Drakensang Online

Ilysia is a VR-focused MMORPG that launched in late 2023 by indie studio Team 21. As a niche title in the VR MMO space, its player retention is modest but active, likely engaging hundreds of daily players. The scale and indie market position suggest an estimated 500–1000 daily active players, biasing conservatively toward the lower end due to genre constraints and limited platform reach. It meets MMORPG criteria thanks to its persistent world and focus on large-scale player interactions in VR.

Drakensang Online launched in 2011 as a free-to-play action RPG/MMO from Bigpoint, at its peak boasting a strong player base mainly in Europe. More than a decade later, it retains a small but consistent niche audience. As a browser-based MMO, its population has steadily declined, especially with increased competition and aging tech, but its structure and legacy support some daily player activity.
