Sword Girls
Sword Girls was a free-to-play anime-styled browser collectible card game from Zeonix, published internationally by ChangYou, with a card-crafting system and PvE dungeon battles; Zeonix went bankrupt and closed the game permanently in November 2017, though a Korean revival launched in 2021 as Kana Tales. It is a session-based card game rather than a persistent MMO.

Not a persistent MMO
- Sword Girls is a digital collectible card game — a genuinely different genre from MMORPGs, built around deck-building and turn-based card duels rather than a shared persistent world.
- It's catalogued here as "Online card game" — a related but distinct genre from the persistent-world MMOs this site otherwise covers.
- It's included in this directory because it's commonly searched for by people trying to figure out whether it counts as an MMO — this page exists to give you a straight answer.
Real MMOs to check out
- This entry is intentionally excluded from MMOFinder's platform, genre, and catalog-wide statistics, since it isn't a persistent-world MMO.
