A Tale in the Desert is a niche, long-running sandbox MMO that launched in 2003.

Given its age, indie status, and community-driven development, the current daily active player base is likely under 200.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 13k players daily.
Elite: Dangerous, released in 2014 by Frontier Developments, is a space simulation MMO with a persistent shared galaxy, but its player base has declined since launch. The game maintains a niche but dedicated audience, especially after major updates; however, numbers have notably trended downward in recent years. Current estimated daily active players are likely around 13,000, reflecting its aging status, modest ongoing support, and competition from other space games.
