Core MUD is a text-based multi-user dungeon (MUD) launched in 1996, when MUDs were popular among early internet communities. Today, almost all MUDs see very low concurrent activity due to their age and the niche appeal. Based on the genre's decline and absence of a major publisher or active social channels, it's likely Core MUD maintains a very small, dedicated player base.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Artifact has currently around 200 players daily.
Artifact, developed and published by Valve, launched in 2018 as a digital collectible card game. Despite Valve's reputation, the game quickly lost players due to its controversial monetization and gameplay reception, and official updates largely ceased. The player base is now extremely low, with only a handful of daily matches played as of recent years.
