EverQuest II

VS

Tower of Fantasy

EverQuest II is a classic MMORPG released in 2004 by Daybreak Game Company. While its player base is much smaller than at launch, it retains a niche, loyal following thanks to regular expansions and ongoing updates. As one of the older MMOs still operational, daily active players are estimated to be in the low thousands, with population boosts during major events or new expansion launches.

Tower of Fantasy is a cross-platform open-world RPG released in late 2021 and published by Level Infinite (a Tencent brand), with significant investments in global marketing. Initially popular as a "Genshin Impact competitor," its player base peaked in its first year, but has since declined. It remains moderately active thanks to regular updates and events, especially in Asian markets. Given its age (over 2 years) and the usual drop-off for live-service MMOs, a conservative estimate is in the 50,000–100,000 DAP range globally.
