Ark: Survival Evolved

Ragnarok Online 2 launched in 2013 as a sequel to the classic Ragnarok Online MMO, but never matched its predecessor's popularity. Over a decade old and with limited ongoing marketing or updates from Gravity, its player base has declined significantly. Current activity is limited to niche or loyal communities, so daily players are estimated in the low hundreds.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
