Here is last week's report , a little late as I was away but still based on Sunday's figures:
This week the grid had a net loss of 151 regions with private estates down 167 and Linden Owned gaining 16

Total number of Main Grid regions is now 30000 ( 22879 private estates & 7121 Linden owned), though this has dropped to 29997 since Sunday, the first time since 31st Jan 2010 that the grid has been under 30000 regions.
139 new regions were added and 17 returned to the grid, with 338 regions removed (54 were renamed and 15 came and went since last report)



A large loss this week, which included an end of month period , Most of the losses were spread across ACS estates for a total of at least 117 regions, Lala Rentals were also down 17 and Jewels Island estates down 11 and Dreamseeker Esate down 10. However the Zoha and IGBC estates showed a net gain of 10 regions each.
The 12 Mesh RC Sandboxes were renamed Corndog RC and 4 Main Channel Sandboxes were also added to the grid

Is it possible that the tailspin initiated by that last October "fire sale" is still having an impact, or, have other factors come into play?

more like people are getting tired of logging in only to find there is nothing left to do except go watch gesture bots jiggle at the 4 or 5 remaining auto-host clubs.

Why keep throwing money in a hole? The economy used to be based on hobbyists making stuff out of prims and sculpt maps. I wish the few decent mesh makers luck. It is going to be them vs the mesh rippers soon. We have already seen an unrelenting flood of game models showing up. I do believe I have already seen this one being crowed about: Twilight Knights for the Supreme Armor Poser Themed renapd

Once all the hobbyists close shop and tier down the land baron operations will collapse because nobody is renting anymore. Ops like Wastelands and Caledon work on different rules but eventually the attrition will hit them too. And I suspect this is LL's grand plan to just let SL implode into a singularity so LL can be finally rid of all those customers they have rather obviously despised over the years. Which is why I hope Stored Inventory releases a full open version the day LL announces it is closing. This way we can all migrate to inworldz and it will be like nothing even happened.

my guess is that it's the seasonal dumping of land. Apparently people come inworld and set up house over winter and then as the warmer weather hits in the northern hemisphere they move back to rl.

I've noticed this down the last four or five years now (with possibly last year being an exception but I'd have to go looking through the thread)

I have to admit I am a little puzzled by the 'Chungs'.
How does adding sims this week:

What am I missing here?
Wouldnt it make more sense to just relocate/rename them? That wouldnt show up as loss/gain in the stats, would it? Or do they get the setup costs waived?

/me scratches her head ...

Yes, I scratch my head too. They dropped 117 last week, and then picked up 47 this week. It is strange indeed, but note that ACS seems to be the only large land owner that seems to be making these odd little changes. The others seem to be sticking within the rules that we know of, and understand.

Why keep throwing money in a hole? The economy used to be based on hobbyists making stuff out of prims and sculpt maps. I wish the few decent mesh makers luck. It is going to be them vs the mesh rippers soon. We have already seen an unrelenting flood of game models showing up. I do believe I have already seen this one being crowed about: Twilight Knights for the Supreme Armor Poser Themed renapd

Once all the hobbyists close shop and tier down the land baron operations will collapse because nobody is renting anymore. Ops like Wastelands and Caledon work on different rules but eventually the attrition will hit them too. And I suspect this is LL's grand plan to just let SL implode into a singularity so LL can be finally rid of all those customers they have rather obviously despised over the years. Which is why I hope Stored Inventory releases a full open version the day LL announces it is closing. This way we can all migrate to inworldz and it will be like nothing even happened.
What is inworldz ??? that failure thing with 900( stable) sims and only 200 peoples online?? LOL Second life has 66000 avatars online in this moment . Avination?? another failure down to 500 sims and 50/100 avatars online.
Face it. there isn't an alternative to LL.
Maybe the issue is there are too much creative peoples in the business.....how can survive a medium level plants and trees shop between 1000 others plants and trees shops??? same thing for dresses creators.
LL economy needs adjustment, only this.
About the number of sims, Second Live is oversized. I think 25000 sims (or less) are well enough for a strong virtual world......not to mention that these soooo big Land Barons are a little irritants to me. An Estates with more than 100/200 sims is unethical.....too much money around, too much power.

Overall the grid had a net loss of 19 regions this week, All the loss was amongst Private Estates

Total number of Main Grid regions is now 30007 ( 22887 private estates & 7120 Linden owned)
109 new regions were added and 54 returned to the grid, with 175 regions removed (30 were renamed and 4 came and went since last report)

The big change this week was the SL-Land-Estate which dropped 55 regions, leaving it with 6 live regions (though all marked as offline today). 11 Gorean themed regions also went off grid this week . Much of these loses were balanced by a range of major estates bringing on line small numbers of regions, the largest expansion being the Luxory Estate which switched on 12 regions . "Destination Islands" also went off line to return as "SL Destination Islands".

