Ark: Survival Evolved

OGame is a long-running browser-based space strategy MMO from Gameforge, released in 2002. Its peak popularity has passed, but it still maintains a dedicated niche community due to regular updates and the persistent, competitive universe mechanics. Despite its age, the game holds onto a core player base familiar with browser MMOs. Most players come from Europe and Latin America. A daily active player count in the 10,000–20,000 range is a reasonable estimate considering its longevity and niche status.

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.
