Chronicles of Arcadia

VS

Roblox

Chronicles of Arcadia is a little-known MMORPG that originated as a continuation or private server for the older game, Runes of Magic. The game is niche, with a small but stable community, and being almost a decade old without backing from a major publisher, it likely only retains several hundred regular daily players.

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.
