Guess I spoke too soon about the Second Life statistics data that I use to make up the graphs and charts. It’s back off the air after barely 24 hours of actually running again.

Well, most of the Second Life economic statistics and some figures related to number of user logins over differing periods disappeared after 28 December 2009. The good news is that the data came back. While upgrading a lot of the charts to the new charting engine, I made a minor mistake that stopped the user-concurrency and user-to-user transaction charts from updating for a number of hours. This is now fixed. Apologies for the error. No data was lost – those charts were just not refreshing. As you may recall, I’ve got scripts that have been gathering data all unattended now for a couple of years – data that doesn’t already appear in the existing Second Life statistical charts. Well, I’m starting to process some of that data now, and make charts out of it, pending additional analysis. I’ve added a new graph to the bottom of the Second Life statistics page. It’s median user-concurrency for Second Life charted over the last 365 days.
Given that it was Memorial Day weekend in the USA, the data that’s been missed can hardly be considered to be representative. Charts are updating again, per usual. Additional update All Second Life statistical feeds quit working on Friday afternoon just prior to close-of-business for the day, US Pacific time. The charts are not updating properly as a result. Problem has been reported. Good news: Second Life total signups is back on the air. The feed lit up again on 4 May. The weekly signup chart will come back online as soon as there’s enough data. The figure presently reads 15,348,641. Pre-purge that was 16,753,668. How many accounts were purged is unknown, but shouldn’t be hard to estimate with some reasonable accuracy. Not so good news: Linden Lab is only providing updated concurrency data twice per hour. Once at 5 minutes past the hour, and again five minutes after that (ten minutes past the hour). Then nothing for another 45 minutes. That means the 30-minute deltas are pretty useless. There’s not enough data to chew on. Technology is awesome. Anyway, right now you’ll see a lot fewer red sections in the charts. There have been a few internal structural changes as well, but they likely won’t affect chart viewers in any significant way (except to save you a little bandwidth).
