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
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.
