Was it actually stated somewhere that some stretch goals would be anounced at $1M? If so, cool! Still a long way from $2M, but something to shoot for, eh?
Anyway, I suspect it will hit $1M by the end of the 8th day, which is Wednesday, April 10, at 9:00 AM PDT, or about 29 hours from now. It may do so sooner, but I am certain it will be by then as that is about a $1K/hour pace, which I think is very achievable.
It's getting around $40K a day so it should hit $1 million today unless there is an unexpected drop off in donations. And yes Mark did say he would announce stretch goals at $1 million although I can't remember where I saw that.

More importantly... he said he'd wear a very colorful outfit, when it hit $1mil. Something much more garish than his standard black polo shirts he's worn in every vid.
At the rate it's going I'm not convinced this game will even be funded. Let alone reach some stretch goals.
Atm it needs to be hitting 44k each day. It has failed to do that the past three and the average it then needs keeps increasing.
Still early days, but it's not looking good.
As long as we stay near 44k per day, we are okay. There should be a surge near the end if other kickstarters are a guide. A single 80k day makes up for a week of 39k days. That's not saying that we have this in the bag. We still need to get the word out.
I play on the classic daoc freeshard, and it is amazing how many people I meet there that have never heard of CU. I point people here everyday and they are very excited when they find out. I would guess that the vast majority of the target audience for this game has no idea it exists.

That's true, but if it can keep going at close to the current rate then it is very likely people who already donated in the first few days will increase their donations at the very end and push it to $2 million. For instance check out what happened on the last day for Pathfinder Online:

Wow, I had no idea PO cut it that close. Good job on that community for pushing it over the finish line!
Looking at the PO chart again, it appears a whole lot of new people donated on the last day too. I guess they were waiting around hoping for somebody else to fund the game but when forced to choose between no game and ponying up a few bucks, they opened their wallets.
We are in day 8, we are infact exactly 5 hours into day 8 (at the time of writing). In the last 5 hours the project has raised $8,652 ($983,720.26 - $975,067.94) yet kicktraq would have us believe its more like $16,422
The KS project is just hovering under the amount needed to fund level atm, so with an expected big spike at the end we should probably be ok if it keeps ticking over as it has been doing for past few days.

When we hit 1 million they will bring out some stretch goals. I thought it would be today but now I have my doubts. If I had it I'd by an Inn, no I'd by ALL the inns!
It's at 990k and still have more than 6 hours (central time, more time on the pacific coast) to reach $1 million. I think it'll reach.
I'm more worried about it reaching the needed $44,000/day to reach $2 million overall. That's a tall order.

Keep in mind there will be a burst at the end as it gets to the last couple of days. Even if it was constantly $5,000 short of that $45,000 daily requirment, if there is a $100,000+ day at the end it will more than make up for it.
A lot of people wait to the last minute to see if they should even bother, and if its close they say why not and help it out. Plus in the last few days it pops up a lot more as an "Ending Soon!" kind of thing, so people who don't even know about the game might catch wind of it in the final stretch.
Ding, $1 million. Half way there....as the poster said above me, let's keep close to $40,000 a day so we can have some stretch goals and maybe fund $500,000 or $1 million over so we can have some sweet additions

Huge psychological milestone! Three weeks left to go! You're right, if we can keep around $40k per day, the final surge will push us into some nice stretch goals! Keep up the great work everyone, it is fun to be part of this great and passionate community. Lovers and haters, we couldn't do it without you!
broke a million you know what that means???! HAWAIIAN SHIRT TIME
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
If we keep funding at about 40k ish per day we will be short by about 84,000 now addmittedly thats not to much to worry about especiall on the last 2 days of funding. Yesterday was a good day, most likely some were holding out to push over the 1million mark. We need to keep having good days so that we can easily fund 2mil and then reach for stretch goals.

Or, they funded it themselves - it's not like the company is a 16 year old kid in his basement with $100 to his name. They have money.
It'll be funded, no question, even if CSE/Mark Jacobs has to pick up the tab on the difference to ensure it gets funded. Even doing so, he'd be in the black from the KS.

I don't know where kicktraq is getting its daily numbers from but they dont seem to be an accurate reflection of actual backers and pledges. For instance http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/13861848/camelot-unchained/#chart-daily
We are in day 8, we are infact exactly 5 hours into day 8 (at the time of writing). In the last 5 hours the project has raised $8,652 ($983,720.26 - $975,067.94) yet kicktraq would have us believe its more like $16,422
