How these estimates are made

Pirate101

We estimate that about 540 people play Pirate101 on a typical day (most likely between 120 and 1,600), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 130,000 accounts (between 46,000 and 310,000) have played it at some point. Pirate101 is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

The Lord of the Rings Online

We estimate that about 18,000 people play The Lord of the Rings Online on a typical day (most likely between 11,000 and 30,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 1,800,000 accounts (between 1,200,000 and 2,800,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
