World of Warcraft Classic

Occupy White Walls is a niche indie sandbox game released in 2022 that focuses on building virtual art galleries and has an educational component. While it has social and creative aspects, it targets a niche audience and is developed by a smaller studio (StikiPixels). Given its indie status and specific appeal, the daily active player base is modest, estimated at around 1,000. The game does offer online interactions but does not meet strict MMO definitions (persistent world with large-scale multiplayer).

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
