Rift is a veteran MMORPG launched in 2011 by Trion Worlds. It had a strong start and maintained a dedicated player base, but it has seen significant decline over the years, especially after publisher changes and a lack of major content updates.

Black Desert Online is a 2015 MMORPG by Pearl Abyss known for its persistent world, large-scale multiplayer, and strong sandbox features. The game remains popular in Asia and maintains a moderate to strong player base worldwide, thanks to regular updates, cross-platform play, and a dedicated core audience. Its age means numbers are lower than its original peak but higher than many niche MMOs. Estimated daily active players is around 110,000.
