Yes I know this has been pointed out nearly 1/0 times but I still wanna say, in any chance Asia pacific will get a server, just like Europe? Well BTW HONG KONG have their own server, banning IPs within Taiwan and HK just to force players to play at GAMECYBER. ALONG WITH their brilliant translations such as 'storm driver' they translated 'driver' into an actual person, as in a career a peron who 'drives' making a gun look like a car? Or mist TANKS into actual TANKS tha can shoot and run over poor kids playing ld with 1 bar? This game is nearly unplayable in Australia, in maps we get lag spikes, that fine I'm a gunner I know how to troll around shooting mobs without them hurting me, yes I do get slags hitting me in shields and spanked by trolljans before seeing the 'smash' animation, but thats fine, as long as the game is playable, and with a bit of 'skill' 1 bar is meaningless. I mean the latency isn't apparent unless there are external factors, such as it's raining, I live in an old suburb in Australia, we get telstra copper wires running underneath our house therefore rain really matters.
But when it comes to lockdown lol, complete chaos. If I'm lucky, lag will not result in anything that effects gameplay, such as sometimes i still get killed by someone who's not on the screen or seeing animations after getting killed, fair enough because I'm Aussie and getting tortured by lag is kind of inavitable. Well if I'm unlucky, such as it's raining, my parents are using skype, i Don't play LD at all, because all i can see is players spammed out everywhere, running through walls, opponents running in OUR ready room for some reason and nice triple+ GF swings that kills me without me even noticing. Also polaris spammers always own me, 6 shoots from 1 gun wow.
Recently I heard from a friend who lives in Hong Kong, complaining about SK not allowing him to create new accounts forcing him to join Gamecyber's Spiral Knights, he had to use a VPN thing to register new accounts, this is like sticking a gun in one's face calling the person 'go there, belong there!' Whats the point of doing this? The next step is possibly banning all IPs from HK and Taiwan (thank god not mainland China because I have to go there after High School Certificate test) which all greedy companies do (at least in that area, sigh).
http://sk.gamecyber.net/sub/notices/2012-06-15_n1.html Here is gamecyber's webpage, where's our asia server? I think playing on an Asian server will get me at least 2 bars instead of constant 1, or is SK really gonna be separated, one Asia group and the rest of the world including other players from Japan, India, Australia ect playing on a red dot? This is so funny. Why will OOO give permission for someone to run SK in HK instead of simpily giving Asia a server for all? The answer is apparent.
And in addition just for fun, for those who know a bit Chinese can try changing steam's language to Chinese, either simplified or traditional (the tranlations are in traditional CNS), look through your own or friend's SK inventory and have a good laugh. That's what I enjoy after lagging like a headless fly. :P
Still if someone can possibly answer my question, when will Asia (SEGA is Japanese company lololol the irony) or at least Australia get a server, actually a server in any part of this region will be fine. I love SK, I'm not gonna quit just because of lag.
ok now for some lol translations, (to be honest it is coming out better than the old ones, no more 'deconstructor' bombs translated into 'military ships' that run on sea and smash invaders, especially whiniy kids like me <3

As you can see they show the same name, which is 'fire baked hat' lol, nothing to do with vog cubs, gamecyber translaters probably saw the set is in fire and assumed that was the result of an oven or BBQ.

Here it says storm driver, but 'driver' has more than one meaning, they turned it into the person 'driving' something rather than an actual gun! lmao I can drive storm, I'll punish those who decided to give me 19/20 for my English essay with lightning.

lolz it says 'shivering mist cannon' for shiver and 'poison snake cannon' for VV, i didn't know SK has cannons? Time to pick them up, load it and blast vanaduke out of the clockworks, btw where's my RPG, I'd rather use an RPG! :p
http://imgur.com/7ak4u MIST TANK
wth is this 'smoke grenade' as it says in CNS, we havs smoke grenades? Time to throw some at those gun puppies to blind them and maybe smash them with our shivering mist cannons. Below it says 'fill your smoke grenades, one use only!' wow in SK we have smoke grenade bars, special ability, more effective than niTROLLnomes!

Saying something like 'desease/cancer needle giant cannon' i mean the first bit makes perfect sense, but wut 'giant cannon'? use autogun instead it makes sense and the translations doesn't have to be 100% based on original English text.

Saying 'sword of super impulse wave' making no sence at all, first its not a sword nonetheless valiance has a small 'swordlike tip', and whats with the 'impulse wave' it's a gun not a nuke bomb or any weird minecraft circuits such as clocks designed to lag the hell out of old computers.
Screenshots provided by my friend, he's currently loling and crying at retardely clever translations on GAMECYBER SK:

Apparently when you click on your name when in a team, it says (top to bottom) "team options (fair enough), lock party (yep), "LEVEL YOURSELF UP" (that has nothing to do with go solo) and leave team.
Obviously we know that going solo results all heat loss, which is the opposite of their genius translations. And we all know in SK there's no leveling features of a character (we are not pokemon), so their translations doesn't make sense at all. Inaccurate, wrong, unreliable...)

This made my day:
It says: Unknown command /help. Use /help to list all commands.
Nice noobs will just keep on typing /help.

"terms of service"
But they used the word "service" incorrectly, they don't even know proper chinese, a "契约" occurs between lets say: an owner and a slave, or in fantasy games, a character and a summoned monster. WTH so whoever is playing on their servers are whether slaves or monsters.
It is possible.
