Tower of Fantasy

Rose Online is a classic anime-themed MMORPG that originally launched in the mid-2000s and was revived by Rednim Games and Gravity Interactive. The game had a niche but passionate community, but due to its age (over 10 years since the 2012 re-release) and lack of major recent updates or mainstream attention, the active daily player base is low, likely around 1,000–2,000. Still, as an old-school MMO, it maintains small, dedicated servers.

Tower of Fantasy is a cross-platform open-world RPG released in late 2021 and published by Level Infinite (a Tencent brand), with significant investments in global marketing. Initially popular as a "Genshin Impact competitor," its player base peaked in its first year, but has since declined. It remains moderately active thanks to regular updates and events, especially in Asian markets. Given its age (over 2 years) and the usual drop-off for live-service MMOs, a conservative estimate is in the 50,000–100,000 DAP range globally.
