Avination grid survey 2011-09-25

Avination regions are run on 82 servers at Server4You, who offers servers with either the low end processor AMD Athlon™ II X4 605e (4x2.3 GHz, performance 2660 CPU marks) or the medium range processor Intel© Xeon© X3440 (4x2.53 GHz, performance 5290 CPU marks). The servers are loaded with between 3 and 14 regions per quadcore host, which can be compared with e.g. Second Life, which runs at most 4 full regions per quadcore processor. Performance isn't affected by the number of regions per core alone, but there is a bigger risk of poor performance on a processor with many regions compared to one with few regions. An indication of this is that Avination choses to keep high profile regions, like their Welcome regions, on servers loaded with only 3 or 4 regions. The wide and uneven spread of load can also explain why some customers see severe performance problems, while others see none at their regions.

27.9% of the regions are hosted on servers with a load of 8 regions or below, while 10.9% of the regions are hosted on servers with a load of 13 regions or above. Compared to the last few weeks, it appears attempts have continued to reduce load on the most heavily loaded servers. The distribution of regions on servers is as follows:

load	servers	regions	regions, sum	regions, sum %
1	0	0	0	0,00
2	0	0	0	0,00
3	2	6	6	0,83
4	7	28	34	4,70
5	7	35	69	9,53
6	5	30	99	13,67
7	1	7	106	14,64
8	12	96	202	27,90
9	11	99	301	41,57
10	8	80	381	52,62
11	12	132	513	70,86
12	11	132	645	89,09
13	5	65	710	98,07
14	1	14	724	100,00
15	0	0	724	100,00
16	0	0	724	100,00

Although it isn't possible to find regions via the map interface outside of the area (0,0)-(2048,2048), a number of regions (37 of 760 this survey) are not found inside this area. Since the number of regions in the area fits the total number of region slots on Avination servers, the excess 37 regions are probably not part of Avination, but added to the count anyway. 141 of the found regions are owned by Avination management, team and known alts of them.
The area (950,998)-(1003,1050) is locked for ordinary region ordering, and is therefore considered special, hence the separate statistics for this area.
One land owner appears to have been shuffling their regions around since the last survey, resulting in them being registered as both gone and new, since it's hard to determine if a region has just been moved, renamed, changed owners, or really been deleted and a new one with the same name appeared.

Avination grid survey 2011-09-16

Avination regions are run on 82 servers at Server4You, who offers servers with either the low end processor AMD Athlon™ II X4 605e (4x2.3 GHz, performance 2660 CPU marks) or the medium range processor Intel© Xeon© X3440 (4x2.53 GHz, performance 5290 CPU marks). The servers are loaded with between 3 and 14 regions per quadcore host, which can be compared with e.g. Second Life, which runs at most 4 full regions per quadcore processor. Performance isn't affected by the number of regions per core alone, but there is a bigger risk of poor performance on a processor with many regions compared to one with few regions. An indication of this is that Avination choses to keep high profile regions, like their Welcome regions, on servers loaded with only 3 or 4 regions. The wide and uneven spread of load can also explain why some customers see severe performance problems, while others see none at their regions.

23.8% of the regions are hosted on servers with a load of 8 regions or below, while 16.1% of the regions are hosted on servers with a load of 13 regions or above. Compared to the last couple of weeks, it appears attempts have continued to reduce load on the most heavily loaded servers. This part of the survey was performed slightly later than the following part, explaining the difference in number of regions (739 vs. 746). The distribution of regions on servers is as follows:

load	servers	regions	regions, sum	regions, sum %
1	0	0	0	0,00
2	0	0	0	0,00
3	1	3	3	0,41
4	7	28	31	4,19
5	5	25	56	7,58
6	7	42	98	13,26
7	2	14	112	15,16
8	8	64	176	23,82
9	12	108	284	38,43
10	12	120	404	54,67
11	12	132	536	72,53

13	7	91	711	96,21
14	2	28	739	100,00
15	0	0	739	100,00
16	0	0	739	100,00

Although it isn't possible to find regions via the map interface outside of the area (0,0)-(2048,2048), a number of regions (37 of 783 this survey) are not found inside this area. Since the number of regions in the area fits the total number of region slots on Avination servers, the excess 37 regions are probably not part of Avination, but added to the count anyway. 144 of the found regions are owned by Avination management, team and known alts of them.
The area (950,998)-(1003,1050) is locked for ordinary region ordering, and is therefore considered special, hence the separate statistics for this area.
One land owners appears to have been shuffling their regions around since the last survey, resulting in them being registered as both gone and new, since it's hard to determine if a region has just been moved, renamed, changed owners, or really been deleted and a new one with the same name appeared.

Avination metrics 2011-09-10

These metrics have been compiled from various open sources at Avination. Owing to different starting times for the collection of different metrics, the curves cover different time spans, but to facilitate comparisons, the same time axis have been chosen for all metrics.

Accounts



This is presented as "Total users" on the Avination splash screen, but is actually the total numbers of accounts created, whether they are original or alts, have ever been used at all, not been used more than once or not for a long time, or are in use at present. The number will never decrease, since accounts are never deleted.



The curve over new accounts per day shows that it has been decreasing by 90%, from more than 600 per day early February 2011, to about 60 per day lately, and the trend for it is still decreasing.

