Old School RuneScape

VS

Roblox

Old School RuneScape is a well-known fantasy MMORPG from Jagex, released in 2013. It maintains a strong persistent player base due to nostalgia, consistent updates, and mobile availability. Although past its peak, it still regularly draws tens of thousands of daily active players across all platforms. Estimates in recent years place its daily active player count between 70,000–120,000, so 90,000 is a conservative current estimate.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
