MU Legend

VS

Scum

MU Legend is an MMORPG by Webzen, released in 2017. While it launched as a successor to MU Online and attracted some initial attention, the player base has declined significantly over the years due to lack of major updates, competition, and reduced marketing. Based on its age, industry trend, and current low activity online, an estimated 1,000–2,000 daily active players is reasonable.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
