It’s the spooky season right here in the US, with Halloween arising quickly and all kinds of creepy scary stuff taking place, and cooler climate exterior. Additionally — we’ve bought the elections. So, three causes for folks to not need to depart their home and spend time in OpenSim as properly.
Or perhaps there’s another excuse why energetic consumer numbers went up. Who is aware of? Regardless of the trigger, the general public OpenSim grids gained greater than 3,000 new energetic customers in comparison with this time final month. Nonetheless, with grid outages and stats adjustments, complete registered customers dropped barely — and land space went down by the equal of 24,000 customary 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 — properly, not in dimension, however in customers — with simply 3 actives this month. So the land space was almost certainly a check of server capability. That occurs. Individuals 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 maintain servers working for areas no person is utilizing?
We are actually monitoring a complete of two,675 public grids, of which 301 had been energetic this month and 233 printed their statistics.
