Dune MUD is a classic multi-user dungeon (MUD) that has been running since 1992, making it one of the oldest persistent text-based online RPGs inspired by Dune's universe. MUDs generally have very small, loyal communities in the 2020s, with most older MUDs maintaining between 10 and 50 daily active players. Dune MUD does not have widespread modern appeal, but likely retains a niche following.
Estimated Daily Players
~100 thousand
We estimate that Rust has currently around 100k players daily.
Rust is a well-known multiplayer survival game, released in 2018 by Facepunch Studios. It maintains high popularity on platforms like Steam due to frequent updates, Twitch presence, and a strong PvP-focused community. It typically sees tens of thousands of concurrent players, so 100,000 daily players is a reasonable estimate for 2024.
