Runes of Magic VS Pokémon Trading Card Game 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.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Online was a popular digital adaptation of the Pokémon TCG, released in 2011. The game maintained a modest but dedicated player base due to the Pokémon brand, but its daily active player count declined after the launch of Pokémon TCG Live (which replaced PTCGO starting in 2023). The original client is no longer actively supported, and most of the active player base has transitioned to Live. Estimated daily players on the old service are very low, possibly only a few thousand globally, but the Pokémon TCG franchise remains strong overall.
