Star Trek Online

AwakeMUD is a recent MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) with a fantasy and sci-fi setting, released at the end of 2021. MUDs generally have small niche audiences, given that this is not a modern graphical MMO and has no major publisher or developer name attached. Interest in MUDs is low compared to mainstream online RPGs, so daily active players are likely to be quite limited—typically in the tens or low hundreds even soon after launch. Given its continued operation and niche interest, estimating around 50 daily players is reasonable.

Star Trek Online is a long-running MMORPG first released in 2010 by Cryptic Studios and published by Perfect World Entertainment. Though past its peak, it maintains a loyal niche player base due to consistent content updates and the enduring popularity of the Star Trek IP. The game continues to receive seasonal events and new content expansions, but active daily player numbers have gradually decreased over the years, typical for most MMORPGs over a decade old.
