Ingress

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.

Ingress is a location-based augmented reality game developed by Niantic and initially published with support from Google in 2013. Although it was popular at launch and influenced later Niantic games like Pokémon GO, its user base has declined over the years. However, it still maintains a niche, dedicated player community. Given its age and the presence of ongoing events, current daily active players are likely in the 20,000–40,000 range.
