Roblox

Legends of Aria is a sandbox MMORPG released in 2019 by Citadel Studios. Although it initially attracted a niche audience due to its Ultima Online-inspired mechanics, the player base has declined significantly over time, as is typical for indie MMOs without major publisher backing or frequent, large-scale updates. Its persistent online world still qualifies it as an MMO, but the daily player count is now quite low—likely in the hundreds.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
