AdventureQuest 3D is a cross-platform MMORPG launched in 2016 by Artix Entertainment. While it started with a solid player base thanks to the nostalgia and success of the AdventureQuest brand, Artix is a small indie studio with a niche audience. Eight years post-launch, active player numbers have declined, but the game's persistent updates keep a modest, loyal community engaged. The game is niche but still fits classic MMO criteria with its persistent world and multiplayer elements.
