Dark Ages: Online Roleplaying

IdleOn

Dark Ages: Online Roleplaying is a classic, niche MMORPG originally launched in the early 2000s. Although it retains a small, dedicated fanbase, its population has declined substantially over the years due to its age and lack of mainstream presence or major publisher support. The daily active player count is estimated to be extremely low—likely only a handful of veteran players online at any time.

IdleOn (Legends of IdleOn) is a niche indie idle MMORPG released in 2020 by solo developer LavaFlame2. While 'indie' and 'idle' games generally have moderate daily activity compared to AAA titles, IdleOn maintains a loyal fanbase due to its unique persistent-world idle mechanics and multi-platform availability. Its activity is bolstered by regular updates and a dedicated community, but as a non-mainstream MMO, it likely sustains around 30,000 daily players at present.
