Legends of IdleOn

Familiars.io is an indie adventure RPG released in 2020 on multiple platforms, developed by a small creator. While it has some cult following due to its similarities to classic Pokémon-style games and was notable when launched for being a lightweight online creature collector, its player base has remained small. Most indie browser RPGs of this style outside major platforms rarely sustain large daily numbers long-term, especially four years after release without ongoing active marketing or major updates.

Legends of IdleOn is a well-known idle MMORPG created by indie developer LavaFlame2, released in late 2020 and available on multiple platforms (PC, Android, iOS). While it is not developed by a major studio, the game has remained popular within its niche, fueled by regular content updates and a dedicated player community. Given its cross-platform support, ongoing development, and its distinct idle MMO format, a daily player count in the 25,000–40,000 range is typical for active indie MMOs of this scope about 3-4 years after launch.
