And the #
OpenSimStatistics for September are in:
Land area records have been broken again, both for all #
OpenSimulator #
grids that have reported stats this time, for all those amongst them that are connected to the #
Hypergrid and for some individual grids.
Not only is #
OSgrid alone still bigger than #
SecondLife, but it is so by almost 11%, even in comparison with Second Life's September 10th stats which I used the last time. For today,
GridSurvey has reported that Second Life has slightly shrunk since September 10th. This does not change the fact that OSgrid has grown beyond 30,000 standard regions as well as beyond 2,000km².
The #
WolfTerritoriesGrid is still hot on Second Life's heels at 94% of its land area. Now, while OSgrid is almost entirely hosted by the owners of the respective sims, all of #
WolfTerritories was created and is owned by @
Lone Wolf, and it runs on his servers. Granted, it helps that the grid mostly consists of large varsims which are made of multiple standard regions.
#
Kitely is now larger than Second Life's Private Estates combined. Still, Kitely requires only a fraction of Second Life's server power because sims with nobody on them are automatically shut down and powered back up when someone wants to visit them.
As always, add #
ZetaWorlds, and you've got three times Second Life's entire landmass. And the nine biggest #
OpenSim grids, all on the Hypergrid, make up four times Second Life's landmass. Last month, this still required eleven grids. Down from there, grids quickly get smaller. The 13th-largest grid is already under 1,000 standard regions, and around the 40th place, grids have only 140 standard regions, so I'm not sure if five times Second Life's landmass can be amassed, especially if only grids on the Hypergrid count.
It's a pity that there are no stats on the actual number of sims. It'd be interesting to see their average size, and especially sailing grids would be way up this ranking.
