BlackMUD is a text-based online MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) that launched in 1993. While it was historically popular in the early internet era, the genre has become extremely niche. Most classic MUDs today have very small, dedicated player bases—typically under 10 daily active players except during rare events. The presence of modern platform support is likely due to volunteer maintenance rather than ongoing growth.
Estimated Daily Players
~500 thousand
We estimate that FiveM has currently around 500k players daily.
FiveM, released in 2016, is a popular modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V that enables custom multiplayer servers, especially for roleplay communities. Its active modding scene and the enduring popularity of GTA V have kept its playerbase strong, typically with hundreds of thousands of daily players. However, it's technically not an MMO as individual servers usually host dozens to a few hundred players, not a persistent shared world for thousands.
