Scum

Bit Heroes is a 2016 retro-style RPG published by Kongregate and available on multiple platforms. While not a mainstream success, it maintains a dedicated niche audience due to its continuous updates and mobile appeal. As a midlife F2P online RPG, it's likely to have a modest but stable daily active user base in the low five figures. However, its core gameplay does not support a true persistent, large-scale world with hundreds interacting live, so it is not a traditional MMO.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
