Ragnarok M: Eternal Love

Sphere 3 is a follow-up to Sphere, an early-2000s Russian MMORPG. Released in 2015, it saw limited Western popularity but retained a cult following in Eastern Europe. MMORPGs like this, especially those with niche communities and no major global publisher, tend to decline heavily after 5+ years. Given its age, lack of updates, and relatively small initial audience, it's likely the game currently sees around 200 daily active players globally.

Ragnarok M: Eternal Love is a well-known mobile MMORPG based on the classic Ragnarok Online IP. Released in 2019 and still supported, it has experienced declining player base since its peak, but continues to attract a loyal user base, especially in Asia. As a persistent, open-world MMORPG from a major IP, it remains relevant, but has fallen from its launch-day highs.
