I assume you'll be able to obtain character slots elsewise, either through in game progression or cash shop purchases.
$1.4 million? Really?! It seems like just the other night we were posting an update to thank you for hitting $1.3 million! Oh! That's because... we did! We have officially gathered over $1.4 million in pledges for Crowfall. This amazing number means that we can now include the God's Reach (3 faction) rules set to the core module, and it means that the "Artifacts and Relics" system is a GO! AND it looks like we're going to need a new stretch goal! So, at $1.5 million, we're adding "the Infected" ruleset + bonus "Minotaur" archetype! The Infected ruleset is the multi-faction system that supports the War-of-the-Gods: 12 factions, one for each God, warring for supremacy of a Campaign World. We've really looking forward to having this ruleset and we REALLY hope you guys will support us to make it happen sooner, rather than later! ...AND in addition to that, we're going to take this opportunity to add another Archetype to the mix: the Minotaur! As some of you already know, we're big fans of the Bullmen around here. (And no, not just because of our close proximity to UT Austin.) The Minotaur Myrmidon was an archetype that we wanted at launch... but for cost reasons, we cut him. At $1.5 million, we're going to change that. And as a special "thank you" to our VIP members (which, thanks to the unlocked 13,000 backer reward means ALL of you!) we're going to give you a 1-month head start on creating characters of this type. As always, thank you SO MUCH for making this happen, and please keep spreading the word about Crowfall!
ell, things have really heated up for us. We've been waiting to hit each stretch goal before we announce the next, but they're starting to hit so quickly that we can't keep up. We have to sleep sometime! . So, we're going to go ahead and list out a few more at this point, and we'll see how far we get. We don't necessarily expect that we will get to all of these in the next 48 hours (but we can hope!) but better to have them up, just in case! 15,500 - Backer Reward: All-Father Statue RELIC ...at 15,500 backers, we're going to convert that All Father statue (that we granted back at 12k backers) into a Relic! This means the statue will now be more than a cosmetic prop to add to your Kingdom -- now, it will offer a Blessing of Knowledge (+1% training of combat skills!) to the land owner and all of the tenants of the parcel in which it is placed. $1.6 million Stretch Reward: Tournament System Campaign Tournaments! We will add a single-elimination Tournament ladder for guilds to compete on a annual (or bi-annual) basis. Guilds will have to win a Campaign to qualify, at which point they will be pitted against each other in a single elimination, winner-take-all Tournament to take home the Dragon Throne -- an Artifact which benefits everyone in the Kingdom -- and which shows, without question, which Guild is the best. $1.7 million Stretch Reward: Combat-enabled Pets! Tame wild creatures to act as your companion, and craft magical figurines to summon to them to your aid! These Combat-ready pets are built as an extension to the mounts system, and will be useful for ALL archetypes -- they are not limited to a particular class or playstyle!
Well, they already hit 15k backers, and $1.5M is just $48,313 away... if they continue to pick up ~$2k an hour, it seems likely they'll hit the minotaur, if not necessarily the tournament system.
I hope they get 1.7m in that last push, combat pets could be interesting in a system where you actually have to give a damn about their survival too!
Picked up $21k in the last... what, 6 hours? At this pace it might just barely scrape up the tournament goal. I think the relic goal is easily on-track.
I think they're easily on track for the Dwarven Thrall with 15,870 backers, and only $16,542 short of the Tournament stretch goal. It'll take quite a push to get to the combat pets and Centaur and Forgemaster Relics, though. But they have picked up nearly $132k in the last 24 hours, so who knows... at the present pace they should hit about $1.67M at the end of the Kickstarter. If there's a big push at the end, it could carry.
5 hours left... less than 3k to 1.7... boy they gonna wake up in the morning wishing they had made up a 1.75 or 1.8 goal for monies......
Wow... Been stuck on an HSV (contractor ship used by the military) for the past 26 hours with no internet. Amazed to see how much they've raised in that time.
final tally 16,936 backers pledged $1,766,204 to help bring this project to life. less than 100 backers from the centaur relic, but I'm not to terribly worried about that, we may not get them automagically free, but I'm sure they'll probably be available in the game. I wouldn't be shocked if some people backed with multiple accounts on this one stretch goals for citizen numbers is a bit odd ^.^
