HGB: Fastest growing grids of 2015

[Dot Matrix]

In terms of land area, Kitely was the second fastest growing OpenSim grid according to Hypergrid Business: Fastest growing grids of 2015.

Gains in standard region equivalents, by grid:
OSgrid: 4,417
Kitely: 3,620
DigiWorldz: 1,900

Kitely didn't fare so well in terms of increase in active users, in that it didn't make the top ten in the HGB article. For details on how Kitely active users varied over the year (roughly in the range 900–1000), see the post HGB December 2015 Kitely Statistics in this forum.

How are active users calculated/reported?

Hi Serene,

The Active Users number we report to Hypergrid Business only includes the number of avatars who've entered Kitely worlds during the last 30 days.

We don't report the number of unique visitors to Kitely Market or the number of people who've accessed their Kitely account (e.g. their account History page).

There are a lot more people who use our website (whether logged in or not) than there are people who visit Kitely worlds.

[Serene Jewell]

I see. That makes sense.

There are a lot more people who use our website (whether logged in or not) than there are people who visit Kitely worlds.

I wonder why this is?

Maybe they are buying things for their avatar on other grids?

When using iOS devices, you can't go inworld to respond to pms forwarded by email, but you can send messages via the website.

That's true Dot, most people buying items from Kitely Market for avatars on other grids never enter the Kitely grid.
