i'd say tuesday or wednesday..

but even more than that, this growth easily precludes at least 400k by years end. and most likely over 500k.

which also means that by the end of next year, we should be well over the 1 million mark! :eek:

That would be true if resident growth was linear.
Unfortunately (for Linden Labs) it is not. Right now the influx of new people is like a steep curve , but that will slow down considerably. Sure people will continue to join , but there are also the people who leave ;)

Well thats what you think. Infacts alts are waht LLabs relies on to boost the population.

Remeber we were at number of 150,000 not long ago........Its almost summer and the teen grid is breaking at the seams. and they are always releasing newly mature 18 years olds.....Also keep in mind we are growing 20% a month at the low point. Hence 200,000 is not far off. But what is more important the at one time dwelling 6300 people in game is a high water mark......We should hit 7,000 way before summer.

In the Announcements forum they mentioned about 60,000 unique logins in the last 30 days.

That puts the active userbase at about 60,000.

Unique logins, without a user qualification, are based on accounts. I logged at least two unique accounts during that time so that Supreme Dalek could visit the new Doctor Who museum and yell EXTERMINATE at everyone. But I was a single user registering two unique logins toward the 60k stat.

If they meant 60,000 unique users, they needed to say that. Perhaps a Linden will clarify the point.
