Anarchy Online is a classic sci-fi MMORPG by Funcom, first released in 2001. While historically significant as one of the first major 3D sci-fi MMOs, its player base has declined significantly due to its age (over 20 years) and limited modern support. Still, it retains a small, dedicated community. Based on industry trends for old MMOs with niche followings, the active daily player count is estimated to be in the low hundreds.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 15k players daily.
Elite: Dangerous released in 2014 and is maintained by Frontier Developments. It's a persistent online space sim with a dedicated but niche audience, typical of older, complex simulators. Player numbers have declined from launch highs, but a strong core community remains; estimated daily players are around 15,000 based on current trends for similar titles, community activity, and public platform data.
