Ark: Survival Evolved

Rage:MP is a multiplayer modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V, allowing the creation and play of custom servers. While it enables large persistent worlds reminiscent of MMO environments, the game itself serves as a platform for such content rather than operating as an MMO in the traditional sense. Daily activity fluctuates; as of 2024, the player base is stable but niche, mostly centered around roleplay servers, which can attract thousands at peak times, but the overall daily active user base is modest compared to mainstream MMOs or GTA Online itself.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
