What’s better than money? More money.

The massively multiplayer online role-playing game that promises destructive environments and political intrigue, Crowfall, has finished its Kickstarter campaign today. It managed to raise $1,766,205, well ahead of the $800,000 it originally asked for. However, Crowfall is still taking donations over at its official website.

Crowfall became the 15th highest funded video game on Kickstarter. The top spot belongs to Torment: Tides of Numenera, which raised $4,188,927. It’s the third best-funded MMO, behind Hex (which is also a digital card game) and Camelot Unchained.

“Kickstarter provides an amazing vehicle for our fans to support this project, but we also have players in other countries who haven’t been able to back us,” said developer ArtCraft cofounder and president Gordon Walton in a press release sent to GamesBeat. “For those fans, and for the others who missed the Kickstarter, we’ve opened up our own platform on Crowfall.com. We’ll be adding upgrades and new backer bundles in the coming days and weeks.”
