Holdfast: Nations At War

Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds is a pioneering classic MMORPG that launched in 1996. It still maintains a small but dedicated player base due to its niche appeal and historical significance, but as a nearly three-decade-old game without major modern relaunches, its current daily player count is very low—likely in the low hundreds, mostly longtime fans. It is clearly an MMO by design, featuring a persistent world and large-scale multiplayer interactions.

Holdfast: Nations At War is a historical multiplayer shooter with large-scale battles, released in 2020. It's a niche indie title with a dedicated but relatively small community, typically attracting a couple thousand daily players now, four years after launch. The game supports large matches but does not meet the scale of a persistent MMO world.
