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.

~18 thousand

We estimate that Wizard101 has currently around 18k players daily.

Wizard101 is a long-running family-friendly MMORPG released in 2008 by KingsIsle Entertainment. It has maintained a modest but dedicated player base due to frequent updates, events, and its niche appeal. However, as a game over 15 years old, its daily active players have declined from its peak, likely sitting around 15,000 to 25,000 in 2024 based on genre trends and community activity.
