World of Warcraft (WoW) is one of the most iconic and long-lived MMORPGs, originally released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. Despite its age, it continues to attract a sizable playerbase due to regular expansions, updates, and strong community support. While it is far from its early peak, it remains a top subscription-based MMO and likely sustains about 500,000 to 800,000 daily active players globally, factoring in both retail and Classic versions.

Estimated Daily Players

~1.5 thousand

We estimate that Guild Wars has currently around 1.5k players daily.

Guild Wars, released in 2005 by ArenaNet and published by NCsoft, was once a major MMORPG but now sees minimal active daily population due to its age and focus shifting to its successor, Guild Wars 2. However, a small dedicated player base still remains active in this classic online RPG.
