Re: [mmox] The Story So Far...

With OpenSim/Second Life, it could, in theory, be quite a few more 
neighboring sims if your draw distance is set high enough since a sim 
only covers 256 meters while draw distrance can be set as high as 512:

n = neighbor
p = "parent"

nnnnn
nnnnn
nnpnn
nnnnn
nnnnn

And this assumes a single sim-size for all sims, and only a Cartesian 2D 
coordinate system (hence "grid") with no fun stuff like space station 
simulators or ring worlds or Dyson spheres (or MC Escher-esque worlds 
for that matter).
