Star Wars: The Old Republic

Mad World: Age of Darkness is a browser-based action MMORPG developed by Jandisoft, released in 2023. Despite its unique hand-drawn art style and persistent world, it has a niche appeal and limited marketing reach compared to major AAA MMO releases, and no evidence suggests a breakout hit. Over a year post-launch, active daily players are likely in the low thousands, supported by a small but dedicated fanbase.

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.
