I would like to know if there is a good open source project that let's me run a copy of a game on my phone without crashing or bugging out after a day or two, nothing on the app store works well enough. I just want to enjoy multiple accounts on an old 32bit mmorpg from 2013-2014.

Android specifically has user accounts you can add to your phone for this.

Additionally, Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung, and OnePlus also have similar types of virtual space environments, that they brand as Private Space, Secure Folder and Parallel Apps, respectively. All 4, of these, are based on an Android OS feature for supporting multiple user accounts, but with some customizations so that these virtual spaces are like an anonymous user account.

Unfortunately I think they require that the application be marked in its manifest as supporting these types of things, and you may need Root in order to force the functionality on this particular app. I did this with Ingress at some point after they banned me claiming I was cheating and gps hacking (probably my bad Nexus 6 GPS that liked to jump around a lot) -- because they have similar functionality. Account tied directly to your gmail.

Yeah I thought of using a separate user but I seems calls and texts don't get through to the second user on my phone (or at least they get delayed), plus setting up things like music and other apps like discord for notification is too much of a hassle. For the built-in parallel apps on android only work for social media type apps. Seems like my best bet would be work profile.
