Arctic, at the peak of its popularity, was doing daily ranges of 120 - 200.
Impressive but not a record-breaker.

Not real familiar with this one, but the three or so times I have logged
on over the years I've never seen more than 100.

Sojourn, before it split, had a solid 300 - 400 players on all the time.
I would say that it holds the record for non-profit muds, however that
popularity was somewhat short-lived (mostly due to the split, I'd say).
If Lambda has managed to maintain three-digit numbers for many years, then
I'd say that's more impressive than any "records". Arctic is strong in
that category as well, although it has faded - these days I think it
hangs out between 80 - 120 players, and certainly doesn't hit the 200
that it used to.
