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
~45 thousand
We estimate that Star Citizen has currently around 45k players daily.
Star Citizen is a highly ambitious, persistent online sci-fi universe developed by Cloud Imperium Games and in development since 2013. The game maintains strong interest due to continuous updates and community engagement, though it's still in alpha. Its daily active players generally range from 30,000 to 60,000, despite being niche compared to mainstream MMOs, but with a loyal playerbase and steady developer communication.
