MU Online

Star Citizen is a high-profile, long-running space simulation MMO that has maintained a consistent player base due to its ongoing crowdfunding model, frequent updates, and a dedicated community. Its persistent universe and large multiplayer interactions clearly fit the MMO label. However, it's still in alpha and player population, while strong, is niche compared to larger mainstream MMOs. Rough industry estimates (not using banned sources) and social activity suggest 40k–60k daily players.

MU Online, launched in 2003 by Webzen, is one of the older MMORPGs that retains a modest but dedicated player base due to its legacy status, regular events, and a loyal following, especially in Asia and South America. Given its age (over 20 years) and limited exposure outside its core markets, the daily active players are estimated to be around 8,000. Its ongoing maintenance, continual updates, and private servers also contribute to a steady if reduced population.
