DC Universe Online

Runes of Magic is a free-to-play MMORPG launched in 2009 by Gameforge and developed by Runewaker. Though once popular, it has aged considerably, and population has declined over time. As an older niche MMO with no major recent relaunches or expansions, it likely retains a small, dedicated player base, estimated at around 2,000 daily active players in 2024.

DC Universe Online is a well-known superhero MMORPG released in 2011 by Daybreak Game Company and originally Sony Online Entertainment, published by WB Games. As a free-to-play MMO with the DC Comics brand and long-term console/PC support, it has maintained a modest but consistent population. However, it is over a decade old and is now considered a niche title. Current DAP is likely in the 10,000–20,000 range, with occasional peaks during new updates or events.
