Rise of Agon

VS

Scum

Rise of Agon is an indie sandbox MMORPG released in 2017 as a continuation of Darkfall Online. As a niche game with a small, dedicated community and limited marketing, it is likely to have a low but steady active player base, especially since it is several years old and has not garnered mainstream popularity. Most indie sandbox MMOs of this age average a few hundred daily players.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
