The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

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.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
