Kakele Online: MMORPG

VS

Scum

Kakele Online is a small indie fantasy MMORPG released in 2020. It has had steady growth and engagement among nostalgic players, especially on mobile and PC, but overall audience remains niche due to low marketing and indie scale. Its MMO status is confirmed given persistent worlds and social systems, but the daily active player count is estimated to be around 500–1000 based on community activity and social media engagement typical for indie MMOs of this type and age.

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.
