Curse of Aros

VS

Sphere 3

Curse of Aros is a mobile open-world RPG with persistent multiplayer elements, primarily popular in niche communities. While not a top-chart MMORPG, it maintains an active, dedicated player base, especially appealing to fans of old-school grind-heavy MMORPGs. Given its age (released in 2019) and sustained activity on platforms like Reddit, a conservative estimate is around 5,000–10,000 daily actives, so 6,000 is reasonable.

Sphere 3 is a follow-up to Sphere, an early-2000s Russian MMORPG. Released in 2015, it saw limited Western popularity but retained a cult following in Eastern Europe. MMORPGs like this, especially those with niche communities and no major global publisher, tend to decline heavily after 5+ years. Given its age, lack of updates, and relatively small initial audience, it's likely the game currently sees around 200 daily active players globally.
