Currently 46% of all Estate Regions are Openspaces - the rest are full blown 15000 prim regions.

I've just finished a 1000 region random sample survey of all the 22365 Private Estate sims. 17% of sims were closed to public access*- Of the 830 remaining in the sample 383 (46%) were openspaces, and 447 were full regions (54%) . The margin of error on these figures is +/- 3.3% at the 95% confidence interval.

When I just looked at those new regions (or new renames) since May when the pricing changed and the land store went fully online , 80% of these are openspaces (237 v 59) - There is a larger margin of error on these (+/-4.5%) . It becomes more marked when looking at those new in the past 30 days with openspaces accounting for 84% (+/-7.1%) .

In terms of Monthly tier (and assuming that all 2600 grandfathered private estates are still online) this represents about $4,067,000 per month for LL . With 4 full regions or 16 openspaces per server , LL need 3657 servers to host all main grid private estates.

At current region delivery rates and the same ratios in 28 days time 50% of private estates will be openspaces.

None of these figures include the 5046 Linden mainland regions.

During my survey I also got quite a good idea of the penetration of Psyke's Security Orb as well

- Luckly I could complete most region surveys in the 10 seconds before being booted

Edit:* There probably is some bias in the 170 which were not accessible to survey - Academic and corporate research sims were over-represented in this group - I'd hazard a guess there are a larger proportion of full regions in this group but that is just speculation.

Holy Mackerel! YOU ROCK THE RESEARCH!

Even though I took a minor in statistics, most of the maths regarding error margins and stuff go over my head.

Regardless, it sounds like an interesting survey. I had no idea the amount of OpenSpaces was this big.

Bumping my own thread to say that is 219,375,000 prims across all Private Estates

That is a lot of prims!

Wow, Tyche, thank you. It's pretty profound, how much space people want.

*drool*

I want.
I want a LOT.

.... Holy shit OI WANT IT.

Jsut imagine what you could do with that... individual bricks, nails, just, INCREDIBLE levels of detail at the prim level.

Soon they will outnumber full prim sims. A lot of Estate owners are helping friends out by subletting openspace sims at cost. I've had two offers to "own" my own openspace without being a 15,000 prim Island owner already.

People will choose less tier over more prims. Who knew?

I just want one full sized sim where I can use the thousands of prims to create a sears tower sized fully detailed PENIS piercing the heavens.

I think you could easily do that in the 3750 prims given to openspaces.

Megaprims for the win
