Perfect World VS ArcheAge

Perfect World is a well-known MMORPG released in 2005 by Beijing Perfect World. While it was very popular in its early years, especially in Asia, its player base has declined significantly due to its age (almost 20 years old) and lack of major global resurgence. However, it still maintains a small dedicated community and some regional popularity, so the daily active players are likely in the low thousands.

ArcheAge is a sandbox MMORPG released in 2013 and has had multiple publishers. While it enjoyed a strong launch and several relaunches (including ArcheAge Unchained), its population has declined considerably due to age, controversial monetization changes, and server merges. However, it retains a niche, loyal player base in both Korea and globally, typical for older MMOs run by major publishers. Current daily active players are likely in the low thousands.
