This week in MMO crowdfunding news, MUD canceled its Kickstarter, ostensibly so that its developers could pursue other job opportunities that will help fund MUD down the road. Also this week, Indie sci-fi sandbox Divergence Online kicked off another IndieGoGo campaign to supplement its previous successes and round out the game’s combat.
The rest of this week’s crowdfunding news roundup is just past the break.
