Odin: Valhalla Rising

Eve Online is a long-running, persistent-world MMORPG released in 2003. Despite its age, it retains a dedicated community due to its unique sandbox gameplay, player-driven economy, and continual updates by CCP Games. The daily active player count has declined from its peak but is still estimated to be around 20,000–30,000, with occasional peaks during major in-game events or wars.

Odin: Valhalla Rising is a mobile and PC MMORPG developed by Lionheart Studio and published by Kakao Games. It launched in 2021 and initially attracted significant attention in Korea and parts of Asia. As an MMORPG with cross-platform play, it benefits from the strong MMO market in those regions, but daily active players are likely lower outside of Asia. Given the game's age and the typical lifecycle for mobile MMORPGs, combined with Kakao's publishing power, a daily player count in the 60,000–70,000 range is plausible, with retention primarily in Korea and Taiwan.
