Onmyoji VS Blade & Soul

Onmyoji is a turn-based strategy RPG developed by NetEase Games, launched globally in 2018. Although it was very popular during its first couple of years, its player base has declined but remained stable due to ongoing updates, events, and NetEase's strong support in Asian markets. As a mobile-centric RPG with gacha elements, it retains some loyal daily players, especially in China and among global fans. However, it is not a traditional MMO as it lacks a persistent shared world with massive simultaneous player interactions, so it does not meet strict MMO criteria.

Blade & Soul, developed by NCsoft, is a fantasy MMORPG released in 2012. It attracted a large audience at launch, especially in Korea and its Western release in 2016. Player numbers have declined with age, but it still receives updates and retains a niche, loyal user base typical for older NCsoft MMOs. Estimated daily active players are in the 10,000–20,000 range, with 15,000 as a conservative midpoint.
