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.
Estimated Daily Players
~15 thousand
We estimate that Palia has currently around 15k players daily.
Palia is a cozy MMO released in December 2023 by Singularity 6, offering adventure, fantasy, and simulation gameplay. As a newer MMO with niche appeal in the community-driven, social sim genre, it started with some interest but does not have the widespread traction of large AAA MMORPGs. Given its genre, recent launch, and current online activity trends, a daily active player estimate in the 10,000–20,000 range is reasonable.
