Crowfall, a new massively multiplayer online game from the creators of Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, has hit its Kickstarter funding goal of $800,000 in just three days, developer ArtCraft has announced.

ArtCraft describes Crowfall as an MMO throne war simulator, in which players take on the role of kings, queens, mercenaries, and assassins in a feudal world, where players battle for territory by building castles and siege equipment.

ArtCraft told GameSpot that Crowfall's central conceit is that players will have persistent characters that embark on finite campaigns they can actually win. Once you win or lose, you can move on to a new campaign.

At the time of writing Crowfall has $882,779 from 8,942 backers and 25 more days to go until the end of the crowdfunding campaign.

"We are floored and humbled by the response from our community," ArtCraft president and executive producer Gordon Walton said. “We hoped that the vision behind Crowfall would help it find an audience, but we didn’t expect to exceed our target so quickly.”
