Pirates of the Burning Sea is a historical naval MMORPG released in 2008 by Flying Lab Software and later managed by Portalus Games. The game was relatively niche and, after over 15 years, has a small but dedicated community. Its MMO status is confirmed by its persistent world and large multiplayer features, but with no significant updates or publisher support in recent years, daily active users are likely very low, typical for legacy MMOs that are still online but largely unsupported.

Estimated Daily Players

~90 thousand

We estimate that Old School RuneScape has currently around 90k players daily.

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.
