Does anyone have an idea how many people are in SL now? I heard 17,000 had signed up but I'm pretty sure that's a low and old number.

27,000 or therabouts, growth rate of around 20% a month.

27,000 or therabouts, growth rate of around 20% a month. LF So in 10 years the population of SL will be 85,726,144,092,069 or therabouts (if we can sustain this growth rate that long, which seems like it should be pretty easy.) Of course, some of them are alts. Buster |

in 10 years the population of SL will be 0 because it won't be around anymore. i dunno what the population of TL (3rd Life) will be tho. maybe 85,726,144,092,069.

Also, check out Ezhar Fairlight's Second Life User Data page.
Database Status This database contains data about 34525 users. 5413 of them have been spotted online within the last 30 days. Between 40 days ago and 10 days ago, 2580 users have been spotted online. I'm not sure how much geographic coverage Ezhar's system has when detecting unique avs. _____________________

Do you have a link? Negative. Adam keeps his numbers close to his secret arsenal of deadly ninja weaponry, or something. I dunno his exact figures, sadly. LF _____________________

I've been curous about this as well. I wonder how many active users we have in SL. By active, I mean the total minus alt accounts and deadbeat lifetime accounts.
I'm curious if the leaderboards are a good source for the total number? My lowest ranking is somewhere around 4900 I believe. If everyone checks their lowest ranking, maybe we can figure how many people Linden counts for the purpose of leaderboards. Hmm, do non-premium accounts appear on the leaderboards? If not, then screw my method. |

If not, then screw my method. Yes they do. Unfortunately I can only get 3 figures to display on one of them. My change in high score is 0, which makes me joint bottom with 305... |
