The Second Life economy

http://secondlife.com/whatis/economy_stats.php

Interesting things to note:
There are almost 13 million SL accounts
Less than 500,000 logged in last week

Last month, almost 1,000 people made USD$1,000 from Second Life.

Twice as many Linden Dollars go into the world every month as come out.

For a couple months last year, the monthly spending inside SL was over USD$35 million.

The number of people who logged in versus number of accounts is really indicative of how narrow that game's appeal is. A lot of people try it because they hear about it and it's free, but only a fraction of those people stick with it and log in regularly.
