How these estimates are made

Dark Ages

We estimate that about 270 people play Dark Ages on a typical day (most likely between 62 and 800), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 71,000 accounts (between 24,000 and 160,000) have played it at some point. Dark Ages publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

MapleStory

We estimate that about 1,200,000 people play MapleStory on a typical day (most likely between 740,000 and 2,100,000), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 3,400,000 accounts (between 2,300,000 and 5,300,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
