This is probably accurate unless you count the Odyssey.

Those aren't using official servers. Sega closed the official PSO servers long, long ago. The servers used to run the DC, GCN, and Xbox versions now are the same hacked servers that run the pc version, Blue Burst.

Yes, there was a private server for that, had a weird name. Never tried it on the DC but their PC community was quite nice.

Holy fuck.
Neither of those are on console though. FFXI PS2 edition is still going.
In the end it doesn't matter though, as SEGA seems to have FFXI beat anyway.

Sega seems the best at this, I played Phantasy Star Portable 2 online the other day and it fired up just fine.

I think in terms of official severs, Quake III DC probably wins. Starlancer was running on official severs until recently when GameSpy closed.
On PC I can understand how, but how can the Dreamcast and other console systems change the connection addresses? It's not like you can open up program files.

Maybe I overlooked a mention in this thread, but are any PS2 games still online?
You can still play resident evil outbreak online.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Goldeneye Wii(2010) is still online and pretty active at times way pass the Nintendo Wifi Shutdown. Been playing it online through Dolphin and a Wii U these last couple days after I finally set it up(https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/wii-network-guide/).
Black Ops and MW3 are also pretty active on Wii along with the Conduit 2.

If OG Xbox Live was still alive I guarantee that Halo 2, Counter-Strike, and probably even Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Chaos Theory would have active, dedicated communities.
Shadowrun (2007) still chugging along on 360 is impressive, not a big playerbase, but enough active, dedicated players to provide a game at nearly any time of day.

Halo 2 Vista came out 3 years later (8 years ago) and there are still 40 people on at every moment. I know a lot of their gamertags by heart.
I also have around 6000 hours of gameplay on Halo 2. I'm playing today. After it camd out me and my brother played it for 6 hours everyday for 3 years.
