Grand Chase

Drakensang Online launched in 2011 as a free-to-play action RPG/MMO from Bigpoint, at its peak boasting a strong player base mainly in Europe. More than a decade later, it retains a small but consistent niche audience. As a browser-based MMO, its population has steadily declined, especially with increased competition and aging tech, but its structure and legacy support some daily player activity.

Grand Chase is a well-known side-scrolling action MMORPG originally developed by KOG Studios. Although the classic PC version was shut down in most regions years ago, the mobile relaunch (Grand Chase: Dimensional Chaser) and a Steam version have seen some limited success since 2017. Due to its age, niche appeal, and relatively modest marketing outside its core market (primarily Southeast Asia and Latin America), I estimate its daily active player base to be low thousands. The game does have persistent multiplayer elements and instanced co-op/competitive modes, qualifying as an MMO.
