Pony Town

RetroMMO is a small-scale indie fantasy MMORPG released in 2020. Although labeled as an MMO and offering a persistent world with multiplayer elements, the game's indie status and niche retro appeal limit its player base. After the initial launch, such games usually see reduced active population unless they gain significant cult following. An estimated 200–300 daily active players is in line with similarly sized indie MMOs several years after release.

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.
