Rose Online

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.

Rose Online is a classic anime-themed MMORPG that originally launched in the mid-2000s and was revived by Rednim Games and Gravity Interactive. The game had a niche but passionate community, but due to its age (over 10 years since the 2012 re-release) and lack of major recent updates or mainstream attention, the active daily player base is low, likely around 1,000–2,000. Still, as an old-school MMO, it maintains small, dedicated servers.
