Caravan Stories

8BitMMO is a sandbox-style indie MMORPG that launched in 2015. While it is a persistent world with MMO elements, its indie status and age make it unlikely to have a large active playerbase today—most similar indie MMOs decline to a small but loyal community after 5+ years. The lack of major publisher support or recent updates further limits its reach. Estimated daily players likely in the low hundreds.

Caravan Stories is a fantasy MMORPG developed by Aiming, first released in 2017. As a cross-platform MMO with a modest but dedicated following—especially in Japan—the game has seen its Western PC and PS4 versions struggle to maintain growth. At over six years old, its player base is smaller than at launch, but it retains a low-to-moderate number of daily players, primarily on mobile. Estimated DAP reflects typical long-term Asian MMORPG retention.
