World of Warcraft Classic

R2 Online: Reign of Revolution was developed and published by Webzen, an established South Korean MMO publisher, and originally launched in the late 2000s. As an older Korean MMORPG targeting mostly the South Korean market, it's well past its initial peak and sustains a small but stable, loyal base on its home servers. Limited Western exposure and age suggest current daily active players are in the low thousands.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
