Torn

Roblox

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.

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.
