Swords of Legends Online

9Dragons is an older MMORPG originally launched in the mid-2000s, with the current RedFox Games version released in 2017. Although never a massive hit in the West, it retains a small but dedicated niche community due to its unique martial arts setting. Given the game's age and niche appeal, current daily player counts are low but likely stable among loyal fans.

Swords of Legends Online is an MMORPG released in 2018, developed by Wangyuan Shengtang and published in the West by Gameforge. While the game initially launched with some attention due to its Chinese fantasy theme and strong visuals, it struggled to maintain a Western audience, with reports of server merges and declining population within a few years. As of 2024, the player base is likely minimal, but dedicated fans may keep a few hundred daily active players remaining, particularly in Asian markets. Its lifecycle trends reflect a sharp drop after launch, typical of niche MMOs without major ongoing expansions or international momentum.
