 000 residents milestone on 2nd February 2011. The 25, 000 residents milestone was reached on 12th December 2010. Amazing and i’m sure we will see more InWorldz milestones in the near future. 😀

This year InWorldz continues to be popular and a favourite place to visit among the SL community. There’s been alot of exciting things happening at InWorldz so far including a brand new website look, the phlox rollout and the birthday bash celebrations back in March 2011. And i’m sure there’s still loads in the pipeline for Inworldz this year.

Firestorm has surpassed LL V1.23 viewer usage

Jessica Lyon who is the Project Manager of the Phoenix Viewer Project has announced on the Phoenix Viewer official blog that Firestorm has now surpassed LL Viewer 1.23 viewer usage which is pretty awesome.

Yesterday we received word from LL that Firestorm has surpassed LL V1.23 viewer usage both in time spent as well as distinct users. This moves Firestorm Viewer into 3rd place on the Second Life grid by way of usage.

Firestorm code base..

However, while Firestorm can be made to resemble the Phoenix viewer relatively easily… Phoenix it is not, nor is it V1. Firestorm is a new viewer based on the LL v2 code base, and is still in it’s infancy in relation to what we have planned. 

Update on members of the team..

Currently, we have 54 members on our team, broken down that’s 16 developers and 38 support members providing you with support in 8 different languages.

Congratulations Firestorm and keep up the good work!
