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

~15 thousand

We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 15k players daily.

Elite: Dangerous released in 2014 and is maintained by Frontier Developments. It's a persistent online space sim with a dedicated but niche audience, typical of older, complex simulators. Player numbers have declined from launch highs, but a strong core community remains; estimated daily players are around 15,000 based on current trends for similar titles, community activity, and public platform data.
