SL breaks 50,000 mark

Reuters reports that SL has broken the 50,000 concurrent users barrier. One presumes that this is not just the result of additional demand but also indicates an improved capability in the grid.

The login concurrency passed 50,000 at 1:25PM SLT (US Pacific) and remained above 50,000 until approximately 2:10PM.

That's about 9:00 to 10:00pm UK time.
