The Lord of the Rings Online: Mithril Edition

VS

Goblin Slayer: Endless Hunting

The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) was originally released in 2007 and is a well-known MMORPG with a persistent world set in Tolkien's Middle-earth. The "Mithril Edition" is a specific edition released later, but the player base is not separated from the main game. While the game is over a decade old, it still has a small but loyal player base, supported by ongoing content updates. As of 2024, it's reasonable to estimate around 10,000 daily active players.

Goblin Slayer: Endless Hunting is a browser-based RPG/strategy title released in late 2022. It is based on the Goblin Slayer anime IP and published by G123, known for multiple lightweight web games. Such games tend to attract a niche but steady audience, but rarely reach the scale of mainstream or classic MMOs. Its presence is mostly within anime/game crossplay circles, and it's not widely discussed outside of that.
