Escape from Tarkov

Hordes.io is a browser-based fantasy MMO with open world and RPG elements. Despite its indie status, it maintains a small but dedicated community. The player base has declined from its peak, but active daily users are likely around 2,000–3,000 given recurring Reddit and Discord activity and the low barrier to entry. As a real-time multiplayer game with persistent world aspects, it qualifies as an MMO.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore survival shooter launched in 2017 that is developed and published by Battlestate Games. While the game saw significant popularity during its peak years and remains popular among hardcore shooter fans and streamers, its player base has gradually declined as the genre matured and competition increased, though major wipes and updates can temporarily spike player counts. It now maintains a steady, loyal daily base likely in the 40,000–80,000 range, averaging around 60,000 daily players based on industry trends and recent visibility.
