Age of Empires Online: Celeste Fan Project

Achaea, Dreams of Divine Lands is a classic text-based MUD released in 1997 and maintained by Iron Realms Entertainment. While once popular, active daily player counts for text MUDs have generally decreased over time, with niche but devoted communities remaining. As a persistent, open-world roleplaying game, it's a true MMO, but its DAP is likely in the low hundreds at most due to its age and genre.

Age of Empires Online: Celeste Fan Project is a fan-run revival of the original Age of Empires Online, which was discontinued by Microsoft. As a community project launched in 2017, it maintains a niche but active RTS player base, mostly composed of dedicated fans. While not as popular as mainstream RTS games, its weekend activity peaks and ongoing support likely keep daily active players in the low thousands range. It is not run by major publishers but has support from a dedicated fan community.
