Now, I'm not sayin' right away or if this'll even settle well with the community, just a thought since promos have left a bit of a sour taste in some players' mouths. Thanks, Sega, for using SK as a cash cow then dumping it. :l NOT.

We all know that Grey Havens is not-for-profit which means no one is backing them financially except for the playerbase - us. Also understand that I know that they haven't said yay or nay to new content for SK and it is still very early to expect anything, including ideas for new content, but it's just a thought. What if they did a kickstarter of some sorts to get Grey Havens started?

For instance, they could have a cash goal or something. "If the community reaches $xxxx, we'll add (insertfeaturehere) to Spiral Knights!" I think GH would be able to keep up with ideas like this provided the developers know they can code said proposed feature into the game. The idea here is, the playerbase wants new content the most. If they get funds, funds means they have cash to keep things running (general costs, paying developers etc.), keeping things running means development which might mean new content.

Ideas will be listed here. These are just ideas - not something that GH needs to do at all if they decided to do a kickstarter though it certainly would appeal to the community.

• A supporter shrine of sorts - to commemorate those who donated large amounts to GH for the kickstarter.
• Regarding the cancelled project, since it was for a mobile game, see if elements of it could be implemented into SK itself?

Potential downfalls will be listed here.

• GH might not keep their word with the development after the funds are obtained
• A kickstarter could be seen as P2P. It might turn F2Ps off to the idea, those who can't/don't want to spend money on the game.

Thoughts? Criticisms? Absolutely hate this thing and want to post your abhorrence of it? Got some ideas to add to this? I'm all ears!
