This is the October 2021 Update on the latest Second Life Grid Statistics including region stats, daily concurrency stats and Second Life website traffic. It’s hard to believe there are just a few months left of 2021. My next grid statistics blog post will be published end of December 2021.
Second Life Regions
Since the end of September 2021 Second Life has continued to show positive net growth from 27, 220 on 26th September 2021 to 27, 284 as of 24th October 2021. Private Estate growth has slowly slightly while there is a big increase in Linden Owned regions in recent weeks. Linden owned regions count was 8, 867 on 26th September and now it’s gone up to 8, 934 as of 24th October 2021.
At the end of 2020 there was 25, 614 regions in total in Second Life. Since then the grid has showed positive net growth for Private Estates and Linden Owned regions. There has been more interest this year it appears which is very good news for the lab.
| Ownership | Total | General | Moderate | Adult | Offline | Total Area (km�) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 27284 | 2619 | 16987 | 7667 | 11 | 1788.08 |
| Linden Owned | 8934 | 1577 | 6949 | 407 | 1 | 585.50 |
| Private Estates | 18350 | 1042 | 10038 | 7260 | 10 | 1202.59 |
The growth of Linden owned regions is mainly due to the expansion of the Bellisseria continent from the east side of the chalet sub continent and west/north side of the new fantasy sub continent. This is set to rise further in the next 6 to 12 months as more Linden home themes are being either worked on now or being planned soon.
The next Linden home theme will probably be announced at the 2021 SL Christmas Expo happening from 3rd to 14th December 2021.
Second Life Daily Concurrency
The daily Second Life user concurrency is staying stable at the moment with no major maximum peaks during the past month or so. The daily user concurrency seems to be averaging between 30, 000 at non-peak to 54, 000 at peak. At the start of 2021 the daily peak levels were slightly higher with 57, 000 (average) inworld and as the year has gone on it’s dropped down.
I would expect the Second Life daily user concurrency to rise again slightly during the winter (2021) and into early spring 2022 as everyone normally stays inside. Something between 34, 000 to 58, 000 I predict in the winter months.
Daily User Concurrency Levels – October 2021
- Maximum Daily Concurrency: 48, 000 to 54, 000 (average)
- Median Daily Concurrency: 38, 000 to 42, 000 (average)
- Minimum Daily Concurrency: 30, 000 to 32, 000 (average)
