Grand Chase

VS

The Elder Scrolls Online

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.

The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a major MMORPG developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda. Released in 2014, it has maintained a strong player base through regular major expansions and updates. Although its peak concurrent userbase was higher after launch and at key expansion drops, it remains one of the top MMORPGs with a healthy, active population across PC and consoles. Based on industry knowledge and typical MMO retention with major publisher support, a current estimate of 120,000 daily players is reasonable.
