A bit disappointed since this is not a history of SL but that of Linden, not including histories of events or residents. Someone said, a company who started to write its history is at a plateau of development. SL is more than hitting a plateau though. The below is status of private estate shown in the SL official page. The year of 2007 when I started SL was at an explosive expansion.

The world map of 16 SIMs that were released at the beginning. The world has spread out form here. The twelve EDO SIMs were established in 2008. The development of works for the SIMs were very exciting to watch. They were really enjoying the process.




The world map that I made last year. It seems to be few changes since then. As of February, there are 18.557 personal SIMs, 7,053 by Linden, total of 25.610. How will be the coming SL?
