Star Trek Online

Webkinz Next, released in 2020 by Ganz, is a family-friendly virtual world game building on the original Webkinz. While it has an open world and social interactions, its player population is relatively niche and skews younger. The game is not a mainstream hit, and community engagement is steady but small compared to classic MMOs. My estimate of ~3,000 daily players reflects its persistent but modest audience, mainly from nostalgia and new child users. Its world is persistent and has multiplayer features, but overall scale is limited compared to traditional MMOs.

Star Trek Online is a long-running MMORPG first released in 2010 by Cryptic Studios and published by Perfect World Entertainment. Though past its peak, it maintains a loyal niche player base due to consistent content updates and the enduring popularity of the Star Trek IP. The game continues to receive seasonal events and new content expansions, but active daily player numbers have gradually decreased over the years, typical for most MMORPGs over a decade old.
