Aether Story

World of Tanks

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.

World of Tanks is a well-known online multiplayer vehicular combat game released in 2011 by Wargaming. It's supported by regular updates and retains a loyal audience, especially in Eastern Europe and CIS regions. Although its player base has declined from its peak, it remains very active for a game its age. Estimated daily active players are around 150,000 globally, factoring in multiple platforms.
