A Tale in the Desert is a niche, long-running sandbox MMO that launched in 2003. The game is known for its unique social and crafting-driven systems, but its player base has always been small compared to mainstream MMORPGs. Given its age, indie status, and community-driven development, the current daily active player base is likely under 200.

Estimated Daily Players

~35 thousand

We estimate that Ark: Survival Evolved has currently around 35k players daily.

Ark: Survival Evolved, released in 2017, still maintains an active player base thanks to its prominent survival sandbox gameplay, mod support, and frequent updates. While it's past its peak years, it remains popular on PC and consoles due to regular events and community servers. However, being a session-based survival game with player-run servers, it does not meet the criteria for a true MMO (persistent world and massive scale interaction).
