Infestation: The New Beginning

ArcheAge is a well-known sandbox MMORPG launched in 2013. While it initially drew strong interest due to its open world and sandbox systems, its player base has shrunk over the years, in part due to controversial monetization decisions and competition. Recent trends and community figures suggest the game retains a loyal but relatively small population, with most activity centered in a few regions. It is clearly an MMO based on its persistent world and large-scale multiplayer interaction.

"Infestation: The New Beginning" is a rebranding and continuation of the original "Infestation: Survivor Stories" (formerly known as "The War Z"), which launched in 2012. As a survival sandbox shooter with open-world elements, its player base has declined over the years due to age, competition, and a mixed reputation. However, the game maintains a small, dedicated following, typical for niche survival MMOs this old.
