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

~230 thousand

We estimate that World of Warcraft Classic has currently around 230k players daily.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
