Gemstone IV is a long-running text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) released in 1998, with a loyal but very niche community. The game continues to see regular activity among genre enthusiasts interested in old-school MUD experiences. While it is not a modern blockbuster, its persistence and devoted fanbase mean it likely maintains a few hundred daily active players, based on publicly visible community activity, forum posts, and continued development updates.

Ultima Online is one of the earliest and most influential MMORPGs, released in 1997. As a very old title, its player base has steadily declined over the decades, but it still retains a small, loyal community.
