AFK Journey

Allods Online is a Russian MMORPG launched by Mail.Ru. While popular at launch, the game's player base has dwindled significantly over the years, especially after 8+ years online and strong regional competition. As a persistent-world MMO with classic features, its Russian version likely retains a small but steady core of loyal daily players.

AFK Journey, developed by Farlight Games, is a recently released cross-platform fantasy idle RPG with gacha and adventure elements. The game has generated significant hype post-launch, especially among mobile and casual strategy communities, and leverages the popularity of its predecessor, AFK Arena. Recent mobile downloads and community activity suggest strong daily engagement, likely in the hundreds of thousands. Given its cross-platform support and gacha monetization, retention is high at launch. However, it does not qualify as an MMO despite some open-world and multiplayer features, as it lacks a persistent large-scale shared world.
