World of Warcraft Classic

Extremely Realistic Siege Warfare Simulator is a niche indie tactical/simulation game released in 2022 by Screambox Studio and Yooreka Studio. While it had some visibility on Steam for its unique physics-based siege battles, it never reached mainstream popularity. As of mid-2024, an estimated 500–1,000 daily players is reasonable for this type of indie title two years post-launch, with an audience primarily among strategy/simulator fans. It does not meet the criteria for an MMO as multiplayer is limited (not massive scale or persistent world).

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.
