Avalon: The Legend Lives

Roblox

Avalon: The Legend Lives is a classic text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) that's been running since 1989. As one of the longest-running online RPGs, its player base has shrunk over the decades. Such old-school, niche MUDs usually maintain a very dedicated but very small community—likely just a few dozen daily active players.

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.
