Star Wars: The Old Republic

Call of Dragons is a 2023-released cross-platform (mobile and PC) real-time strategy MMO by Farlight Games, the studio known for other successful live-service titles. The game is still fairly new and is well-promoted, benefitting from the popularity of the fantasy RTS genre on mobile platforms, which typically sustain large active playerbases in the first years. Its persistent world and strategy MMO design (similar to Rise of Kingdoms) support high daily engagement. However, competition and genre norms (mobile RTS/MMO) suggest a gradual decline after the first year, so a conservative estimate is around 300,000 daily active players currently.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic MMORPG launched in 2011 by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Although it had a large player base at launch, the numbers have declined over the years, especially since it's now over a decade old and several expansions have come and gone. However, it still maintains a loyal core community thanks to regular content updates and the strength of the Star Wars IP. As an MMORPG, it does meet the MMO criteria with a persistent online world and the ability to interact with thousands of players simultaneously.