Breakdown of current regions by Ownership and Classification:


Adult rated regions continued to slowly climb in number, up 4 to 3396 (11.3% of the grid(. General rated fell by 14 to 4543 (15.1%)
  • Estate - Adult: 3043
  • Estate - General: 2799
  • Estate - Moderate: 17030
  • Estate - Offline: 15
  • Linden - Adult: 353

This week the grid grew by 12 regions, Private Estates had net growth of 11 while Linden Owned were up 1

Total number of Main Grid regions is now 30062 ( 22941 private estates & 7121 Linden owned)
64 new regions were added and 18 returned to the grid, with 71 regions removed (12 were renamed and 1 came and went since last report)

In a quiet week (massive grid disruptions aside though they may explain why things were quiet) the only major change observed was Dreamseeker Estate adding 12 regions.

Adult rated regions fell by 1 to 3410 (11.3% of the grid) whilst General rated fell by 29 to 4516 (15%) - However there were over 117 regions offline when this survey was run so actual numbers of both Adult and General rated regions could be higher.

Breakdown of current regions by Ownership and Classification:
  • Estate - Adult: 3058
  • Estate - General: 2777
  • Estate - Moderate: 17003
  • Estate - Offline: 103
  • Linden - Adult: 352
  • Linden - General: 1736
  • Linden - Moderate: 5019
  • Linden - Offline: 14


Breakdown of Host Server Classes by Ownership:
  • Estate - Class 5: 9896
  • Estate - Class 7: 11775

Here are the results of the April 2012 Private Estate Survey. based on a sample of 5000 randomly selected private estate regions selected to estimate Full/Homestead/Openspace penetration. The results are as follows:

  • Full Regions : 2519
  • Homestead Regions: 1759
  • Openspace: 31
  • Closed to Public :691

Of the 4309 accessible regions , 58.5% are Full Regions, 40.8% are Homesteads and 0.7% are Openspaces. The Margins of Error are +/-1.333% , +/- 1.32% and +/-0.17% respectively for the three figures figure at the 95% confidence level. This is a small shift away from Full regions this month down 0.3% share since last months survey.
During this period Private estates had a net loss of 134 Regions to a total of 22941 representing a monthly decline of 0.6% , sightly less than last months 0.8% loss. The proportion closed to public access was up by 0.5% on last month at 13.8%.

4 of the Full Regions were Linden Developed Regions (i.e. sold new with content) and 1 Linden Developed Homestead were included in the sample. Again as with all previous months this is too small penetration to estimate total number.

750 of the 1759 (42.6%) Homestead regions were at the new non-grandfathered rate, this is a small but non-significant rise of 1.9% from last months (40.7% ).


Taking these figures a good estimate of private estate tier due each month is US$4,856,000 +/- US$57,000 . (Calculated using known grandfathering rates but excludes any academic reductions and is rounded to the closest US$1000), this figure is up on last month's estimate of US$4,897,000 by $41,000 , a non-significant fall of about 0.8%.

The top 20 landowners currently control 33.8% (+/- 1.3%) of private estate regions, This 0.2% up on last month , using list prices their holdings are up 0.5% to 29.1% of total private estate tier.

The figures for the top 10 landowners are 24.9% (+/- 1.1%) of regions and 20.1% of tier (the larger estates tend to have a bigger proportion of homesteads than smaller estates). This share for the top 10 is 0.2% up on last months figure of 24.7% of private estate regions.

The Top 10 Full Region/Homestead/Openspace proportions are 37.9%/62.1%/0.0% and 39.9%/60.1%/0.0% for the top 20


The Top 10 Estates by number of regions held are as follows:
  • RGF Estates Inc 4.8%
  • Dreamseeker Estates 3.8%
  • Zoha Islands 3.1%
  • Azure Islands 2.6%
  • Jessica Chung 1.9%
  • Victoria Chung 1.8%
  • Miriam Chung 1.5% tied for 7th place with ...
  • Fruit Islands Estate 1.5%
  • Lala Rentals 1.5%
  • Bell Estates 1.4%


The largest climber this month was the ACS owned Azure Islands up from 1.8% last time. The ACS total Share of Private Estates rose by 1.3% share to 11.4%( +/-0.8%) after last months large increase.

The Margins of error for these Estate shares range from +/-0.6% for the largest down to +/- 0.3% for the smallest,

These rankings are purely on number of regions owned and are not based on FRE numbers .

March's list for the Estates in 11th to 20th position (In alphabetical order) is
  • Barbie Chung
  • Burdeyna Islands
  • FantasyLand
  • Jewels Islands
  • Kendallwood Virtual Estates
  • Kristaki Hudson
  • Lorena Chung
  • Ohana Land
  • Second Lifestyle Estates
  • Weezles Real Estate (WRE)

The smallest of these is about 2/3rds the size of the current estate in 10th position

The regions were running on the following distribution of server class
  • Class 501 7.7%
  • Class 502 6.5%
  • Class 503 26.5%
  • Class 701 25.5%
  • Class 702 23.5%
  • Class 703 10.4%
  • Class 731 0.0%
This more or less unchanged from last months survey


Survey Details: This survey was based on a random sample of 5000 private estate regions drawn from all 22941 private estates on the grid on 28th April 2012. The actual surveying took place on 29th April 2012.A further 8 regions were randomly selected to top up the sample, replacing those regions which were unavailable (other than closed to public access) at the time of surveying.

