At its height, World of Warcraft attracted roughly 12 million subscribers to explore Azeroth together. PointlessQuest operates on a dramatically smaller scale. On its launch day, the game reached a peak of just 15 players online at the same time. The figure is intentionally exact, not a typo or an omitted unit. The piece presents the game through that striking contrast with one of the biggest MMOs ever made.
