IdleOn

Record of Lodoss War Online is an MMORPG released in late 2016 by L&K Logic Korea. Though based on a well-known IP, the game has struggled to retain significant player numbers outside of its initial release, particularly in the West and even in Korea. The game shows signs of low population and minimal ongoing support, typical of older, niche MMOs from smaller publishers. Estimated daily active players are likely quite low—around 100, mostly diehard fans or those on private servers.

IdleOn (Legends of IdleOn) is a niche indie idle MMORPG released in 2020 by solo developer LavaFlame2. While 'indie' and 'idle' games generally have moderate daily activity compared to AAA titles, IdleOn maintains a loyal fanbase due to its unique persistent-world idle mechanics and multi-platform availability. Its activity is bolstered by regular updates and a dedicated community, but as a non-mainstream MMO, it likely sustains around 30,000 daily players at present.