This is odd.

Just 2 days later, and according to your site, the total number of regions is only 29864.

Second Life Grid Survey

What happened to those 198 regions in 2 day?

Or is something amiss?

Just in case, something is amiss....Holy Moly!

Yes, I know, I saw a big drop in sims for sale, and thought that perhaps they were all being sold. Now it all makes more sense. I think the grid was so unstable, that it was not giving the correct results, and now that the grid has settled down a bit, the true result are coming out. IOW, the disappearance of all those sims for sale was not because they were being sold, but because they were being dumped.

s'okay though The Grid All Hail The Central Grid can lose 200 sims a week for 147 weeks before Linden Lab will notice and entertain the possibility that something might be amiss. That's still almost three years worth of weeks!

I saw this last night when I ran Tuesday's survey and was expecting it (though maybe not the high number). It is nothing to do with Grid Instability , it's end of month dumping of regions by large estates who are on an end of calender month payment cycle.

ACS dropped 103 (Jessica Chung 27, Azure Islands 23, Barbie Chung 20, Miriam Chung 14, Victoria Chung 14 & Dreamland ACS 5) whilst Dreamseeker Estates dropped 26, Weezles Real Estate 12 and Lala Rentals 11 - 4 Other Larger estates dropped a total of 17. Amongst others there was a net growth of 15 regions and LL holdings remained stable.

Did 29864 become the new record low in over a year or so?

I can't remember what the record low is for the past 2 years or so. Thought this might be close to it though.

After looking at the Tyche's grid survey page and the charts there, it seems that total number of sims across the board in SL has been consistently over the 30,000 mark since Jan-Feb 2010. That is almost 2 and a half years ago.

Well, those are the week ending figures from my Sunday reports - It did dip below 30000 for the first time in 2 & 1/2 years this time last month - it was briefly 29997 on 2nd April before recovering above 30000 the next day. I expect this to be the lowest level this month and it will build up through May , though I'd not put money on it going through 30000.

Do you expect another huge dumping of sims at the end of May?

The thing that is really curious to me is that Dreamseeker Estates bought a few new sims, and then little later on, dumps a whole bunch more at the end of the month. This is like recent ACS behaviour too. It is almost as if LL is no longer charging some large land owners any more set-up charges at all for new sims, and this allows them to add new and dump old, willy nilly.

Possibly but not necessarily , both this and last months large drop were mainly amongst ACS estates which did take over much of the land of a top 20 competitor Estate (Surreal) back in March. I can well believe that much of the recent changes are just post takeover rationalisation and may be more or less over now .

I could be wrong however, after all I did say earlier today I thought yesterday's 29864 would be the low point for this month, but today we dropped a tiny bit more to 29859 (it will take 40 minutes or so before Gridsurvey,com shows these figures )

However whilst the magnitude of changes may be different , the period of largest change every month has typically been in the 2 weeks spanning month ends rather than other times even when the grid was growing.

Atlas participants (allegedly) get free sims, so this is almost certainly what's happening. There is zero cost for them to tear down and bring up sims as needed, and I imagine they batch things up to optimize their tier management.

There's a possible caveat to this though; back when the program was first hatched, there was talk about growth quotas; you'd only get the program's benefits so long as your business grew 15% per quarter or something. I don't know if that was ever implemented in the final/current program though.

Given the state of the land market in SL, for SL to demand 15% growth even annually would be virtually impossible. Thanks for this information though.

I was under the impression that the Atlas program gave only discounts in set-up fees. But based on what has been happening, it should be quite obvious that some large land owner pay zilch in set up costs. Of course, they had a cow when LL gave the exact same zero set up charges for anyone for only two days last year.

There, of course, is that other concept that the Atlas Program, given that nothing official has ever been published setting out the parameters, is different for some land owners than for others. For instance, I remember coming across a medium sized land owner who was under the impression that the Atlas program gave discounts in set up charges, but that one still had to pay the 125 US$ tier per month for Homesteads. He was allegedly a part of the Atlas Program, and was rather taken aback when I gave him the evidence that other program participants were paying only 95 US$ monthly tier for new Homesteads.

There may come a point, in the not too distant future, that LL's pandering to the larger land owners is going to backfire very badly.

Yeah, I think there is almost no question that some big estates are getting better breaks than others; their behavior and pricing reflects it.

Also, only one that I know of has gotten LL endorsements in the Welcome emails they send to new users...

And while I thought the Atlas NDA was ludicrous at first (I mean, it's a video game, folks), now I see its genius. LL can strike a different deal with any participating estate, and they're protected by a contractual wall of secrecy.
