Hordes.io

A3: Still Alive is a mobile MMORPG published by Netmarble, released in late 2020. It combines action RPG and battle royale elements, benefiting initially from the publisher's large mobile audience. However, as a mobile MMO in its third year, player activity is likely in gradual decline. Industry trends for mobile MMOs suggest it retains a modest, but diminishing, daily player base leveraging recurring events and in-app purchases.

Hordes.io is a browser-based fantasy MMO with open world and RPG elements. Despite its indie status, it maintains a small but dedicated community. The player base has declined from its peak, but active daily users are likely around 2,000–3,000 given recurring Reddit and Discord activity and the low barrier to entry. As a real-time multiplayer game with persistent world aspects, it qualifies as an MMO.
