Avatar (CYBIS/PLATO Avatar), originally released in 1979, is recognized as one of the earliest graphical multi-user dungeon RPGs. As a historic online RPG, it has minimal but persistent community activity today—likely only a handful of dedicated players still connect via the CYBER1 PLATO emulator. Its advanced age and strong niche roots limit it to 0–10 daily users in modern times.
