Nobunaga's Ambition Online: Chapter of Heaven

VS

Ark: Survival Evolved

Nobunaga's Ambition Online is a long-running Japanese MMORPG, launched in the early 2000s and periodically updated with new chapters. Its player base is niche and primarily Japanese, with a stable but small community. While not popular globally, its longevity and support by Koei Tecmo help retain several hundred to a few thousand daily players.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
