DC Universe Online

Ember Sword is a highly anticipated indie MMORPG developed by Bright Star Studios, frequently discussed in the MMO community. As of now, it is either in limited open testing or early access and has not fully released, which drastically limits daily active players. Given its testing phase and community engagement, a conservative estimate would be 1,000–2,000 daily players participating in playtests and early builds.

DC Universe Online is a well-known superhero MMORPG released in 2011 by Daybreak Game Company and originally Sony Online Entertainment, published by WB Games. As a free-to-play MMO with the DC Comics brand and long-term console/PC support, it has maintained a modest but consistent population. However, it is over a decade old and is now considered a niche title. Current DAP is likely in the 10,000–20,000 range, with occasional peaks during new updates or events.
