御龙在天-平衡国战版

VS

Scum

御龙在天 (Yulong Zaitian) is a Chinese MMORPG focused on large-scale faction (nation) wars, popularized for its persistent world and PvP features. The '平衡国战版' (Balanced National War Edition) is a 2019 re-release or variant aiming to revitalize the player base. While past its peak, its niche and regional popularity, as well as the MMO format, allow it to retain a dedicated core of daily users, common for Chinese-market MMOs of this profile several years post-launch.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
