Runes of Magic is an MMORPG released in 2009 by Runewaker Entertainment and published by Gameforge. Despite being over a decade old, it still has a niche following due to its free-to-play model and distinctive dual-class system. However, its player base has significantly declined over the years, with relatively low daily activity compared to leading MMORPGs. It primarily retains a few dedicated veterans and some returning players.

Estimated Daily Players

~13 thousand

We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 13k players daily.

Elite: Dangerous, released in 2014 by Frontier Developments, is a space simulation MMO with a persistent shared galaxy, but its player base has declined since launch. The game maintains a niche but dedicated audience, especially after major updates; however, numbers have notably trended downward in recent years. Current estimated daily active players are likely around 13,000, reflecting its aging status, modest ongoing support, and competition from other space games.
