Last year, Old School RuneScape broke its own records for concurrent players, with over 157,000 players online at one time. That’s thanks mainly to its Leagues - short-term competitive events for which players have to create new characters to compete in specific challenges.

RuneScape itself (New School RuneScape?) launched on Steam last year and has a modest audience. It’ll be interesting to see how Old School compares.
