Limits on Groups

[buddha Soosung]

Sorry..basic questions that have probably been answered a billion times but I can't find the answers after searching for a couple of hours...

1. Is there a limit to the number of people who can join a group?

2. How does the group size impact group chat?  Example:  If I have 100,000 people in a group, can SL handle a broadcast message in group chat?

Thanks.

Hello buddha and welcome to SL Forums. There is no limitation about the maximum number of members in a group. Only for the minimum. All limits about groups below:

• Maximum number of groups you can belong to: 42
  • Roles within groups are sort of like sub-groups. In many cases, you can use them instead of creating new groups.
• Minimum number of members in a group: 2
  • A group with only 1 person for 48 hours will be disbanded (cancelled). Unless the group owns land.
• Maximum number of roles allowed in a group: 10 (including "Owners" and "Everyone", which cannot be deleted)
• Maximum Group Name: 35 single-byte characters.
• Maximum Group Title: 20 single-byte characters.
• Maximum Length of a Group Notice:  512 single-byte characters.

There is a very old issue with group chat in ALL groups (not only large groups). See this JIRA: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2950 See also https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1509
