How these estimates are made

Guild Wars

We estimate that about 3,800 people play Guild Wars on a typical day (most likely between 890 and 11,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 590,000 accounts (between 200,000 and 1,400,000) have played it at some point. Guild Wars is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

Runes of Magic

We estimate that about 790 people play Runes of Magic on a typical day (most likely between 570 and 1,100), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 66,000 accounts (between 51,000 and 84,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
