Is there a way for me to know which regions are the most populated?

[KeithMurphy]

I don't mean the most popular regions as such. But the most populated regions as in, the regions that have the most people in them at a given time. I can't find any option on the region search on Second Life Viewer.

 

Is this even possible?

[Ansariel Hiller]

Not that I'm aware of.

I think the closest you can come is the What's Hot Now in the Destination Guide.

You can check Metaverse Business: http://www.metaverse-business.com/regioninfo.php

This is imprecise and awkward but you can open your "World Map" and zoom to the farthest zoom level that will show avatars as green dots on the map, and then look for large clusters of dots.

Yes, it's possible, as the others have shown you.  The Map and the "What's Hot Now" listings are good tools.

But, good grief!  Why do you want to visit the MOST populated regions?  That's where you'll run into severe lag.  Look for regions with something in the neighborhood of 6 to 15 avatars.  That's enough of a group to insure social interaction, but few enough to keep you out of the tar pit.

Type "free sex" in search - those places are always full :-)

One major problem with almost any method of finding how populated regions are is the sheer number of bots and multi-viewer alts out there.  Lots of 'people' with no 'person' paying the slightest attention to them.
