Runes of Magic VS MU Online

Runes of Magic is an MMORPG released in 2009 by Runewaker Entertainment and published by Gameforge. Despite being over a decade old, it still has a niche following due to its free-to-play model and distinctive dual-class system. However, its player base has significantly declined over the years, with relatively low daily activity compared to leading MMORPGs. It primarily retains a few dedicated veterans and some returning players.

MU Online, launched in 2003 by Webzen, is one of the older MMORPGs that retains a modest but dedicated player base due to its legacy status, regular events, and a loyal following, especially in Asia and South America. Given its age (over 20 years) and limited exposure outside its core markets, the daily active players are estimated to be around 8,000. Its ongoing maintenance, continual updates, and private servers also contribute to a steady if reduced population.
