Dungeons runs on five of them: Skyblock, Survival, Prison, Cobblemon and Pixelmon. The network has 2,000+ players online at once every day across all its servers, has been running since 2016, and is free to play. If you want something Complex doesn't run, the closest alternatives are Hypixel for minigames and RPG-style SkyBlock, Wynncraft for an MMORPG, ManaCube for parkour, and DonutSMP for a hardcore PvP SMP.
