PlanetSide 2

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.

PlanetSide 2 is a large-scale MMOFPS released in 2012 by Daybreak Game Company. Its unique, persistent world and battles with hundreds of players make it a niche but enduring title. Active support and a tight community keep player numbers modest but steady, especially considering its age. Estimates put daily active players in the low thousands, largely split across a few servers.
