Realms of Despair is a long-running text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) first launched in 1994. While it was one of the larger online text RPGs in its prime, the player base of MUDs has greatly diminished due to the rise of graphical MMORPGs. Today, dedicated communities remain but active daily user numbers tend to be very low, typically ranging from a few dozen to at most a few hundred for even the most resilient MUDs. Based on these genre trends and the game's age, it's likely that current daily players are around 50.
