Aether Story

Rose Online is a classic MMORPG originally launched in the mid-2000s and later revived by Rednim Games in collaboration with Gravity Interactive. As a niche, older title with a small but loyal fanbase and recent relaunch efforts, it's estimated to attract a modest daily active player base, likely in the low thousands. Its player community is much smaller than at its peak but remains active due to nostalgia and ongoing updates.

Aether Story is an indie fantasy RPG in development by Phanxgames LLC, described as a multiplayer online RPG. It has limited recognition and marketing, and likely a small, tightly-knit community. As an indie game, especially without any major release or expansion, its daily active players are likely quite low—likely under 500. The game's persistent world and focus on a multiplayer online experience suggest it does meet basic MMO criteria, though on a small scale.
