Scum

Nevergrind Online is a small-scale indie multiplayer RPG released in 2022 by Neverworks Games. Despite its persistent online features and party-based co-op gameplay, it has limited visibility and niche appeal, which is typical for indie MMOs without major publisher support—especially two years post-launch. It likely maintains a small but dedicated community of a few hundred daily players.

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.
