Here is an interesing one of region capacity

I have been told that parcels have a capacity of 40 avatars. I have a 512 parcel and I am assuming tits camapcity is 40 avatars. What if I split the parcel into two - would each of the nealy created parcels have a 40 avatar limit? and therefore 80 over the physical region of the two parcels???

Please help me - I am having trouble load balancing. Any responses welcome

Mainland sims - 65,536m2 chunks of land - are limited to about 40 avatars.. Doesn't really matter how they're arranged on the sim. Could all be stuffed into a 512 or spread out evenly.

Sims, not parcels.

Quite shocking isn't it? The first time I understood that you can ONLY have 40 avatars on an entire sim, I was floored! And it does end up being the cause of not being able to enter your own parcel when some schmo on the other end of the sim has 40 camping pads active.

Note, Private Island owners can change the number of users allowed, but will sacrifice performance.

Here's a thought...what business are you in to get 40 avi's squeezed into a 512 plot..?..sounds to good to be true

I think it was more of a hypothetical question.

Hypothetically though, what business would you be in?

Thre's a great tower you could have events at on the corner of Loepa, it is built on the corner of 4 sims, the owner seem to have left SL so it's open slather. You could have an event on the stage in the middle for 120 avatars

Some of the welcome areas are set in the middle of a 4-sim square but they still get bad lag sometimes.

those stages in the corner of 4 sims used to be good, but with the current sim border crossing issues, they are no better than anywhere else for having a large audience, and sometimes worse, since you can't help feeling you should be able to move around them.

I was most amused by the typo that made me realise "capacity" & "camp city" are almost the same words.

Over a year ago, in the Test Grid, the Lindens held a load test in the parallel Ahern Welcome Area. We managed to cram over 100 avs on one sim. Performance was slow. Really slow. Like a big grey SL slideshow slow. I didn't bring up the statistics display, but I would guess we were getting a frame every 3 or 4 seconds. The fancy disco lights on the temporary stage didn't help much at all.
