New World: Aeternum

Pox Nora is a tactical turn-based strategy game originally released in 2004 by Sony Online Entertainment and later maintained by Desert Owl Games. Although it had a niche but loyal fanbase, the game's age (over 19 years old) and lack of major recent updates suggest a very small, dedicated player base remains. Board/strategy games online of this era typically have very low activity unless continuously supported by expansions or eSports scenes, which is not the case for Pox Nora.

New World: Aeternum is a rebrand/update of the MMORPG "New World" by Amazon Games, originally launched in September 2021. The game had a massive launch but experienced significant population decline within a year. However, ongoing updates, server merges, and the promise of console support with "Aeternum" have kept a modest but stable audience. As a well-supported MMORPG from a major publisher, it likely retains around 30,000 daily players currently, somewhat revitalized by new expansions and relaunch communications.
