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

~60 thousand

We estimate that RuneScape has currently around 60k players daily.

RuneScape is a long-standing MMORPG released in 2001 by Jagex. It maintains a persistent world and large concurrent populations, meeting MMO criteria. Despite its age, RuneScape is still supported with regular updates and has a loyal user base across desktop and mobile platforms. Industry estimates and public player tracking suggest it remains popular, averaging tens of thousands of daily players.
