Aabahran: The Forsaken Lands

VS

Outriders

Aabahran: The Forsaken Lands is a very old text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon), launching in 2000. MUDs generally have niche, loyal communities but extremely low player counts after two decades. Although it has multi-platform support and a Facebook presence, its age and lack of major publisher support mean its daily active population is likely under 100, with only a handful of dedicated players remaining.

Outriders is a co-op looter-shooter released in 2021 by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. While it had a strong launch, concurrent player numbers have declined significantly since release. The game is not an MMO, as it centers around instanced co-op play (groups of up to three), not a persistent open world with massive players. Based on trends typical for similar games 2-3 years post-launch, estimated daily active players are in the low thousands across all platforms.
