CONCURRENT AFFAIR

Couple months ago, peak concurrency was around 4500, and a month later, was hovering just beneath 5000. That was the highest number of Residents in-world simultaneously during prime time, and even though SL crossed the 100K Resident mark before December's end, for several weeks that number kept flickering below five thousand and never getting past it. Like it were the speed of light or something.

Yesterday evening, however, it was well over 5500. When Second Life gained 100,000 Residents, I noted how that would change the way it was perceived by the outside world. Seems to me this gain of some 1000 concurrent Residents in a couple of months will change that perception further-- perhaps even moreso within the world itself.
