ArcheAge: Unchained

VS

Roblox

ArcheAge: Unchained launched in 2019 as a buy-to-play version of ArcheAge with a new monetization model. The original ArcheAge was a popular MMORPG but has declined significantly over time, and Unchained itself has suffered from population drops and controversy over changes. Trion Worlds and Gamigo are reputable but have limited reach. As a relatively niche MMORPG, likely has a small but dedicated base, estimating a few thousand daily players as of 2024.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
