A Tale in the Desert is a niche, long-running sandbox MMO that launched in 2003. The game is known for its unique social and crafting-driven systems, but its player base has always been small compared to mainstream MMORPGs. Given its age, indie status, and community-driven development, the current daily active player base is likely under 200.
