This week in MMO crowdfunding news, Project Gorgon graduated from our “current campaigns” list to our “fully funded” list thanks to its successful $74,000 Kickstarter take. New this week is MUD, a procedurally generated full-loot PvP MMO that got off to a rocky start with some players due to its female avatar stretch goal.
