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.

Estimated Daily Players

~3 thousand

We estimate that Guild Wars has currently around 3k players daily.

Guild Wars, released in 2005 by ArenaNet and published by NCsoft, is a classic instance-based MMORPG. While highly popular in its early years, its player base has significantly declined after the launch of its sequel (Guild Wars 2) in 2012. Today, it remains online but largely maintained for a small, dedicated community. The age of the game and lack of major recent updates place the daily player count in the low thousands.
