Ultima Online is a classic MMORPG originally released in 1997. While hugely influential, its player base has declined over time due to age and competition, though it retains a dedicated small community. As a sandbox MMO published by Electronic Arts and developed by Origin Systems, it still receives limited updates, supporting a modest but persistent daily active population.

Estimated Daily Players

~30 thousand

We estimate that Second Life has currently around 30k players daily.

Second Life is a long-running sandbox virtual world released in 2003 by Linden Research. Its mainstream popularity peaked in the late 2000s, but it retains a loyal user base thanks to its unique user-created content and social interaction. It is still supported and receives regular updates, but its daily player base is much smaller than during its peak years. Current estimates place its daily active users in the tens of thousands.
