Dungeons & Dragons Online

Scum

Dungeons & Dragons Online is a classic MMORPG released in 2006. Though it peaked in its early years, it retains a small but stable fanbase due to the D&D brand, ongoing updates, and niche appeal among classic MMO fans. Its MMO status is clear, and current daily active player estimates are conservative due to the game's age and low mainstream presence.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
