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
~25 thousand
We estimate that VRChat has currently around 25k players daily.
VRChat, released in 2017, is a social platform supporting large-scale, persistent worlds and user-created content. Though its peak popularity was in the late 2010s, it retains a dedicated community, especially in VR circles. Player counts have stabilized in the tens of thousands daily due to steady user-generated content and ongoing VR relevance.
