The Lord of the Rings Online: Mithril Edition

VS

PlanetSide 2

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.

PlanetSide 2 is a large-scale MMOFPS released in 2012 by Daybreak Game Company. The game is notable for its massive battles involving hundreds of players in a persistent open world. While its player base has declined since launch, it retains a dedicated niche community, especially on PC. Based on its age, genre, and recent visibility in gaming forums, current daily active players are likely around 8,000 across platforms.
