The Lord of the Rings Online: Mithril Edition

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.

Township is a long-running free-to-play town-building simulator, first released in 2013, developed by Playrix. While past its peak, the game remains popular, especially on mobile (iOS/Android), due to frequent updates and a loyal casual gaming audience. Playrix's strong marketing and retention strategies keep the game active, with estimates typically ranging between 100,000 and 200,000 daily active players globally.
