Moonlight Blade Mobile

World of Warcraft Classic

Moonlight Blade Mobile is a mobile MMORPG developed by Tencent Aurora Studios and published by major publishers Level Infinite and Garena. Released in late 2020, it has maintained a considerable player base in East and Southeast Asian markets, particularly due to its strong IP and ongoing updates. Its persistent open world and social elements classify it as an MMO. Mobile MMOs in this region often sustain over 100,000 daily active players several years post-launch, particularly when backed by Tencent.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
