World of Warcraft Classic

Dynast.io is a relatively new indie survival RPG released in 2023. It appears to be in the .io genre, which typically attracts small, sustained communities with daily player counts in the low thousands unless they achieve mainstream popularity (which is rare). The lack of a major publisher and low mainstream visibility suggests a niche player base.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
