Or perhaps there’s one more reason why energetic person numbers went up. Who is aware of? Regardless of the trigger, the general public OpenSim grids gained almost 3,000 new energetic customers in comparison with this time final month. Nevertheless, with grid outages and stats modifications, complete registered customers dropped barely — and land space went down by the equal of 24,000 commonplace areas.
However the drop in land space is definitely defined. Simation Grid, which reported 25,408 areas final month is now right down to 1,024. Simation is a tiny grid — nicely, not in measurement, however in customers — with simply 3 actives this month. So the land space was most certainly a take a look at of server capability. That occurs. Folks attempt to see what number of areas they’ll cram right into a server, mess around with it for some time, then finally shut it down. After wall, why hold servers operating for areas no one is utilizing?
We at the moment are monitoring a complete of two,675 public grids, of which a fair 300 have been energetic this month and 232 printed their statistics.
