La Tale

Warface

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.

Warface is a free-to-play online first-person shooter released in 2013, with backing from major publishers like Tencent and Trion Worlds. Its longevity is supported by frequent updates, a strong Russian/Eastern European player base, and availability across multiple platforms (console and PC). However, it has seen gradual global population decline outside CIS regions, affecting active player numbers. It is not a full-scale MMO, as it's room-based rather than persistent world.
