Maybe there is some opportunity there? Very little going on in the mmo world now tbh. Wow, old school runescape, final fantasy online, not much else worth it.

What about

- Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR),

- The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO),

- Guild Wars 2 (GW2),

- EVE Online,

- Black Desert?

All of them (except Eve) feel too much like WoW reskins to bother with. This is personal opinion but the feeling probably reflects why they have 1% (estimated by ChatGPT) of WoW’s subscriptions.

I'm enjoying GW2 a lot, I feel it has a lot of players. No matter which corner of the map you go to, you can always find people doing either open world group content or their own thing

Eve is more of an Excel reskin.

This game was created before virtual currency and pay to win was a thing. The potential money is probably too corrupting.
