$1.0 Million Mark
After reaching the $800 thousand dollar goal in just a few days the first few stretch goals announced. The first one being at $1 million female centaurs would be added to make the Centaur Legionnaire the 8th archetype to be provided; upgraded FX and hiring "another Eric" which simply meant putting Eric Hart onto 3D character design and hiring a dedicated FX Artist to work on the game.
12K Backers and 13K Marks
Before the second stretch goal for money, the kickstarter had reached 12 thousand backers. Leading up to this the first backer stretch goal was announced that gave a free All-Father Statue for your Personal Kingdom on all pledge levels. After that came the 13 thousand backer mark which also gave 1 month of free VIP Membership for all pledge levels.
$1.3 Million and 14K Backers Marks
As the backers and donations kept coming in Crowfall was becoming more popular every day. Money did slow down reaching $1.3 Million but quickly sped up again near the end officially announcing mounts and the caravan system to be implemented into Crowfall. With it also came the Guinea Beast Pack Animal for a pledge levels at day later on March 22nd at 14 thousand backers.
$1.4 Million and 14.5 Backers Marks
Immediately a day after $1.4 million was donated inviting a new ruleset to campaigns called God's Reach and the Artifacts and Relics System in Crowfall. Also came 14.5 backers which brought bonus land parcels of 1 to 160 when you donated X amount of money, the lowest being 1 parcel for $40.
The Last 48 Hours
In the last 48 hours more pledges were coming in announcing support for Crowfall on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive support when supported with Unity5. We also got our 13th Archtype, The Minotaur Myrmidon which was originally going to be an archetype but got scrapped because of money early stages of the game. Coming in with the Minotaur came the Infected ruleset which was 12 faction campaigns which meant instead of Order v. Balance v. Chaos it will be every faction against the other so D'Orion v. Gaea v. Yaga v. Malekai v. Arkyn and so on. Right as $1.5 million was hit the 15.5K backer goal was hit upgrading the All-Father statue to include a relic called Relic of Knowledge increasing our training in combat skills +1%.
On March 25th the last 2 stretch goals were reached, the first being the 16K backer stretch goal giving everyone who pledged $100 to get a Stoneborn Thrall who improved your crafting. The other goal being at $16 million which would add a tournament system would have been implemented for factions and guilds in a winner-take-all system once or twice a year. To enter the tournaments your guild would have to win a campaign. The winner would get the Dragon Throne benefiting everyone in the kingdom. The final stretch goal was reached at the very end of the kickstarter. At $1.7 million combat-enabled pets would be introduced being a part of the mounts system. You would be able to craft magical figurines to summon your pet and tame animals in the wild useful for all 13 archetypes not being limited to a certain class or play style. At 17K backers a centaur statue which included a Relic of Blessing would be added to the $60 pledge increasing your hunger resist +1%.

What Happens Next
What Happens Next
Thought it was all fine and dandy with everyone jumping for joy that we started the production of Crowfall raising so much money. Well... we aren't done, at least some of us aren't. There is a NEW stretch goal. All this money wasn't gained without the US base alone. There are people who believe in the vision of Crowfall outside of the US also who want to play. At $165,000 money received at crowfall.com will go to a European beta server housing 6 languages (German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Italian) and hiring a new community manager to focus on overseas communities. Are you going to continue to donate?
