Phantasy Star Online 2

BatMUD is a long-running text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) with roots dating back to the 1990s. While it was listed as released in 2019 in the given metadata, this refers to a later update or relaunch; the game itself is much older, which influences its player base size. MUDs in general cater to niche communities, and BatMUD is among the larger and more persistent MUDs, but still likely averages around 100-200 daily players due to its classic style and long-term, dedicated community.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is a well-known action MMORPG developed by Sega, originally released in 2012. The game received major updates and a Western launch (including the New Genesis relaunch), bolstering engagement. However, as it is over a decade old, its global daily active players have significantly declined from its peak, likely around 25,000 based on historical trends for long-running MMOs with niche but loyal player bases.
