New Club Penguin

Unturned

New Club Penguin is a fan-made recreation of the original Club Penguin, which was discontinued by Disney. As a browser-based social MMO for children, it has a persistent world and supports large-scale multiplayer interaction, though it is not officially supported and operates in a legal gray area. The game's daily player count is likely much lower than the original's peak due to its unofficial status and competition from other similar projects; an estimate of around 2,000 daily players is reasonable given its niche but dedicated community.

Unturned is a free-to-play zombie survival game that launched in 2017 and is well known for its indie origins and dedicated fanbase. Despite its age, it maintains a moderate playerbase because of its accessible gameplay, mod support, and frequent updates from the developer. On Steam, it typically sees several thousand concurrent players daily, making a 30,000 daily active player estimate reasonable when accounting for total logins across all platforms. However, it does not meet MMO criteria: most servers support dozens of players, not hundreds or thousands in a persistent world.
