Astonia: The Return of Yendor

VS

Roblox

Astonia: The Return of Yendor is a niche indie RPG and strategy game, released in 2020 and based on the classic Astonia series. While it carries some nostalgic value, it has a very small, dedicated community and sees low visibility or promotion. Most indie revivals of old-school online RPGs typically support tens of daily players, not hundreds or thousands, as trends suggest for titles of this scope and age without major updates.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
