Star Wars: The Old Republic

Hero of Aethric: An Orna RPG is developed by Northern Forge Studios, the makers of Orna, which is a niche mobile location-based RPG. This game is an indie title with a small developer and targets a limited, but loyal, community, primarily on iOS and Android. Orna has never reached massive scale, and spin-offs or related projects like Hero of Aethric generally have a few thousand daily active players. There is no evidence or industry reporting suggesting large-scale growth beyond a niche RPG audience.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic MMORPG launched in 2011 by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Although it had a large player base at launch, the numbers have declined over the years, especially since it's now over a decade old and several expansions have come and gone. However, it still maintains a loyal core community thanks to regular content updates and the strength of the Star Wars IP. As an MMORPG, it does meet the MMO criteria with a persistent online world and the ability to interact with thousands of players simultaneously.
