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
~120 thousand
We estimate that Palworld has currently around 120k players daily.
Palworld is a survival/adventure sandbox game released in January 2024 by Pocketpair. It experienced an explosive launch with millions of sales and high concurrent player counts on PC. Since launch, player counts have declined from their peak but remain strong for a new multiplayer survival game, thanks to active updates and ongoing community engagement. It's not an MMO, as servers are typically limited to smaller group sizes and don't feature a true persistent, massively multiplayer world.
