Unturned

Continent of the Ninth Seal (C9) is a fantasy action MMORPG released in 2012 by Webzen. While it saw moderate popularity at launch thanks to its fast-paced combat and established publisher, its active player base has declined significantly over the years, especially with little recent marketing or major expansions. As a decade-old MMO, it now likely maintains a small dedicated community, mostly in niche regions, with DAP estimated around 500.

Unturned is a free-to-play zombie survival game that launched in 2017 and is well known for its indie origins and dedicated fanbase. Despite its age, it maintains a moderate playerbase because of its accessible gameplay, mod support, and frequent updates from the developer. On Steam, it typically sees several thousand concurrent players daily, making a 30,000 daily active player estimate reasonable when accounting for total logins across all platforms. However, it does not meet MMO criteria: most servers support dozens of players, not hundreds or thousands in a persistent world.
