Legends of IdleOn

Sword Art Online: Integral Factor is a mobile and PC action RPG published by Bandai Namco, released in 2018. While it had popularity in its first years—especially among SAO anime fans—player base has declined over time due to lack of major updates and competition in the mobile RPG space. Still, it retains a steady niche audience, particularly in Asia. Estimate: 35,000 daily players.

Legends of IdleOn is a well-known idle MMORPG created by indie developer LavaFlame2, released in late 2020 and available on multiple platforms (PC, Android, iOS). While it is not developed by a major studio, the game has remained popular within its niche, fueled by regular content updates and a dedicated player community. Given its cross-platform support, ongoing development, and its distinct idle MMO format, a daily player count in the 25,000–40,000 range is typical for active indie MMOs of this scope about 3-4 years after launch.
