Fact table
All nine, side by side
| Fact | Ironwood RPG | Idle Pixel | Tanoth | Ikariam | Elvenar | OGame | Angband | Discworld MUD | MUME |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kind | Idle | Idle | Classic browser RPG | At sea | City and strategy | City and strategy | Dungeon | Text world | Text world |
| Runs it | Gemuki Pty Ltd, Brisbane | Smitty, a solo developer | Gameforge, Karlsruhe | Gameforge, Karlsruhe | InnoGames, Hamburg | Gameforge, Karlsruhe | Volunteers led by Nick McConnell | Volunteers | Volunteers, hosted at HEIG-VD in Switzerland |
| Since | 2022 (early access); version 1.0 in July 2024 | by December 2021 (earliest archive copy) | 2008; relaunched 25 July 2024 | 2008 | 2015 | 2002 | 1990; public since 1993 | 1991; open to players since 1992 | 1991 |
| To start | Continue with Google, with an email address, or as a guest. Guest progress is saved only on that device. | Create an account with a username and password; no email is asked for. Choose a mode at sign-up: Normal, Hardcore (no trading), 1 Life, or Teams of 2 to 8. | Make a Gameforge account in the lobby, then choose a world. Luminous Glades, the newest English one, opened on 16 October 2026. | Sign in to Gameforge's Ikariam lobby and pick a world. Keto, the newest English one, opened on 18 September 2026. | Free registration with an email address, confirmed by a link. The same account also plays in the iOS and Android apps. | A Gameforge account with an email address and a password, then a universe. The newest English one, West, opened on 2 October 2026. | On Angband.live, type a nickname and a password; a new name creates an account. No email. You can watch other people's games without playing. | Open the browser client from the front page and create a character at the login prompt. There is no website account. | Open MMapper Web in the browser and create an account at the game's prompt, then make characters inside it. One account per person. |
| Phone browser | On a phone-sized browser the guest sign-in and the character screen fitted and worked when we tried on 23 October 2026; we stopped there. The terms also licence iOS and Android apps. | Idle Pixel says nothing official about phones and has no app. Untested on a phone. | Gameforge's server list marks most worlds as mobile, but there is no app and no official word on phone browsers. | The Ikariam app was pulled from the stores and the team tells players to use the browser version. We did not test that on a phone. | Elvenar has official iOS and Android apps on the same account, and updates reach them in the same week. We did not try the browser version on a phone. | An OGame Mobile app existed in 2022 and most universes are listed for mobile, but we could not confirm phone play today. | Controls assume a numpad or the vi keys, so a phone without a keyboard is impractical. There is no official phone version. | The official clients page says phone play is not recommended, especially for beginners; Android regulars use the BlowTorch app. | MUME says nothing about phones, and the browser client is a 37 MB download, heavy on mobile data. |
