Pony Town

Torn is a long-running text-based browser MMO RPG first launched in 2004. It has maintained a steady player base due to its niche appeal and persistent world, but its age means player numbers have declined from its peak. Despite being nearly two decades old, Torn still has an active community, with daily players likely in the low tens of thousands.

Pony Town is a social sandbox game, launched in 2016, focused on creative interaction and customization rather than traditional progression. It has a dedicated but niche community, mostly sustained via word of mouth and social platforms. Its web- and mobile-based accessibility helps retention, but it remains a relatively small game by mainstream standards, with an estimated daily active user base of about 5,000.
