Aranock Online

Bit Hotel

Aranock Online is a niche indie fantasy RPG, first released in 2013 as a spiritual successor to the classic game 'Astonia III.' The absence of major publishers, limited social presence, and the game's age suggest a very small, dedicated playerbase—typically fewer than a few dozen daily active users. Its persistent world does qualify it as an MMO, though it is extremely niche.

Bit Hotel is a relatively recent (2022) indie RPG-style social simulation game with blockchain and NFT elements, targeting a niche audience. While it had some early hype, interest in NFT/blockchain games has declined sharply in the broader market, and current player counts for such games tend to be low unless supported by major partnerships or a strong community. The lack of notable publishers/developers also suggests a modest, niche playerbase.
