Statistically, crowdfunded MMOs have a high failure rate; recent data suggests nearly 47% of these projects fail completely, while only about 11% are considered successful.

Heh, "previous MMORPG titled Oath (developed by ReadyUp Studios) became a notorious example of a "cash and dash" scheme. It raised over $116,000 on Kickstarter but never delivered a playable game, faced accusations of not paying contractors, and eventually saw the studio dissolve."
