Fallout 76

DragonRealms is a classic text-based MMORPG launched in 1996. It remains niche but has a dedicated fanbase, mostly consisting of long-term players. Because it's a MUD-style MMO from the 1990s running continuously, daily active players are low but persistent, likely in the low hundreds.

Fallout 76 is a 2018 online open-world survival RPG from Bethesda. After a rough launch, the game's player base stabilized thanks to consistent content updates and improvements. While its concurrent popularity never matched leading MMOs, its cross-platform presence and support allow it to maintain a smaller but steady loyal community. As of 2024, daily active players are estimated around 30,000–40,000 based on public sentiment, recent expansions, and visible in-game activity, particularly after updates or events.
