La Tale

Neverwinter

La Tale is a 2D side-scrolling fantasy MMORPG originally released in the mid-2000s in Korea and published in Western markets in 2014. It has maintained a small but steady niche player base over the years, mostly due to its unique art style and loyal community. However, as a relatively old game from a smaller publisher (Papaya Play), active daily players are likely now well below 1,000, consistent with the trajectory of similarly aged niche MMOs without major recent relaunches or expansions.

Neverwinter is a free-to-play MMORPG developed by Cryptic Studios and released in 2013. While it saw significant popularity after launch, like most MMOs of this age, active player numbers have declined but remain steady due to regular updates and solid support from its publisher, Perfect World. Its cross-platform presence helps retain a dedicated player base, but as a decade-old game, it's past its peak.
