Ark: Survival Evolved

Embrace the Three Kingdoms / 胸怀三国 RPG, released in 2019, is a niche strategy RPG published by VALOFE, known for running several service-oriented online games that typically retain small but stable player bases several years after launch. As a non-AAA title without major Western presence and with a theme appealing mainly to strategy fans in Asia, its daily active player count is likely modest, estimated at around 2,000. It does not meet traditional MMO criteria, as it is strategy RPG rather than a persistent-world massively multiplayer title.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
