PlanetSide 2

Conquer Online is a classic MMORPG launched in 2004 by TQ Digital (NetDragon). It was popular in its prime, especially in China and niche overseas communities, but it is now nearly 20 years old. While still supported and with a loyal core user base, most legacy MMORPGs in this age bracket have sharply diminished player counts, predominantly under 20,000 daily actives, unless there have been major relaunches or nostalgia-driven revivals. No such significant relaunch is noted, so a conservative estimate is around 10,000 daily active players.

PlanetSide 2 is a large-scale MMOFPS released in 2012 by Daybreak Game Company. Its unique, persistent world and battles with hundreds of players make it a niche but enduring title. Active support and a tight community keep player numbers modest but steady, especially considering its age. Estimates put daily active players in the low thousands, largely split across a few servers.
