The commons (a new haven zone)
I've mad a brief mention of the commons before but I think it deserves its own place in haven for reals.
Its really rather simple, it would be a new area across from the bazaar on the other side of haven (that's to the right of the auction house) upon entry there would be three new zones to enter.
- The Inn
- The Guild Hall
- The Dorms
This is still a WIP its an area where new knights without guildies or too many friends can go to socialize and re cooperate after delving into the clockworks.
For a long time players have cried out for a normal entry way and customization options for the guild hall. Well guildhalls would now be accessible via a new gate in the commons and would bring you directly to your guildhall!
Knights need a place to call their own so why not have a building where knights can go into their own private customizable rooms where they can display their artifacts and socialize with close friends without interruption from others.

This would be a great idea for a place where knights hang out!

This isn't Club Penguin.(dorms)
Inn, Maybe......
Guild hall, YES!!!!
i once dreampt about there being houses somewhere in haven so i really want them but do have to pay to get one probobly gonna be yes cause free homes, when do u see that ever happen

What do you mean. Club Penguin (well when I was 6), did not have dorms, but igloos.
dorms would just be like apartments for knights its more borrowed from phantasy star universe but whatever

Actually I would prefer if there were no dorms. I mean we have got The Inn, have we not?

I already +1 the "city expansion" of Haven, so I will also +1 this. This may be a pretty cool add, and again, been requested from quite some time.

I would just say that we live in pods instead of houses......
yea they were kind of a last minute idea, but it would be nice to have a place to speak with friends within the game without interruption. I've considered that the room you rent out at the inn could service as this but the fact that its mist ventilated might make an unstable room cost due to the fact of people inviting friends into a room they bought cheap, while if you raise the price of a room you leave out people who are going solo.
So perhaps you could purchase a room in the inn and specify the size and player capacity which would raise the price.

Fuuuu, DORMS?
You getting tricky, sneaky foxes. Naming things in diffrent way, new way to smuggle silly ideas into game?
While i like guildhalls, not sure about inn, seems bit pointless to me, houses are most silly thing ever appeard in forums.
Ill dont remember where there was very accurate opinion about bringing houses to SK, but it involved words: we are knights, something about little girls sandboxes and ill personally add a part bout knights are meant to fight not doing house duties.
DORMS = Houses Behold! ----------------------1
@spyash
no I think the dorms would be personal rooms
@asukalanforum
I've never heard of any houses in spiral knights, tovvok suggested the dorms because it is much like the apartment system in phantasy star universe which I agree with and wouldn't be such a terrible thing. But it seems it serves no purpose that a guildhall couldn't; other than to hold uninterrupted conversations, which isn't too big. But if you consider spiral knights have the ability to sleep when idle, why not give them a place to sleep, they obviously have a limited stamina of sorts with energy; they aren't endlessly fighting killing machines.
Yay my post was linked. <3
+1 to this...The Inn idea is commendable but still needs a bit of work; The Dorms idea isn't bad...although I think if the GH had a visiting system then it wouldn't be necessary.
