Aion is a fantasy MMORPG released by NCsoft in 2008. It had significant popularity in its early years, especially in Asia, but has seen a steady decline in Western markets due to age, competition, and lack of major expansions. NCsoft still supports the game and runs classic servers, which help retain a niche but passionate player base. Current daily active players are likely in the low thousands globally, maintained by a dedicated core community.
