Last September, I looked at the land prices on all the public OpenSim grids, and the average price was $20.39 per standard region.

Today, I reviewed the prices of all 55 grids that I know of that post their prices, and the average has fallen slightly to $19.22.

The median price — where half the grids are lower, and half are higher — fell even more dramatically, from $17.00 last fall to $15.00 today.

Nine grids had prices under $10 — Naras Nook at $5, Neverworld at $5, My Virtual Community at $5.60, Virtual Life Brasil at $6.14, Genesis MetaVerse at $7.95, Dynamic Worldz at $8, Genesis Global Journey at $8, Logicamp at $8.95, and Atek Grid at $8.95. All nine are hypergrid-enabled.

Seven grids had prices at $40 or higher — InWorldz at $40, UFSGrid at $50, Virtual Highway at $40, Exo-Life at $50, MetaCosmo at $72.71, YrGrid at $60, and  ToPi`s World at $44.78. Of these, Exo-Life, YrGrid, and Topi’s World were hypergrid-enabled, while InWorldz, UFSGrid, Virtual Highway and MetaCosmo were not.

Hypergrid-enabled grids typically had lower land prices.

The average price for a standard region on the 47 hypergrid-enabled grids on this list was $17.20. The average price on  the eight non-hypergrid grids was $31.08, which was 81 percent higher.

When comparing prices, I looked at the monthly costs, converted to US dollars, of a 15,000-prim region. If a grid did not offer 15,000 prim regions, I used the next larger in size.

While some grids also have free land offers, I did not consider those for this report.
