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
We estimate that Lost Ark has currently around 140k players daily.
Lost Ark is a popular MMOARPG first released in Korea in 2018, with a major Western launch by Amazon Games in 2022. It features a persistent world, large-scale multiplayer content, and continues to receive regular updates. The game earned strong player counts post-Western release, but the daily active user base has declined from its initial peak as with most MMOs. Based on launch recency in the West, genre health, and publisher support, an estimate of approximately 140,000 daily active players worldwide is reasonable in 2024.
