Spiral Knights(OT) - Of Online Free Game and Clockwork Gears

[CrazyT]

Just thought I should bump this thread.

I've been playing this game for a while now and surprisingly, I think I now ended up loving it way more than any MMOrpg i've ever played. Yes better than PSO. There are many reasons why I think that's the case, but it would be hard to explain. I mean it is explainable but the way you'll get it is really pouring a day or 2 into the game.

There have been many updates lately. They have added an auction house as well where you can buy and sell stuff. Soms technicalal updates as too. Check out the website's frontpage to see the updates.

I've been playing this ever since the release (not as beta tester) and have been able to see the game grow with each week or month. I am really loving it and I just wanted to express that.

Segaismysavior and Shining Dawn(which isn't online here that often) is the only one I see now and then hehe, but I hope more of you can give this game a day or two.

Just a little advice if anyone wants to start playing, you can only progress in the game with "energy". Without it you can't do shit as you need 10 energy to progress with each floor. This forces you to check every corner of any floor and get much out of it as possible. Collect enough crowns and you'll be able to buy more energy. If you do it right you can make more profit then losing. This is especially the way to go for "free" players.

Been playing this since launch. Only started paying for it last month. Been playing under the name Teddybearknight.

I need to get back in, I have another friend (fellow sega fan) who hasn't been playing much and that is why I have been absent. Once he gets his internet situation figured out and is back on I should be around more.

I still cannot get my computer to run the game, always gets stuck loading at the menu screen. It really bugs me because this seems like just the kind of game I could get into at the moment.

[Shining Dawn]

Yeah, I've been having a lot of fun with Crazytails.  

Anyway, I think Spiral Knights is a great game. Even though my PC is crap, Spiral is still an enjoyable game!

BTW, My Username in Spiral is Hangeki.

I suck at the game  :lol:

@Truesonic, Adding you

@Tora, would be nice to see you lol. I remember still being a beginner myself at the time we started together. Next time we could do some more hardcore places.

@Shining Dawn

You don't suck man. You've became pretty good actually

Update:

The game just got on steam and man... huge flood of newbies coming in. This is great stuff as the game is fuller than ever now hehe.

What's also great is that the Steam version has Steamworks features like Steam achievements. Also, people in your Steam friends list that play the game on Steam automaticly get added as your friend in the game.

And best of all, you get a free hat for Team Fortress 2 for playing the game!

EDIT: That Team Fortress 2 hat offer seems to work, it's in the top 10 most-played games now: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

Played about 2 hours worth tonight and finally got into it. Really digging the "old-school Zelda meets Warcarft" feel.

Nice to see this bumped. There has been a new patch recently that added a new boss run for tier 2. Me and shiningdawn gave it a run yesterday but the t hing lags like crazy so we died at the boss. Still pretty awesome to see content being added.

[segaismysavior]

The new boss is CRAZY. The levels are full of missles and traps, and that boss is super confusing. I beat it with a random group last night, but all I did was mostly take out the respawning bots.

Ironically, this may be Sega of America's most successful original IP, considering the speed of users signing up for it.

Recently it has got to a million. That's pretty amazing
