~230 thousand

We estimate that World of Warcraft Classic has currently around 230k players daily.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.

Estimated Daily Players

~80 thousand

We estimate that Guild Wars 2 has currently around 80k players daily.

Guild Wars 2 is a major MMORPG released in 2012 by ArenaNet and published by NCsoft, known for retaining a strong, loyal player base due to frequent expansions and updates. Despite its age, it continues to be one of the more active Western MMOs, likely maintaining around 80,000 daily players based on industry trends for similar titles.
