Estimated Daily Players

We estimate that Rust has currently around 85k players daily.

Rust is a popular multiplayer survival game released in 2018 by Facepunch Studios. Despite its age, it continues to maintain a strong player base due to frequent updates, viral streaming presence, and a devoted community. SteamCharts and third-party tracking consistently show around 80,000-90,000 daily active users on PC, with some console presence as well. The game thrives on large, persistent servers, but individual servers typically support 100-300 players, not the thousands seen in true MMOs.

Estimated Daily Players

~1.5 thousand

We estimate that Guild Wars has currently around 1.5k players daily.

Guild Wars, released in 2005 by ArenaNet and published by NCsoft, was once a major MMORPG but now sees minimal active daily population due to its age and focus shifting to its successor, Guild Wars 2. However, a small dedicated player base still remains active in this classic online RPG.
