We estimate that Meridian 59 has currently around 100 players daily.
Meridian 59 is one of the earliest graphical MMORPGs, first released in 1995. While it was significant historically, its age, indie status, and limited active development mean its population is very small today. Legacy servers and a small, dedicated community likely keep the daily player count under 200.
