Aion is a fantasy MMORPG released by NCsoft in 2008. It had significant popularity in its early years, especially in Asia, but has seen a steady decline in Western markets due to age, competition, and lack of major expansions. NCsoft still supports the game and runs classic servers, which help retain a niche but passionate player base. Current daily active players are likely in the low thousands globally, maintained by a dedicated core community.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that World of Warcraft Classic has currently around 230k players daily.
World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
