The Second Life login screen and XML statistics blobs are reporting that Second Life has passed it's two millionth signup. The figures normally only update at midnight, but someone manually updated them within the last 90 minutes or so.For people who care more about residents than signup numbers, we're probably talking about 200,000-300,000 actual residents - but the figures that are required to make that determination remain unpublished. And -- frankly -- business and media aren't really going to care. They themselves use numbers that are similarly optimistic (units shipped, rather than units sold, for example).
Either way, we're still talking about a lot of people. It's always busy out there. Except for updates, concurrency remains over 7,500 now, peaking over 18,000. Unless something goes drastically wrong, it isn't going to get less busy than this.
