Veloren

VS

Roblox

Veloren is an open-source, community-driven voxel RPG with sandbox elements, inspired by games like Cube World. It has been available since 2018 and is maintained by a dedicated but small community. Indie MMOs tend to have modest player bases, and Veloren typically has an active but niche following due to its open-source nature and ongoing development. Current daily active players are likely a few hundred.

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.
