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

~600 thousand

We estimate that Minecraft has currently around 600k players daily.

Minecraft is an exceptionally popular sandbox game with a strong legacy since its release in 2011. Its cross-platform availability, enormous modding community, and consistent updates contribute to a large, active player base even over a decade later. While it’s not a traditional MMO (no single persistent shared world or servers holding thousands of simultaneous players together), its server model supports substantial multiplayer activity.
