Before opening Virtual Bucharest our estimation was an average of 7.000 traffic per day (traffic in Second Life is counted according to an algorithm that measures not only the number of visitors but also the time they spend in a certain location – the involvement of users).
Now, after the first 5 months we can say that traffic is way beyond our best exepectations, averaging today around 35.000 per day. Practically 7 times more than we thought it will be.
So long Virtual Bucharest!

The Orthodox Easter which will be next Sunday will bring in Virtual Bucharest an extra Egg Hunt for the Romanian residents. Coca-Cola supports this special event and we’ll have hidden eggs with big prizes in Linden Dollars – 10.000 L$, 5.000 L$, 3.000 L$, 1000 L$ and 500 L$.
The contest will start around 7 pm (Romanian time) and residents are required to search all over Virtual Bucharest the hidden eggs. The high value eggs are easy to recognize as they are red and have the Coca-Cola logo on them. Of course they won’t be so easy to find. Once clicked the egg will deliver the prize and it will “destroy” itself.
From a marketing point of view it is a smart way to use thematic advergames and involve public in a dialog with the brand. Coca-Cola is a brand loved by youngsters (our public is 36% between 18-25 years old) and the idea of competition, creative exploring and reward is very appealing to them.
For this event we estimate a trafic of 40-45.000 for the Easter Sunday in Virtual Bucharest, with a peak reaching the maximum capacity of the sim, after 7 pm.
