The retro Pixel MMO Games had a completely different style. Sometimes the sprites are animated as usual pictures, which makes the graphics even smoother. In modern pixel games, all of the animations are smooth.

The sprites are usually sharp, well conveying the mood of characters and objects. Instead of it, you can see the bright patches of reflected light of any colour, and light shades, just a couple of tones darker than the primary colour. It has almost no transitions between shadow and light the depth of objects is often not displayed. In modern games, pixel style usually has plain bright shades, with the full-colour palette. Usually, Pixel MMO Games are indie projects, because this type of graphics is quite cheap, attractive and unusual at the same time.
