World of Warcraft Classic

Poptropica is a web-based adventure and educational game that peaked in popularity in the late 2000s and early 2010s, primarily among children. Its daily active user base has declined significantly since then due to changing gaming trends and target audience aging out, but it still receives updates and retains a niche community. Given its age (launched in 2007) and continued, though much smaller, presence, a few thousand daily players is a conservative industry estimate.

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.
