Star Wars: The Old Republic

Throne and Liberty is a high-profile MMORPG released in December 2023 by NCsoft (a well-known MMO developer) and Amazon Games. Despite substantial pre-launch hype, launch interest was somewhat tempered by mixed reviews and typical new MMO volatility. However, as a new AAA MMO with cross-platform play and heavy marketing, it currently retains a sizable daily playerbase, likely around 120,000–180,000 DAP, so a conservative estimate is 150,000. Player engagement will likely diminish over the next year without substantial content updates.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic MMORPG launched in 2011 by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Although it had a large player base at launch, the numbers have declined over the years, especially since it's now over a decade old and several expansions have come and gone. However, it still maintains a loyal core community thanks to regular content updates and the strength of the Star Wars IP. As an MMORPG, it does meet the MMO criteria with a persistent online world and the ability to interact with thousands of players simultaneously.
