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:
- Private Subcontinents (attached to Sansara and Nautilus continents)
- Private Continents (smaller then the Linden-owned ones)
- Private Microcontinents (the vast majority)
- Private Sim Clusters (the vast majority)
- Private Sim Groups (almost all of them)
- Unassociated Sims (100% of them)
- Isolated Sims (all of them).
The following listings are the data collected by Second Life Geography team by visiting private-owned sims.
