Old School RuneScape

Ragnarok X: Next Generation is a mobile MMORPG released in 2021, leveraging the long-standing Ragnarok IP. While its initial launch saw very strong numbers, the game has experienced typical post-launch decline, with a decrease in Western interest but a still-active presence in Southeast Asia. As a mobile MMO, engagement is bolstered by daily events, but three years past release, a daily player count around 35,000 is likely, mostly from its most dedicated regions. The persistent world, large player hubs, and widespread multiplayer events qualify it as a true MMO.

Old School RuneScape is a well-established MMORPG developed and published by Jagex, released in 2013 as a retro version of the original RuneScape. The game benefits from strong brand recognition, ongoing updates, and mobile accessibility, which help sustain an active player base over a decade after launch. Industry knowledge and recent data suggest a daily active player count typically in the 50,000–100,000 range, with spikes during major updates or events.
