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.

~30 thousand

We estimate that Second Life has currently around 30k players daily.

Second Life is a long-running sandbox virtual world released in 2003 by Linden Research. Its mainstream popularity peaked in the late 2000s, but it retains a loyal user base thanks to its unique user-created content and social interaction. It is still supported and receives regular updates, but its daily player base is much smaller than during its peak years. Current estimates place its daily active users in the tens of thousands.
