newest statistics on Second Life, waiting impatiently, even than in the next section of your favorite series. For some time I refer, moreover, the impression that the latter is not keeping pace with the first. The action thickens, strengthens intrigue, tension grows. Linden Lab and nothing tells us the story. I just need to listen to, and the protagonists, antagonists, and dramatic plot twists grow up before our eyes like a spellbinding staging Balladyna the National Theatre.
Since there has never been taught to respect the word officially wygłaszanego, the machine somehow and spontaneously decided one day to find the data. Numbers. Yes ot, cyferek standing (or stand powinnących?) For wieszczącymi paradise on earth with the quarterly charts Lindenów blog.
As I said - instinctively, where he is not a little surprised, seeing that they disagree. And even the devil burn those rounded curves. More interesting is that even within the statistical position of the parent company of Second Life is lived to see his own interpretation of the multiplicity and plurality realizmów point of view.
Under adored my theory which states that if something is true, This can be a draw, I took up the drawing. On the first image will be the most pstrokato, but not I managed cleaner. Division
color will not remain, of course, unfounded. It shows a significant milestone in the history of the Linden Lab blog - silence. Even if someone looks there only occasionally, he could not miss. Lasted a little bit. Temporarily (I assume it also motywacyjnie) was a direct consequence of changes in the position of CEO. With the disappearance of the founder of Second Life, also disappeared, and the digits after the decimal point. It was already over, Oblomov, and sick, but very optimistic. New MLindenowe look at the methods of presenting the SL in numbers indicated, the green and purple. Blue and yellow bars is the era of Philip Linden.
oldest detailed reports on the condition of the platform that I could find, emerged in the last quarter of 2006. Data on the previous month Filled with the latest schedules. The problem is that old and new tables do not provide the same. It seems that the current position requires the squeeze results of the first half of 2007, and drive up the rest. I have no idea why, so you can see them zaokrągliło. Not picking up, God forbid, but it amused me a good while guessing where they took these new numbers. I know. Just round (not necessarily in accordance with the rules, be up) results for each month, then round off the amount consisting of a quarter, and then, if possible, convert all of the other entity, and again the result rounded. At the end of the press release give the closest result of catchy numbers even more round (always higher) and to illustrate, compare to something in the real world (must be even greater.) Apparently nothing, but the grain to grain and the last quarter of 2007 and the first 2008 increased by 20 million square feet each - totaling an additional 600 regions - and in an official press statement, M Linden zeszłokwartalne 1800 km ² was presented as an area somehow comparable to Rhode Island (per Wiki: Area of \u200b\u200bthe state total - 4005 sq km, land - 2709 sq km, water - 1296 km ²).
At its chart of the island have indicated in green and blue, the continents in yellow and purple. I must add here that, although usually I was able to find or figure out something specific numbers, the last 2008 years, I shared half of the eye completely. Those six months have been released with considerable delay (especially in the area of \u200b\u200bSL) and this only in the image. Fun roughly analogous to propose a contest to guess the value najcelniejsze behind the posts on my wykresiku. Zgadula guess.
(Incidentally, I think it is a lovely effort invested in making the surroundings Lindenów reports. Originator to enter a whole surface of the SL in millions (!) Square meters, and parts of islands called the piece definitely deserves a premium for innovation and openness of mind. But ok, I counted myself) .
nicely visible in the picture, how beautifully and smoothly in Second Life was once developed. Evenly and firmly until it is nice looking. In the second half of 2007, a platform had already been hit. All eyes turned to the unanimously virtual world of San Francisco. I've always been of the opinion that, as people stare, it's good can come of it. And indeed. The media interest przygasiło bloom paradoxical, but it provided a bonus attraction. The official supporters of the restrictions deceived by platform and by the end of July 2007 was forced to prohibit gambling LL
in-world. Two months The EU later reclaimed by VAT, and Congress began to ponder over whether or not such a coincidence that it was not good idea to pick up and tax VR. In October, began in earnest the struggle to repair the moral avatars (it came to child pornography, but the machine is disrupted, which, as we know, ended up constructing the SL erotic ghetto). He then cut off a confidential settlement pending for quite some time the matter Bragg vs. Rosedale and Second Life's motto Disappeared "owned by Residents." Linden Lab
zachłyśnięty success in July announced an increase in Lindeksie fees, and in August introduced the first increase in land prices - the price of output at auction mainland increased by 25%. A little over a week later, Second Life, reckoned the first drop in the number of premium accounts. Meta Linden official comment asserted that there is no connection between these events, and all the blame falls solely on the users with whom you can not connect because I did not maliciously publish personal data.
atmosphere grew tense do. Early in November 2007, one of the main shareholders - Catamount Ventures - gets rid of a very decent money their relationship Second Life. Two weeks later, Philip really jumps out of hemp and delivers a speech about the mission pathetic LL and modifications, which the introduction is necessary to keep investors in good health. A few days later, the company's key falls Linden - Cory Ondrejka. Philip explains that he had to release because he is the boss and now. But even he himself did not live to see a summary of the next quarter. However, we discuss a long time that was not given, because immediately there are new attractions. At the end of March 2008 Residents denied the right to use the logo "with his paw," and announced that this is only the beginning of the crusade against excessive zeal utożsamiającym with the name of the platform users.
end of the first quarter of 2008, things went relatively evenly. The crisis, however, and it had something to do with it. New CEO remedy the problem. He came up with, apparently, that if Second Life limp, you need to inflate them. Even if artificially. In early April, notified in the emergence of another continent and a new, cheaper type of islands - OpenSpace. A week later thrown the last (March) to customers in the three months OpenSpace bonus. No wonder that a few months later, the amount of islands began to fall dramatically. Especially given the outrage flowing from Lindenów for "unfair use" (read - bringing income Residents), announced in October and was blocked strongly OpenSpace price increase (from 75 to 125 per month without any discounts for educational institutions) and the offer of joining this kind of islands - four Openspace'y can be exchanged for a full-fledged region. 1200 Openspace'ów returned after the free trial period to the sender, and 2700 combined. Only 2% of the total (about 300 units) was what it was.
(Another way, understand shrinking as archipelagos, but how come this way to explain declining mainland?)
This time the crisis was reflected in the charts and could not nohow to hide it anymore. Media heralding the death of Second Life and gave it a rest with virtuality. M Linden meanwhile, persistently doing his thing, repeating the trick after a year break, "a new cheaper island + another continent." And again, succeeded. Statistics are rising to the delight of the crowds. This time the heroes are called the homestead and Zindra, and even Linden Lab does not conceal that it was surplus land behind
still falling mainland prices. On the other hand, too slow to add the land does not serve anyone well (just recall has helped push prices artificially horendalne while definitely building momentum maruderskiego Nautilus). But it seems that if the scheme has not been modified, around the corner anyway'll have another crisis. I hope not.
