Star Wars: The Old Republic

Cluster is a Japanese-developed social VR/metaverse platform that has been steadily growing, especially in Japan. While not as globally popular as VRChat, it hosts regular events, boasts cross-platform support, and targets the growing social simulation/metaverse niche. Player engagement is concentrated in Japan and East Asia, with daily active users estimated between 5,000 and 15,000. The platform supports persistent worlds and large multiplayer events, although it's not as ubiquitous as its larger VR/metaverse peers.

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.
