Re: Numbers of Kitely regions vs SL private regions

For completeness, let's look at the numbers as they exist today, on the Sunday after the week that Kitely's land area overtook that of the private estates on Second Life.

Tyche Shepherd's SL gridsurvey.com on 20 August 2017 shows there are 16,339 private estate regions.

The Kitely splash log-in screen says there are 16,382 standard regions on Kitely.

This means that Kitely's land area is 100.26% of the land area of SL private estates.

Here's a graph showing the numbers from Kitely's opening, in April 2011. The dashed lines are trendlines for the whole period, calculated automatically by Apple Numbers.

As you can see, from April 2015, Kitely started to grow quite a bit faster than the overall trendline; hence the earlier than predicted date of matching SL's private estate land area.

You can also see that SL's decline in land area has eased back a little since about January 2014. It'll be interesting to see how the opening of Sansar will affect this.

I been alpha tester at Sansar since December 2016 and still continue beta testing it after its public opening... its system requirements over there are higher... it would take sometime till the beta progresses with features based on all feedback from the testers... overall I like it..

What has happened in the month since Kitely grid's land area overtook the area of SL's private estates?

On 13 August 2017, Tyche Shepherd's SL Grid Survey noted that the number of private estate regions stood at 16,346. Today, on 17 September 2017, the Grid Survey reports the number is 16,295, a decrease of 51 regions.

Kitely's land area on 13 August was 16,309, and on 17 September (as reported on the log-in splash screen) it is 16,706, an increase of 397 regions over the same period of time.

It's nearly the end of the year where Kitely's land area overtook the area of SL's private estate regions (August 2017). What has happened over the past 12 months?

Tyche Shepherd updated her SL Grid Survey on 28 December 2017. At that point there were 16,102 private estate regions. A year ago, on 25 December 2016, there were 16,792. So over the 12 months, 690 private estate regions were lost from the SL land area, a decrease of 4.11%.

From Kitely's log-in splash screen just now (29 December 2017), there are 17,379 standard region equivalents on Kitely. On 18 December 2016, Kitely had just 14,103. So over the past year, Kitely's land area grew by 3,276 standard region equivalents, an increase of 23.23%.

For every single private estate region lost by SL, Kitely's land area increased by 4.75 standard region equivalents.

How does Kitely compare with the whole SL main grid, including Linden-owned regions? On 28 December 2017, SL main grid covered 23,328 regions (private estates + mainland). So Kitely's land area is currently 74.5% of the whole of SL main grid.
