Coreborn VS Elsword

Coreborn is a relatively new indie survival sandbox RPG released in mid-2023 by Blankhans. As an indie multiplayer title with survival and sandbox elements, it's likely to have a small but dedicated player base, especially outside of a major studio's network and limited to PC. Such games typically average a few hundred daily active players unless they achieve a breakout hit status, which industry knowledge and online signals suggest Coreborn has not. Its multiplayer focus does not necessarily make it a true MMO.

Elsword is a long-running online action MMORPG developed by KOG Studios and published by Nexon. While its Japanese Steam release was in 2019, the game itself has been available globally since 2007–2008. Player numbers have declined from their peak, but the game retains a modest, loyal base due to frequent updates, anime art style, and strong publisher support. Estimated DAP reflects its niche but persistent standing in the legacy MMO space.
