Blade & Soul

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.

Blade & Soul is a fantasy MMORPG developed by NCsoft, released in 2012. It has seen a steady decline since its western launch peak, but retains a dedicated core in Korea and a smaller western audience. Supported by updates but considered past its prime. Major publisher and persistent world keep the player base stable, but numbers have dropped significantly from its peak.
