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

~230 thousand

We estimate that World of Warcraft Classic has currently around 230k players daily.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
