Myth of Empires

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.

Myth of Empires is a multiplayer sandbox survival game launched in late 2021. While it initially gained attention for its large persistent open worlds and base building features, it faced legal and server challenges that reduced its user base after launch. As of 2024, it retains a niche but active community, especially after returning to Steam, but is well past its peak. MMO elements are present with persistent worlds and large player interactions.
