Guild Wars, released in 2005 by ArenaNet and published by NCsoft, is a classic instance-based MMORPG. While highly popular in its early years, its player base has significantly declined after the launch of its sequel (Guild Wars 2) in 2012. Today, it remains online but largely maintained for a small, dedicated community. The age of the game and lack of major recent updates place the daily player count in the low thousands.

Estimated Daily Players

~40 thousand

We estimate that MapleStory has currently around 40k players daily.

MapleStory is a classic 2D MMORPG released in 2003 by Nexon, still maintained with regular updates, events, and international servers. Despite its age, it retains a loyal fanbase and moderate popularity, particularly in South Korea and NA/EU. Current daily active players are estimated between 30,000–50,000 across all regions, reflecting long-term decline but ongoing niche appeal.
