Blade & Soul is a fantasy MMORPG developed by NCsoft, released in 2012. It has seen a steady decline since its western launch peak, but retains a dedicated core in Korea and a smaller western audience. Supported by updates but considered past its prime. Major publisher and persistent world keep the player base stable, but numbers have dropped significantly from its peak.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Hero of Aethric has currently around 3k players daily.
"Hero of Aethric" is a mobile indie RPG released in late 2022 by Northern Forge Studios, the creators of "Orna: The GPS RPG". Given its indie status, niche market, and secondary following from Orna players, the game likely maintains a small but loyal audience. Mobile indie RPGs with some online elements typically see DAPs in the low thousands unless they achieve breakout success.
