Entropia Universe

AdventureQuest 3D is a cross-platform MMORPG launched in 2016 by Artix Entertainment. While it started with a solid player base thanks to the nostalgia and success of the AdventureQuest brand, Artix is a small indie studio with a niche audience. Eight years post-launch, active player numbers have declined, but the game's persistent updates keep a modest, loyal community engaged. The game is niche but still fits classic MMO criteria with its persistent world and multiplayer elements.

Entropia Universe is a unique, persistent-world MMO launched in 2003, famous for its real-cash economy. Although it has a niche audience and is over 20 years old, it maintains a small but dedicated player base due to its distinctive gameplay and ecosystem. Player activity has significantly declined from its early years, but its MMO structure keeps it slightly above many other legacy titles.
