Lineage II Classic

VS

Roblox

Lineage II Classic is a reboot of the original Lineage II MMORPG, published by NCsoft. Though it launched in 2018 for nostalgia seekers and has a loyal hardcore following, its player base has declined significantly due to age and competition from modern MMORPGs. The game has a persistent world and supports large-scale interactions, meeting MMO criteria. Estimated daily players are modest but stable, reflecting its niche appeal and NCsoft's capability to retain a core audience.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
