A3: Still Alive VS ArcheAge

A3: Still Alive is a mobile MMORPG published by Netmarble, released in late 2020. It combines action RPG and battle royale elements, benefiting initially from the publisher's large mobile audience. However, as a mobile MMO in its third year, player activity is likely in gradual decline. Industry trends for mobile MMOs suggest it retains a modest, but diminishing, daily player base leveraging recurring events and in-app purchases.

ArcheAge is a sandbox MMORPG released in 2013 and has had multiple publishers. While it enjoyed a strong launch and several relaunches (including ArcheAge Unchained), its population has declined considerably due to age, controversial monetization changes, and server merges. However, it retains a niche, loyal player base in both Korea and globally, typical for older MMOs run by major publishers. Current daily active players are likely in the low thousands.
