Realms of Despair is a text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) that launched in 1994 and is one of the oldest online fantasy RPGs still in operation. These games have a small, resilient core player base but see very low daily activity by modern standards, especially given its age and niche appeal. MUD communities are typically in the dozens after nearly 30 years online.

Estimated Daily Players

~35 thousand

We estimate that New World has currently around 35k players daily.

New World, launched by Amazon Game Studios in September 2021, saw a massive player base at launch but has since experienced typical post-launch decline. As an MMORPG with ongoing updates and a moderate community, it is likely to have around 30,000–40,000 daily active players as of 2024—primarily based on Steam charts and genre performance trends.
