Replace: I used to be lacking the stats for GBG World as a result of my database didn’t choose them up. (They’re in a non-standard format.) I’ve added them manually and up to date the story. For an instance of an important stats web page, try Baller Nation’s stats or Discovery Grid’s stats or Alternate Metaverse’s stats. The default Diva WiFi web page from DreamGrid additionally works. The numbers I pull are the overall registered customers, complete 30-day actives (together with each native and hypergrid), and land space in customary area equivalents (or sq. meters). The much less stuff on the web page and the easier the formatting, the simpler it’s to arrange the scraping algorithm.
On account of an OSgrid person modeling all of North America, the overall variety of standard-sized areas in OpenSim continues 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 rely these.
Then again, it’s going to make my bar chart completely unattainable 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 12 months, earlier than the grand geography experiment, plus the 1,373 areas it added prior 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 business grids reported 12,308 extra customary area equivalents this month, 366 fewer registered customers, and 14 fewer lively customers.
Eleven grids have been marked as suspended this month: Eenhgrid, Gabngio, Gridworld, KittyBlue, Lonetree, Moonlighting Grid, Nitro, Paradise City, SiLi, Six Sides, and VR-ESC. Some grids closed for good, together with Canadian Grid.
By my rely, OpenSim now has the equal of 159,922 customary area equivalents, 46,230 lively customers, and 491,935 registered customers.
Our stats don’t embody many of the grids working on DreamGrid, a free easy-to-use model OpenSim, since these are typically personal grids.
