Swords of Legends Online

Scum

Swords of Legends Online is a Chinese MMORPG launched internationally in 2021 by Gameforge. The game saw a strong but brief launch, followed by a rapid player decline, which is typical for niche MMORPGs without major Western presence or ongoing expansion content. Most Western servers have shut down by now, indicating a very low remaining active global player base.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
