It's still very early days for Crowfall, the MMO we previewed earlier this week, but even at this stage it's attracting an awful lot of attention: Less than three days after it began, the Crowfall Kickstarter has blown past its $800,000 funding goal.

"We are floored and humbled by the response from our community," 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."

In fact, Crowfall didn't even offer any stretch goals until yesterday, when ArtCraft tossed out a couple in an update: First, to hire a dedicated FX artist, and second, to implement mounts and caravans. Interestingly, neither stretch goal has a dollar amount attached, but how quickly the money is rolling in—and with 27 days left to go in the Kickstarter—I'd say it's a good bet they'll be achieved.

The Crowfall Kickstarter runs until March 26.
