This week in MMO crowdfunding news, Divergence Online continued to raise eyebrows. First, head honcho Ethan “Lord of Edge” Casner spoke with MOP regarding the game’s Star Wars: Galaxies lineage, its open PvP, and its brutally honest marketing campaign.
After perusing the comments of the resulting article, Casner decided to offer a consensual PvP server stretch goal in order to appeal to SWG fans who balked at Divergence’s FFA gankbox stylings.
The rest of this week’s crowdfunding roundup is just past the break!
