New Club Penguin

VS

Scum

New Club Penguin is a private server revival of the original Club Penguin, which was discontinued by Disney in 2017. Such private servers tend to have fluctuating but generally modest player bases—typically in the low thousands—sustained by nostalgia and community events. Given its 2020 re-launch and ongoing niche appeal, a current estimate of around 7,500 daily players is reasonable.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
