Realms of Despair is a long-running text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) first launched in 1994. While it was one of the larger online text RPGs in its prime, the player base of MUDs has greatly diminished due to the rise of graphical MMORPGs. Today, dedicated communities remain but active daily user numbers tend to be very low, typically ranging from a few dozen to at most a few hundred for even the most resilient MUDs. Based on these genre trends and the game's age, it's likely that current daily players are around 50.
Estimated Daily Players
~35 thousand
We estimate that Pokémon Trading Card Game Online has currently around 35k players daily.
Pokémon Trading Card Game Online was a popular digital adaptation of the Pokémon TCG, released in 2011. The game maintained a modest but dedicated player base due to the Pokémon brand, but its daily active player count declined after the launch of Pokémon TCG Live (which replaced PTCGO starting in 2023). The original client is no longer actively supported, and most of the active player base has transitioned to Live. Estimated daily players on the old service are very low, possibly only a few thousand globally, but the Pokémon TCG franchise remains strong overall.
