I'm one of the dev for a small independant mmorpg called Star Sonata (http://www.starsonata.com/).
We have about 400 subscribers (and maybe 100-200 active free accounts) and the game is growing slowly but steadily and it's been the case for the last year since we got out of beta. It's mostly semi part time work for 2-4 persons. It did take 2-3 persons working full time for at least a year to get it out thought, but nearly everything was done from scratch.
I would say it is possible but take alot of patience. You also have to not really expect money from this and when it does come somewhat, you take it as a bonus.
