We did it! Chronicles of Elyria is 100% Funded!
You did it! With your help... all of you, we managed to reach our funding goal! We're super excited by what this means. It means our efforts up to this point were not in vain. It means our vision for Elyria is shared by over 7,000 other players and we're headed in the right direction.
You've voted for this game through your support, and we won't let you down. We will continue to drive development forward with the seed funding you're providing and will not stop until the game meets our high standard of quality.
We recognize that in a world of funding fatigue, failed Kickstarter projects, and startup indy studios attempting the impossible, you've taken a risk in supporting us. It means the world to us - to me, that we have your support and your trust. As we navigate the murky waters of business, development, distribution, etc. we will do everything in our power to maintain our transparency and uphold our honesty policy. Because that's the kind of company we are, and that's how we'd want to be treated in your shoes.
The game would not be possible without your support, and we won't forget that. You've made our, my, dream a reality. In just a few short weeks after the Kickstarter ends we'll receive the pledges you've provided to us. Then it'll be our turn to bring your dream of a dynamic, immersive world to life. And we can't wait to write our stories right along side yours.
As we look past the $900k, there's still plenty of cool features that can be added, and plenty of opportunities to go above and beyond the $900k. A project of this size unquestionably comes with risks and uncertainty, and while we've done our best to account for those, they are by nature, unexpected. So while we've met our minimum goal, we look to you now to help us go above and beyond, so we can bring you the best experience possible.
We will post our stretch goals tomorrow, however, in all the excitement and anticipation we've gone and stayed up until 3am and it's time for sleep. :-)
Thank you again for your continued support. Now that we've proven there's passion in this project, let's show the world how high we can really go in the next 20 days.
With much love and gratitude,
Jeromy Walsh

Keep the flow of information coming. Get to the magic number of 10k Backers and your studio should have a good foundation to get the game you want to make made. I was Backer #47. I've been watching this game for almost a year. With Revival down and out, CoE is my last hope for something different. I can't wait to step into your game world. ~Maric~

Solarhead am May 14
Congratulations on this, guys. This amazing vision of yours deserves a lot more than what has been collected so far, in my opinion, if only for the way it could revolutionize the stale MMORPG genre.

Mark Peasley am May 14
I never contribute to something as risky as game development on Kickstarter. But you guys have demonstrated that you know the risks and Chronicles of Elyria is nearly everything that I've been looking for in a game. I rarely play games with a "fantasy" or "medieval" setting, but CoE sounds too great for me not to want to support and play it. All of the risks are worth it if you can make even some of what you have planned a reality. Good luck to you all.
David Long am May 14

@Adrian Turtle I'm sure based on on amount you are spending for the tier they will work with you personally on all aspects of the weapon. You could send them drawings, pictures, or even a 3D concept for what you want, and that will be what they put in the game. Within reason.
TimothyTierless am May 14
It would seem COE just blazed its own trail bucking traditional in funding patterns in the process. I have a feeling this won't be he first time :)
Mihai Haja am May 14
Congrats!
Adrian Turtle am May 14
Awesome stuff, guys, can't bloody wait!
Even though we've hit the full amount (well, beyond now), I'm still considering upping my pledge to Weapon Master, so I've a couple questions
- How would the design process work - as in, would it just be picking from a base weapon and altering it, or something more, and how detailed could it be if so?
- If the 'Heirloom' feature makes it into the game, would it be a possible option to make this weapon already an heirloom to your character?
Cheers!

I was glued to watching it get closer to the 900k mark. This is just the beginning.
Stacey Lackey am May 14
This actually made me tear up. :')
Maybe it's because I'm really sensitive and empathetic, but I really felt the sincerity, pride and joy in the words. I'm so glad to be apart of this. My fellow Elyrians and I are so excited!
