Dragonheir: Silent Gods

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.

Dragonheir: Silent Gods is a cross-platform adventure and RPG published by Nuverse, released in September 2023. As a recent release by a notable publisher, it likely retains a moderate player base, but is not a massive mainstream hit. The game's presence on multiple platforms and active social engagement further support a fair active community. However, it does not demonstrate the persistent, large-scale multiplayer features of a true MMO.
