The Isle

Swords of Legends Online is an MMORPG released in 2018, developed by Wangyuan Shengtang and published in the West by Gameforge. While the game initially launched with some attention due to its Chinese fantasy theme and strong visuals, it struggled to maintain a Western audience, with reports of server merges and declining population within a few years. As of 2024, the player base is likely minimal, but dedicated fans may keep a few hundred daily active players remaining, particularly in Asian markets. Its lifecycle trends reflect a sharp drop after launch, typical of niche MMOs without major ongoing expansions or international momentum.

The Isle is a multiplayer dinosaur survival game released in 2015. Despite being from an indie developer, it maintains a dedicated community due to its unique premise and frequent updates. However, as an 8-year-old early access title, its active player base is much smaller than peak numbers but remains above many indie survival games thanks to niche appeal and ongoing development.
