Chilly policy reception causes exceptional Second Life shrinkage
Since the announcement of Openspaces 3.0 product pricing for Second Life (and the subsequent update to a reduced specification Openspaces 4.0 product), Linden Lab has seen its virtual world shrink for the first time on record with a net loss of 24.05 million square metres (a little less than 6,000 acres).
That's a net loss, so however many new simulators have been brought online since the beginning of the month, those gains have been canceled out by customers dumping land, and an additional 24 million square metres have been lost.
For the rest of the article, see the link above!

The loss might be only temprary with at least part of the people affected changing to their new sims that have been announced by M Linden in his blog post.
But with only the LLs providing statistical numbers on SL, it might be hard to determine how strong the impact really was and if it will lead to long term effects or not.
