Minecraft is an exceptionally popular sandbox game with a strong legacy since its release in 2011. Its cross-platform availability, enormous modding community, and consistent updates contribute to a large, active player base even over a decade later. While it’s not a traditional MMO (no single persistent shared world or servers holding thousands of simultaneous players together), its server model supports substantial multiplayer activity.

Estimated Daily Players

~20 thousand

We estimate that The Lord of the Rings Online has currently around 20k players daily.

The Lord of the Rings Online is a classic MMORPG released in 2007. Despite its age, it maintains a loyal niche player base due to the enduring popularity of the Lord of the Rings IP and regular updates from Standing Stone Games. However, its age and niche status mean the daily active player base has declined considerably from its peak, currently estimated around 20,000 daily active players.
