Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Ragnarok Online has currently around 10k players daily.
Ragnarok Online is a classic MMORPG released in 2002 by Gravity. While it was immensely popular in the 2000s, its Western audience has significantly declined due to age and competition from newer MMORPGs. It still retains a dedicated fanbase in some regions (notably Southeast Asia and private servers), but official server populations are now relatively small. A conservative estimate for current daily active players on official servers is around 10,000.
