APB Reloaded VS Ragnarok X: Next Generation

APB Reloaded is a third-person MMO shooter originally launched in 2010. While it had initial interest, its player base has seen a significant decline over the years due to aging, limited updates, and increased competition. It's still technically available on PC and consoles with a small but persistent community, estimated at around 1,500 daily active players based on its age, current activity reports, and Steam stats trends.

Ragnarok X: Next Generation is a mobile MMORPG released in 2021, leveraging the long-standing Ragnarok IP. While its initial launch saw very strong numbers, the game has experienced typical post-launch decline, with a decrease in Western interest but a still-active presence in Southeast Asia. As a mobile MMO, engagement is bolstered by daily events, but three years past release, a daily player count around 35,000 is likely, mostly from its most dedicated regions. The persistent world, large player hubs, and widespread multiplayer events qualify it as a true MMO.
