Residents are the same as avatars which are the same as accounts (free or paid), but users (real people) can have more than one avatar/account (up to five, I believe). So there are fewer users than accounts. There are also fewer paid accounts than free ones (you can't be a freeloader and paying customer at the same time). And, the concurrency rate for Second Life is around 6,000 accounts online at peak hours. <BR/><BR/>The Second Life Herald <A HREF="http://www.secondlifeherald.com/slh/2006/02/index.html" REL="nofollow">mused about the 150k account mark</A> earlier this year, just to give you an idea of how unclear the population numbers are.<BR/><BR/>Hope this info is of use to you.Tony Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01743329636957301950noreply@blogger.com
