I've just taken a look at the
OpenSim statistics on Hypergrid Business from May 15th and compared them with the, admittedly more recent, #
SecondLife land stats on
Grid Survey from May 28th.
For the record, the latter reported 27,789 regions, 11 more than around May 15th, 18,436 of which are private estates.
#
OSgrid stays the biggest grid, and it's still hot on Second Life's heels with 27,145 standard regions. Granted, except for official sims, they're all hosted by their residents instead of by OSgrid itself and attached to the grid, but they still count. Not all are always online, but the same applies to Second Life, only to lesser degrees.
#
WolfTerritoriesGrid remains number two amongst the grids that sent their stats with a massive growth spurt. 21,520 standard regions, even though they're mostly 4x4 varsims (one sim is 16 regions instead of only one). This means that @
Lone Wolf owns more land than all Second Life private estates put together. Also, that's more than three quarters of Second Life's entire land area. And AFAIK, none of it is attached. It all runs on his servers.
Add #
Kitely, and you get more than two and a half times Second Life's land area. Kitely alone reported 18,366 standard regions, almost the size of Second Life's private estates.
Add #
ZetaWorlds and #
AlternateMetaverse, and you have the five biggest grids that have reported stats and over three times Second Life with almost a combined 85,000 standard regions.
The 33 biggest grids put together make up four times Second Life. However, if you remove grids that aren't on the #
Hypergrid, my estimation is that you'll need about 60 to 65 grids. And the 282 grids that have reported stats, of now 428 active grids known to Hypergrid Business, aren't sufficient to reach five times Second Life; their combined land area is 117,869 standard regions.
At the same time, the same 282 grids reported 41,620 active users. Even if this seems to take alts into account, there's no wondering what the cause for #
EmptyWorldSyndrome might be, I guess. Kitely, as an extreme example, reported a bit more than 21 standard regions per user.
