Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds

VS

Enlisted: Reinforced

Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds is a pioneering classic MMORPG that launched in 1996. It still maintains a small but dedicated player base due to its niche appeal and historical significance, but as a nearly three-decade-old game without major modern relaunches, its current daily player count is very low—likely in the low hundreds, mostly longtime fans. It is clearly an MMO by design, featuring a persistent world and large-scale multiplayer interactions.

Enlisted: Reinforced is a relaunch/major update to 'Enlisted,' a squad-based WW2 shooter by Darkflow Software, historically published by Gaijin Entertainment. The core game has maintained a modest but dedicated playerbase, buoyed by frequent updates and free-to-play access. The 'Reinforced' update/launch (mid-2024) likely gives a boost, especially in its initial weeks, but third-party stats and genre trends suggest daily active players around 40,000–50,000, down from its peak surges. Not a traditional MMO (lobby-based large matches rather than persistent world).
