Pirate101

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.

Pirate101, developed by KingsIsle Entertainment, is an MMORPG released in 2012. It is from the creators of Wizard101 and has maintained a small but loyal player base, primarily among younger audiences. However, it is well past its peak, with limited recent updates and modest marketing presence. Given its age and industry trends, the daily active player count is estimated to be around 1,000–2,000, so 1,500 is a conservative estimate.
