Are there any indie MMOs you still have hope for?

I think we've all realized that indie MMOs are going to offer, at best, a very limited experience compared to the AAA games of the past. Still, are there any indie MMOs in development you still have hope will deliver a quality experience that functions as originally promised? My list is down to one: Project: Gorgon.

Camelot Unchained.
Saga of Lucien.
Pantheon: RotF.
Chronicles of Elrya.
I can't say I am burning candle or pining away for any of them.. but.. I have my eye on them all, and really hoping they work out and make something.
* I pre-ordered this one, and have been in the pre-alpha. Looks solid, and will go live soon enough, once they work out the bugs and graphics.
Although there are very few true Indie studios,most house veterans in the business.I think we all tend to rate Indie as being a new studio or not having much money.
As to Gorgon, it is a great game on paper but not in implementation.There is way too many things to describe the fails in design,it is like ideas are both good and bad at the same time.Also the combat felt very much handcuffed,like i didn't even matter,could have just pressed auto complete for combat.If Eric hired an actual quality artist/modeler the game could have and should have looked a lot better,even on that ancient platform.
However even at it's faults,i did have some fun playing Gorgon and played it for like idk around 6 months.It is just that after all that i lost interest,i really wish the game could have been funded by a large entity and a bigger team to make it all around a more polished and better looking game.I feel the $39 price tag is a bit much,$20 is about right.

OP have you played Project Gorgon? The game is already mostly complete just extra races and housing to be added but for the most part everything that there is is mostly already in the game. I've put the game down temporarily until they add dwarves and housing. The development is slow though so dunno how long those will take.

COE was a long shot until I remembered their focus in parkour mechanics.
I'm already pretty old and slow, I could well be nearing 70 by the time the game launches so anything focused on action combat won't be of interest.
Unless of course they find a way to wire me into the Matrix.

2 - Pantheon: RotF - Even though the CEO passed awa, I am quite confident we will see this game too, although the vision may be reduced from the original plan.
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
Quality games,now there lies the problem,VERY few of those out there.The industry is so tied up to time lines,money,profits,investors that hardly one game is released without several flaws in design.
So i honestly don't care if a game releases,i only care about a quality game i would want to play and pay for.If a game releases f2p i auto write it off as crap and have yet to see one single game change that.
I feel that in the end,of the games that do release,all of them will be rushed and will have removed some of the game they could not finish in a timely fashion.It is a simple decision for the studios...hey just omit that idea and we will sell it to them in a dlc or expansion,they'll never know the difference.

- The Repopulation: Virtually dead.
- SotA: Got away from the original concept and turned out to be a game for whales.
- Shards Online/Legends of Aria: Got away from the original concept and is dying.
- Camelot Unchained: Stuck in development hell and I think it will be for years to come.
These are the reasons I have so little hope left, plus seeing so many other indie MMOs I didn't back either fail outright or get stuck in endless development. I guess I also hold out some hope for Ship of Heroes, but I won't back it or any other MMO until it's fully released and proven to be a decent game.
The current game on here that everyone seems interested and hopeful for is Saga of Lucimia. The developer talks a good game, but so have many others. That's how they get the funding to begin with, either from private investors or crowdfunding. They're good salesmen. I'm just not getting my hopes up any more for an MMO short of a full release.
Doesn't appear to be a thing anymore.
They recently added fairies as an advanced playable race, so I've been leveling as an ice mage/priest while waiting for Crowfall to send 5.110 to the test server.
