Ragnarok Re:Start

VS

Last Epoch

Ragnarok Re:Start is a relaunch of the classic Ragnarok Online as a progression server, released in 2017 by Gravity Interactive. While the parent franchise was extremely popular, Re:Start has been largely surpassed by other official servers and mobile spinoffs, and niche progression servers tend to see sharp player drop-off after the initial years unless they're heavily supported or relaunched. Given its age, lack of recent high-profile updates, and industry trends, active daily players are likely very low.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
