Age of Empires Online: Celeste Fan Project

Roblox

Age of Empires Online: Celeste Fan Project is a fan-run revival of the original Age of Empires Online, which was discontinued by Microsoft. As a community project launched in 2017, it maintains a niche but active RTS player base, mostly composed of dedicated fans. While not as popular as mainstream RTS games, its weekend activity peaks and ongoing support likely keep daily active players in the low thousands range. It is not run by major publishers but has support from a dedicated fan community.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
