I actually wasn't quite sure if Stars Reach would make their next stretch goal on the MMORPG's Kickstarter campaign.

Turns out, they made it and still have about a day to go. I'm thinking they won't make their last 2 stretch goals, but hey, raising over 3 times what they asked for is certainly impressive.
