Legends of IdleOn

Air Rivals (also previously known as Space Cowboy Online and later as Ace Online) is an older multiplayer sci-fi dogfighting shooter with RPG elements. Although it once had a loyal niche following, it is now quite obscure and player numbers have dwindled due to its age and lack of major publisher support. I estimate a few hundred daily active players globally, mostly in private servers or small remaining official instances.

Legends of IdleOn is a well-known idle MMORPG created by indie developer LavaFlame2, released in late 2020 and available on multiple platforms (PC, Android, iOS). While it is not developed by a major studio, the game has remained popular within its niche, fueled by regular content updates and a dedicated player community. Given its cross-platform support, ongoing development, and its distinct idle MMO format, a daily player count in the 25,000–40,000 range is typical for active indie MMOs of this scope about 3-4 years after launch.
