Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds

Wakfu

Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds is a pioneering classic MMORPG that launched in 1996. It still maintains a small but dedicated player base due to its niche appeal and historical significance, but as a nearly three-decade-old game without major modern relaunches, its current daily player count is very low—likely in the low hundreds, mostly longtime fans. It is clearly an MMO by design, featuring a persistent world and large-scale multiplayer interactions.

Wakfu is a tactical MMORPG by Ankama, released in 2012. While it has a loyal niche player base, the game's age and relatively modest presence outside of French-speaking regions has led to a gradual decline in player numbers. As of 2024, it's likely to average around 4,000 daily players, with periodic increases during major updates or events.
