Block Story

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.

Block Story is an indie sandbox RPG released in 2015, somewhat inspired by Minecraft but with RPG and adventure elements. Its initial popularity has significantly declined over the years due to its age, lack of major developer presence, and limited mainstream attention. As an older indie title with mainly single-player or small-scale multiplayer features, it now likely retains a very small, dedicated player base across platforms.
