Aabahran: The Forsaken Lands

VS

Pokémon Go

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.

Pokémon Go, launched in 2016 by Niantic Labs and The Pokémon Company, remains a leading mobile AR game. While its initial peak was much higher, it consistently maintains high active daily users due to ongoing events, strong brand recognition, and global reach. High engagement is reinforced through regular content updates and seasonal events, although numbers have declined from their 2016–2017 peak.
