Been looking for a new game with pvp. I'm hoping for something that doesn't force you to be in a guild. I don't mind joining a guild and will eventually, but don't have one to start with since I don't know if I will stick in any of the games. What do you think about these upcoming games?

If anything, CU looks more like being an actual MMO than the other 2, from character creation, to the worlds themselves, doesn't mean i think the other 2 games are necessarily bad, just not the types of games i would naturally have any interest in.

I don't know if its ideas will work, but it's different enough that it's worth trying.
Both CU and Crowfall have some great ideas for PvP that will keep it fresh and interesting for long periods of time so I'm hoping both will be successes.
However, CU wins my vote for the following reasons:
Since they don't have any funding system yet, then City of Titans.
One caveat; I don't back games at all any more until I try them, no matter how enticing the pre-order offer is.
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
Just because i am a fan of MJ, not so much after the TOA fiasco but he has regained my trust. The team he has assembled for this project are phenoms imo. Taking awhile to get to Beta, but i think the wait will be worth it.
My favorite PvP experience to date by far was EQ on Rallos Zek. Open world contested PvE content gave us both more to do and more to fight over than DAoC or SB ever did.
I'll be playing both games, but I believe Pantheon's PvP servers will provide players with a better fantasy world, more to achieve and thus, a more enduring mmo.
I remember the PVP servers in EQ which were okay but when they tried to do the same, in Vanguard it was a mess and full of cheaters to the, point of them having to shut the PVP servers down.
It's interesting that no one here is interested in Albion. I like the art-style of Crowfall. I will probably wind up giving CU a go. I think Albion will be launching soon. Any idea about when Crowfall and CU will launch?
Will never back anything.
Gaming Companies have you heard of banks and loans?
Finished polished product will get you my money!
However, bringing publishers on board has its difficulties. First, you have to convince them your idea is good AND will make a lot of money, otherwise they aren't going to invest. For niche products, that pitch is very hard to make. For entirely new ideas its even harder. On top of that, you often end up having to make concessions to the publisher, losing some creative control.
As both Crowfall and Camelot Unchained are niche products in a niche market, I imagine getting a publisher on board would have been extremely hard but I believe both teams have experieced the negative impacts of giving up creative control to publishers. Mark Jacobs certainly got shafted by EA when developing Warhammer: Age of Reckoning and one of his main reasons for going the crowd funding route was to retain 100% of the creative control.
