Black Desert Online is a 2015 MMORPG by Pearl Abyss known for its persistent world, large-scale multiplayer, and strong sandbox features. The game remains popular in Asia and maintains a moderate to strong player base worldwide, thanks to regular updates, cross-platform play, and a dedicated core audience. Its age means numbers are lower than its original peak but higher than many niche MMOs. Estimated daily active players is around 110,000.

Estimated Daily Players

~3 thousand

We estimate that Guild Wars has currently around 3k players daily.

Guild Wars, released in 2005 by ArenaNet and published by NCsoft, is a classic instance-based MMORPG. While highly popular in its early years, its player base has significantly declined after the launch of its sequel (Guild Wars 2) in 2012. Today, it remains online but largely maintained for a small, dedicated community. The age of the game and lack of major recent updates place the daily player count in the low thousands.
