Ultima Online

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.

Ultima Online is a classic MMORPG originally released in 1997. While hugely influential, its player base has declined over time due to age and competition, though it retains a dedicated small community. As a sandbox MMO published by Electronic Arts and developed by Origin Systems, it still receives limited updates, supporting a modest but persistent daily active population.
