Hero Online

Old School RuneScape

Hero Online is a fantasy MMORPG that launched in 2006. Given its age (over 15 years old), faded presence in the genre, and lack of recent notable updates or active community, it likely has a very small, niche playerbase. Most similar games with comparable age and support tend to fall well below 1,000 daily active players unless propped up by regional popularity or nostalgia. Netgame Inc is not a major publisher, and the game's Western presence is limited.

Old School RuneScape is a well-known fantasy MMORPG from Jagex, released in 2013. It maintains a strong persistent player base due to nostalgia, consistent updates, and mobile availability. Although past its peak, it still regularly draws tens of thousands of daily active players across all platforms. Estimates in recent years place its daily active player count between 70,000–120,000, so 90,000 is a conservative current estimate.
