Pokémon Trading Card Game Online

Final Fantasy XIV Online

Pokémon Trading Card Game Online was a popular digital adaptation of the Pokémon TCG, released in 2011. The game maintained a modest but dedicated player base due to the Pokémon brand, but its daily active player count declined after the launch of Pokémon TCG Live (which replaced PTCGO starting in 2023). The original client is no longer actively supported, and most of the active player base has transitioned to Live. Estimated daily players on the old service are very low, possibly only a few thousand globally, but the Pokémon TCG franchise remains strong overall.

Final Fantasy XIV Online is a major MMORPG by Square Enix with a long history and consistent expansion support. Despite launching in 2013, the game remains one of the most popular subscription-based MMOs thanks to regular updates, acclaimed expansions, and a strong community. Its daily player counts are among the highest in the genre, supported by official communication and player activity statistics, especially around patch cycles.
