Palworld

War of Conquest is a small-scale indie strategy game first released in 2018 as a revival of an earlier browser MMO concept. As an indie title with niche appeal, limited marketing, and an aging release date, its daily player base is likely very small—probably in the low hundreds. The game's activity is further limited by the lack of wide platform release or major publisher support. However, it does have MMO elements such as a persistent world and large-scale competition between player groups.

Palworld is a survival/adventure sandbox game released in January 2024 by Pocketpair. It experienced an explosive launch with millions of sales and high concurrent player counts on PC. Since launch, player counts have declined from their peak but remain strong for a new multiplayer survival game, thanks to active updates and ongoing community engagement. It's not an MMO, as servers are typically limited to smaller group sizes and don't feature a true persistent, massively multiplayer world.
