Kakele Online: MMORPG

8BitMMO is a persistent-world indie MMO first released in 2015, focused on building and sandbox multiplayer gameplay. As a niche, indie title that is nearly a decade old, it has a much smaller active community compared to its launch, but may still retain a dedicated base of dozens to a few hundred daily players.

Kakele Online: MMORPG is a small indie fantasy MMORPG released in 2020. It has a persistent world and open world features, but is developed by a lesser-known studio without backing from a major publisher. Indie MMORPGs typically maintain small, niche communities after launch. Activity on its social media suggests a core community but not mass-market appeal, so a conservative estimate is a few thousand daily players.
