Record of Lodoss War Online

VS

Artifact

Record of Lodoss War Online is an MMORPG released in late 2016 by L&K Logic Korea. Though based on a well-known IP, the game has struggled to retain significant player numbers outside of its initial release, particularly in the West and even in Korea. The game shows signs of low population and minimal ongoing support, typical of older, niche MMOs from smaller publishers. Estimated daily active players are likely quite low—around 100, mostly diehard fans or those on private servers.

Artifact, developed and published by Valve, launched in 2018 as a digital collectible card game. Despite Valve's reputation, the game quickly lost players due to its controversial monetization and gameplay reception, and official updates largely ceased. The player base is now extremely low, with only a handful of daily matches played as of recent years.
