Bit Heroes

Rose Online is a classic anime-themed MMORPG that originally launched in the mid-2000s and was revived by Rednim Games and Gravity Interactive. The game had a niche but passionate community, but due to its age (over 10 years since the 2012 re-release) and lack of major recent updates or mainstream attention, the active daily player base is low, likely around 1,000–2,000. Still, as an old-school MMO, it maintains small, dedicated servers.

Bit Heroes is a 2016 retro-style RPG published by Kongregate and available on multiple platforms. While not a mainstream success, it maintains a dedicated niche audience due to its continuous updates and mobile appeal. As a midlife F2P online RPG, it's likely to have a modest but stable daily active user base in the low five figures. However, its core gameplay does not support a true persistent, large-scale world with hundreds interacting live, so it is not a traditional MMO.
