Second Life Geography

NOTE: THIS ARTICLE IS IN PROGRESS. PLEASE WAIT TO BE FINISHED. ESTIMATED FINISH TIME: SEPTEMBER 1ST 2014. IN THE END, RESULTS WILL BE SHOWN IN PERCENTS

Private-owned sims are the vast majority of land on the grid. They show a high diversity in Geographic features: land features, ground texture, vegetation and buildings. In many cases, they also have a complex system of skyboxes. But, a classification of these land features is possible and it shows in fact what are the aspirations of the people behind the scene.

Private sims are found in the following places:

The following listings are the data collected by Second Life Geography team by visiting private-owned sims.
