As a result of an OSgrid person modeling all of North America, the overall variety of standard-sized areas in OpenSim remains to be an astronomical 973,193.
Land is land, and loads of folks put up areas in OpenSim that no person ever makes use of as a result of land is so low-cost — even free, if you happen to run them by yourself computer systems — so on the one hand, I ought to depend these.
Then again, it should make my bar chart completely not possible to learn! So I’m leaving these areas out, and counting OSgrid as if it solely had the 35,873 areas it did earlier this yr, earlier than the grand geography experiment, plus the 1,373 areas it added up to now month — for a complete of 37,246 — as a substitute of the 864,410 it’s reporting now.
Anyway, that individual weirdness apart, OpenSim’s industrial grids reported 1,585 fewer customary area equivalents this month, 1,850 fewer registered customers, and three,320 fewer lively customers.
This may be as a result of holidays, as a substitute of staying at dwelling individuals are going to Halloween events and planning Thanksgiving meals. Or it could possibly be as a result of the overall variety of lively grids dropped from 257 to 249, and the variety of grids reporting stats dropped from 199 to 185.
Particularly, 11 grids had been marked as suspended this month: Eenhgrid, Gabngio, Gridworld, KittyBlue, Lonetree, Moonlighting Grid, Nitro, Paradise Metropolis, SiLi, Six Sides, and VR-ESC. Some grids closed for good, together with Canadian Grid.
By my depend, OpenSim now has the equal of 146,029 customary area equivalents, 42,924 lively customers, and 490,451 registered customers.
Our stats don’t embrace many of the grids operating on DreamGrid, a free easy-to-use model OpenSim, since these are typically personal grids.
