Final Fantasy XIV Online

PlaneShift is a persistent-world indie MMORPG first released in 2002. While it once had a small but dedicated community, it never gained mainstream popularity and has seen very minimal publicity or growth in recent years. Given the game's age, niche status, and limited development resources, its current daily active player base is likely very low—estimated at around 100 or fewer.

Final Fantasy XIV Online is a major Square Enix MMORPG, originally released in 2013 but relaunched as "A Realm Reborn." It remains one of the top three global MMOs, consistently receiving major expansions and significant updates, keeping its player base very healthy even over a decade in. Estimated at around 200,000–250,000 daily active players based on recent expansion launches, ongoing events, and visible community activity.
