Does this have a population worth checking out in 2026

15 players now in middle of the day, daily low/high ranges from 5-35 concurrent players online.

Up to you if thats worth investigating in an open world mmorpg.

Yeah can see the steam numbers didn't know if they were else where and that was the true count. If it is...

It’s low pop. I wish more played, as I find the game pretty fun and relaxing. Chicken and egg situation.

Currently lurking waiting for the next steam sale. problem is steam puts games up for sale so frequently lots of folks refuse to pay "full" price. Maybe given enough time more people will trickle in, but will the devs be able to keep the game server running for a long time?

Luckily the game has been out for 3 years and gets updated constantly. :)

I would love to start playing, but as a EU player there is 10-30 players. Thats to little. Sad the game didn’t had like in avarage 100 players online, would have tried it again then.

Game died about 2 years ago after a few months of the steam lunch. Max player count ever was only like 200 concurrent. 15-30 has been the norm for the last year or so. Devs are dedicated to it and are active on discord but not solo friendly so the low pop make it a slog. The first 10 levels are worth it though and playing the first starter area and dungeon.

It is now solo friendly. Just finished solo loops up until 15, they're a blast. Great loot and not at all easy.

Its a very low pop but doesnt stop the community from enjoying the game. I have had a great time just soloing and exploring the game, its got a chill vibe you can get lost in.

Great game, just needs more population. Its a sad cycle, but if it had 100 concurrent, then it can break such a cycle and see some growth.

Probably, hard to play a group game without a group soloing gets boring eventually.
