Conquer Online

Coreborn is a new sandbox survival RPG from indie developer and publisher Blankhans, released in June 2024. As a recent indie release in a relatively niche genre and without a major publisher, it's likely seeing modest early activity as it builds its audience, especially if still in early access or without widespread marketing. The player base typically peaks at launch for these games but usually stays small unless breakout success occurs.

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.