Unique accounts



This is presented as "Unique (users) last 30 days", but is is actually the sum of unique accounts visiting since but not including the same day of the previous month to and including the day of the present month. This results in upwards shifts on the last day or days of some "long" months, since it's shifted from the non-existant days on the previous "short" months, i.e. zero values, e.g. on 2011-03-29 - 31, 2011-05-31 and 2011-07-31. It also results in downward shifts on the first day of some long months, because the count is reduced by one or more days, e.g. from 2011-01-29 - 2011-02-28 (31 days) to 2011-02-02 - 2011-03-01 (28 days) hidden in the surrounding slope, from 2011-03-31 - 2011-04-30 (31 days) to 2011-04-02 - 2011-05-01 (30 days), or from 2011-05-31 - 2011-06-30 (31 days) to 2011-06-02 - 2011-07-01 (30 days).

Also, on 2011-02-25, this counter was reset, hence the odd shape of the curve between then and a month later, when it had recovered. A reconstruction of the probable real curve shows it would have peaked at about 10,500 accounts on 2011-03-13. Since then, it has decreased to less than half of it, about 5,200 and the trend for it is still decreasing.

A derivative of this curve is shown in pale color below the main curve. This is the number of unique accounts visiting and that is more than one month old. This shows that these "core" users are more stable in number than the total, which is much affected by new accounts never used or just used a few times before abandoned. Even after most other curves started decreasing, this curve showed a weak increase until early June 2011, when it decreased from about 4,500 to 3,500 in a month, to stabilize at that new level. The start of this decrease co-incides with the breaking news that Avination had hired the "reformed" black-hat developer JCool / Fractured Crystal, and the one month decrease following is the expected response from a one-month cumulative curve like this to a point event. No other significant, negative events were seen early June, so it's probable that the JCool hiring and loss of 22% of the user core are connected. Lately, the trend for this curve is again decreasing.

Concurrency



This is the daily average of simultaneously logged in users. It has decreased by about 50% from 200 to 100 during the period early June 2011 to early August 2011, but appears to have stabilized around the latter level during the last month.

Regions



This is the total number of regions according to Avination. It has steadily decreased from about 1120 regions early May 2011 to about 800 regions today, a decrease with 320 regions or 29%. However, some 40 of these regions don't exist on the main grid, and an additional 140 are maintained by Avination management et. alts, many of these locked test sims, so the number of "real", paid regions has decreased from about 940 to about 620, a decrease with 320 regions or 34%

Sales



This is the sales through one of the major vendor leasers in Avination, CasperTech. They established in Avination in late January 2011, and was expanding rapidly, gaining market shares, until something happened with economy late Mars 2011, and the CasperVend sales dropped rapidly in Avination, while still increasing in other virtual worlds. If the drop in Avination is corrected for the continued increase in other virtual worlds (the pale, lower curve), the total drop was more than 90%, which was also confirmed by several independent merchants in Avination. So far, no general recovery from this decrease in sales has been reported.

Time to live

This is an estimate of when the decrease in the various parameters, calculated by linear regression over the last 4 weeks, would make Avination hit rock bottom, e.g. run out of users, usage or regions. The Account estimate tells when Avination would have needed to be launched to reach its present number of accounts with its present growth.

Avination grid survey 2011-09-09

Avination regions are run on 82 servers at Server4You, who offers servers with either the low end processor AMD Athlon™ II X4 605e (4x2.3 GHz, performance 2660 CPU marks) or the medium range processor Intel© Xeon© X3440 (4x2.53 GHz, performance 5290 CPU marks). The servers are loaded with between 3 and 15 regions per quadcore host, which can be compared with e.g. Second Life, which runs at most 4 full regions per quadcore processor. Performance isn't affected by the number of regions per core alone, but there is a bigger risk of poor performance on a processor with many regions compared to one with few regions. An indication of this is that Avination choses to keep high profile regions, like their Welcome regions, on servers loaded with only 3 or 4 regions. The wide and uneven spread of load can also explain why some customers see severe performance problems, while others see none at their regions.

17.8% of the regions are hosted on servers with a load of 8 regions or below, while 24.1% of the regions are hosted on servers with a load of 13 regions or above. Compared to last week, it appears attempts have been made to reduce load on the most heavily loaded servers. The distribution of regions on servers is as follows:

load	servers	regions	regions, sum	regions, sum %
1	0	0	0	0,00
2	0	0	0	0,00
3	1	3	3	0,39
4	6	24	27	3,47
5	7	35	62	7,96
6	5	30	92	11,81
7	1	7	99	12,71
8	5	40	139	17,84
9	12	108	247	31,71
10	9	90	337	43,26
11	10	110	447	57,38
12	12	144	591	75,87
13	10	130	721	92,55
14	2	28	749	96,15
15	2	30	779	100,00
16	0	0	779	100,00

Although it isn't possible to find regions via the map interface outside of the area (0,0)-(2048,2048), a number of regions (38 of 815 this survey) are not found inside this area. Since the number of regions in the area fits the total number of region slots on Avination servers, the excess 38 regions are probably not part of Avination, but added to the count anyway. 143 of the found regions are owned by Avination management, team and known alts of them.
The area (950,998)-(1003,1050) is locked for ordinary region ordering, and is therefore considered special, hence the separate statistics for this area.
A few land owners appears to have been shuffling their regions around since the last survey, resulting in them being registered as both gone and new, since it's hard to determine if a region has just been moved, renamed, changed owners, or really been deleted and a new one with the same name appeared.
