City of Heroes was a well-known superhero MMORPG launched in 2004 and shut down officially in 2012, but an active community revived it through private servers (notably Homecoming). Activity on these private servers has stabilized, with daily active players generally in the low thousands range (estimated 5,000–10,000 daily as of 2024 based on community server stats and ongoing niche interest). As an MMORPG with a persistent world, it retains a loyal core community but no longer draws mainstream MMO crowds.

Estimated Daily Players

~80 thousand

We estimate that Albion Online has currently around 80k players daily.

Albion Online is a sandbox MMORPG released in 2017 by Sandbox Interactive. As a cross-platform MMO with a dedicated player base, it continues to attract tens of thousands of daily active players, especially since it is free-to-play and available on multiple platforms. The game's persistent world and frequent updates help it maintain steady engagement several years after launch.
