There is a lot of Massively Multiplayer Online games in development around the globe, most of the mainstream titles being developed in South Korea, Japan and China. In the US and Europe we're pretty much sleeping, with only a few upcoming AAA MMOs (e.g. New World). But in the west independent studios have been pretty active and hard at work to provide the next generation of MMOs, featuring innovative design or technologies. Here's a list of what I believe are 18 of the most promising and popular MMO projects being developed by independent studios. I've posted it around the web, if you want to add information to it just let me know!
