World of Warcraft Classic

Bit Heroes is a 2016 retro-style RPG published by Kongregate and available on multiple platforms. While not a mainstream success, it maintains a dedicated niche audience due to its continuous updates and mobile appeal. As a midlife F2P online RPG, it's likely to have a modest but stable daily active user base in the low five figures. However, its core gameplay does not support a true persistent, large-scale world with hundreds interacting live, so it is not a traditional MMO.

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.
