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.

The game maintains strong interest due to continuous updates and community engagement, though it's still in alpha. Its daily active players generally range from 30,000 to 60,000, despite being niche compared to mainstream MMOs, but with a loyal playerbase and steady developer communication.
