The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

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.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
