Star Wars: The Old Republic

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.

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.
