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
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.
