At least Kickstarter allows some legit small dev teams to create games that are fully crowd funded and don't require going to corrupt publishers.

I think we're going to see more and more "indie" MMOs coming out through crowdfunding like kickstarter. People are realizing that you just can't throw ludicrous amounts of money at a game to make it successful. For example, TOR was one of the most (or maybe the most) expensive game ever made, and it was a fucking mess and went free to play almost instantly.
So we probably won't see another giant like WoW anytime soon, but hopefully we'll see more smaller scale and specialized MMOs. They'll stop trying to appeal to everyone, and start thinking up interesting concepts and play styles to appeal to certain groups. This will also hopefully encourage healthy communities. I played with many of the same people for years on EQ, but 99% of the people I played WoW with I never saw again after a week or so.
