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.

~30 thousand
We estimate that Second Life has currently around 30k players daily.
Second Life is a long-running sandbox virtual world released in 2003 by Linden Research. Its mainstream popularity peaked in the late 2000s, but it retains a loyal user base thanks to its unique user-created content and social interaction. It is still supported and receives regular updates, but its daily player base is much smaller than during its peak years. Current estimates place its daily active users in the tens of thousands.
