Realms of Despair is a text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) that launched in 1994 and is one of the oldest online fantasy RPGs still in operation. These games have a small, resilient core player base but see very low daily activity by modern standards, especially given its age and niche appeal. MUD communities are typically in the dozens after nearly 30 years online.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore tactical shooter with survival and RPG elements, released in 2017 by Battlestate Games. Despite being several years old and not yet fully released as a 1.0 version, it retains a strong, dedicated player base due to its unique, high-stakes gameplay loop and regular content wipes. However, its niche appeal and high difficulty prevent mass market adoption, leading to a moderately sized but stable daily active player count.
