Pokémon Trading Card Game Online

The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a major MMORPG developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda. Released in 2014, it has maintained a strong player base through regular major expansions and updates. Although its peak concurrent userbase was higher after launch and at key expansion drops, it remains one of the top MMORPGs with a healthy, active population across PC and consoles. Based on industry knowledge and typical MMO retention with major publisher support, a current estimate of 120,000 daily players is reasonable.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Online launched in 2011 and has been largely superseded by Pokémon TCG Live (2023). The original remains online but with a much-reduced population. While once popular, most activity has migrated to the new platform. Given its age and replacement, a DAP in the low thousands (~4,000) is a reasonable estimate. Its genre (online card game) means its numbers can persist longer but decline after official support and community interest shift.
