Ark: Survival Evolved

Perfect World International is a classic fantasy MMORPG released in 2008. It saw significant popularity in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but its player base has declined over time due to age and competition from newer titles. It is still supported and has a loyal niche community, but no longer commands large player counts expected of peak MMOs. An estimate of about 6,500 daily players is reasonable for an older, legacy MMORPG that retains a dedicated but small fanbase.

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.
