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.
