A Tale in the Desert is a niche, long-running sandbox MMO that launched in 2003. The game is known for its unique social and crafting-driven systems, but its player base has always been small compared to mainstream MMORPGs.

"Multi-Users in Middle-earth" (MUME) is a classic text-based MUD inspired by Tolkien's works, launched in 1992. As an aging, niche online RPG, it retains a small but extremely dedicated playerbase, consistent with many legacy MUDs. Community activity is minimal by modern standards, with perhaps a few dozen players online at peak times. Its persistent world and multi-user design do meet the MMO criteria.
