RIFT: Starfall Prophecy

Roblox

RIFT: Starfall Prophecy is an expansion for the MMORPG RIFT, developed by Trion Worlds and released in 2016. The game enjoyed moderate success at launch but its player base has declined significantly over the years, especially after the original developer faced studio changes and reduced updates. As a long-running MMORPG with a niche but loyal community, it likely sustains around 1,000-2,000 daily active players today.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
