Legends of IdleOn

Palworld is a survival/adventure sandbox game released in January 2024 by Pocketpair. It experienced an explosive launch with millions of sales and high concurrent player counts on PC. Since launch, player counts have declined from their peak but remain strong for a new multiplayer survival game, thanks to active updates and ongoing community engagement. It's not an MMO, as servers are typically limited to smaller group sizes and don't feature a true persistent, massively multiplayer world.

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.
