Oort Online

Pony Town

Oort Online is the original title for what later became 'Boundless,' a sandbox MMO developed by Wonderstruck Games. As Boundless, the game launched in 2018 and has since maintained a niche community. However, its daily player base is quite small due to its age, limited marketing, and niche appeal. It still has elements of a persistent world and large-scale multiplayer, thus fitting the MMO definition, but its active player count in 2024 is likely under 200 per day.

Pony Town is a social sandbox game, launched in 2016, focused on creative interaction and customization rather than traditional progression. It has a dedicated but niche community, mostly sustained via word of mouth and social platforms. Its web- and mobile-based accessibility helps retention, but it remains a relatively small game by mainstream standards, with an estimated daily active user base of about 5,000.
