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
~950 thousand
We estimate that World of Warcraft has currently around 950k players daily.
World of Warcraft is one of the most successful MMORPGs ever with Blizzard's ongoing support, expansions, and global appeal. Despite its age (launched in 2004), it maintains a strong player base due to regular content updates and nostalgia. Estimated current daily active players are 900,000–1,000,000.
