Torn City, an indie text-based online RPG set in a dark underworld, has achieved a new player record 20+ years after its launch in 2004. The game's creator, Joe Chedburn, shared the milestone on the forums and explained how they increased their capacity to host more players through widespread optimization and new advertising campaigns. The 100,000 player count is a significant milestone for an indie game and is particularly impressive for this leap in player count so many years after the original launch.
