Fallout 76

Alter Aeon is a text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) launched in 1996. As an old-school, niche fantasy MUD, it has a loyal but very small community focused on roleplaying and co-op gameplay. While it benefits from long-term fandom and accessibility across multiple platforms, the current daily active player base is likely limited to around 100–200 core users, typical for legacy MUDs without recent mainstream resurgence.

Fallout 76 is a 2018 online open-world survival RPG from Bethesda. After a rough launch, the game's player base stabilized thanks to consistent content updates and improvements. While its concurrent popularity never matched leading MMOs, its cross-platform presence and support allow it to maintain a smaller but steady loyal community. As of 2024, daily active players are estimated around 30,000–40,000 based on public sentiment, recent expansions, and visible in-game activity, particularly after updates or events.
