This week in MMO crowdfunding news, the usual suspects kept us abreast of their progress with developer blogs, class reveals, status updates, and the like. Camelot Unchained revealed its Scout archetypes, Star Citizen made major changes to its flight model, and Elite: Dangerous showed off planetary combat.
That’s not all that went on, of course, and the rest of it is just past the break.
