Ark: Survival Evolved

4Story Online, released in 2008, is a fantasy MMORPG developed by Zemi Interactive and published by Gameforge. As an older free-to-play MMO, its player base has significantly declined from its peak, but it still maintains a small dedicated community, especially in Europe. The niche status and age of the game suggest low daily activity, typical of legacy MMOs still online after over a decade, likely under 1,000 daily players.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
