Oort Online

World of Warcraft Classic

Oort Online is the original title for what later became 'Boundless,' a sandbox MMO developed by Wonderstruck Games. As Boundless, the game launched in 2018 and has since maintained a niche community. However, its daily player base is quite small due to its age, limited marketing, and niche appeal. It still has elements of a persistent world and large-scale multiplayer, thus fitting the MMO definition, but its active player count in 2024 is likely under 200 per day.

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.
