Myth of Soma

VS

Roblox

Myth of Soma is a classic 2D MMORPG first released in the early 2000s. It had a cult following in the UK and Asia, but the official servers have long shut down. Some private servers remain, typically maintained by small fan communities, leading to low but stable activity (dozens to a few hundred daily players).

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.
