Gemstone IV is a classic text-based MMORPG that launched in 1998. Despite its historical relevance and dedicated niche community, its age and genre (text MUD) mean its active daily user base is quite small, likely in the low hundreds as is typical for old-school MUDs with a strong yet small fanbase.

Estimated Daily Players

~14 thousand

We estimate that Dune: Awakening has currently around 14k players daily.

As of late August 2025, Dune: Awakening had approximately 14,000 concurrent players, reflecting a significant decline from its peak of over 189,000 concurrent players shortly after launch in June 2025. This decrease is attributed to factors such as player burnout, game design issues, and technical problems. Despite these challenges, the developers remain optimistic, citing strong player retention and a 10-year development roadmap that includes plans to explore new planets and regions within the Dune universe.
