Hi everyone, I'd like to take a moment and let you know what sort of new features to expect in Spiral Knights.

We've had a great launch so far, lots of new players have had a chance to experience the world of Cradle and more are emerging from their pods every day. It's quite exciting! Better yet, response has been very positive from the worlds outside Cradle known as the Internet. We look forward to more of it.

One of the features we've heard loud and clear from our community has been a need for a better means of trading. We recently added the trade channel in chat and today made a change that broadcasts trade chat across all instances of Haven. We do however have something bigger in the works.

While no specific time frame can be stated at this time, please know that we are developing an Auction House where unbound items may be bought and sold. It should make finding the gear, materials and recipes you need much easier.

Speaking of items, you should be seeing some new ones in the very near future.

We will also be expanding upon the story of the Spiral Knights and the lost members of the Alpha Squad.

Beyond that we are hard at work on new worlds for you to explore, filled with new monsters and dangers. The Clockworks are an ever-changing world and we are committed to ensuring that there will always be some pocket of the world left unexplored, some perilous quest in need of a brave knight.

Stay tuned!
