Aether Story VS Aberoth

Aether Story is an indie fantasy RPG in development by Phanxgames LLC, described as a multiplayer online RPG. It has limited recognition and marketing, and likely a small, tightly-knit community. As an indie game, especially without any major release or expansion, its daily active players are likely quite low—likely under 500. The game's persistent world and focus on a multiplayer online experience suggest it does meet basic MMO criteria, though on a small scale.

Aberoth is a small indie online RPG released in 2015 and is somewhat niche, with a retro, pixel-art style and persistent world. While it features MMO elements, its player base has always been modest and activity has declined over time. Based on its longevity and current web presence (including its subreddit), it likely has around 100-300 daily players as of 2024.
