To all,
I am a fellow Spiral Knights player and as a lot of my friends and I'm sure many other people suffer is delay in the game.. Delay can make the game unplayable as i've stopped playing this game various amount of times due to this delay cause of there being no servers for the other percentage of people who play SK..
I really hope these new founders of Spiral Knights can do a lot of people a favour and make this game run well for everyone, im sure it'll spark the game and make more people from across the world start to play, and missions, mini games and the Auction house wont be so dead.

Thank you!

Hate to piss in another man's garden but I think we should get a few facts straight:

-Starting a new game server is a HUGE investment, kind of like purchasing a brand new car. And GH still have to do a lot to save up the money they need to start a new server.

-GH (oh look, I never have to type OOO again) have to do a lot to make sure the game will not flop on the new server, and thus they need to fix all the imbalance that were left off by OOO, namely the forge and radiant drought that basically turned the end game into an impossible grind. They also need to fix the monetization system (say, make cosmetic that I may actually buy?) and invent some kind of new reward system that will retain enough players (and the whales that come with it) to sustain the new servers in question.

-And as many GM have pointed out, GH is not reviving SK, they are merely preserving it, imagine turning a corpse into a mummy and place it in a sarcophagus to delay the decaying process, they are not hiring necromancers to bring the corpse in question back to life, just delaying the rot.

-SK lost most of its steam when it comes to advertisement, no offense, but they are not doing enough to attract new players and at this point, as a MMO so late into its life cycle, SK does not warrant any investment in the advertising department, it will just do more harm than good for this game. And as such, having a new server is no good.

You say you never have to type OOO again and then you type it 4 seconds later. -_-

Eh

Having a new oceania server would be nice for attracting a new bit of a playerbase, but as it stands they probably have higher priorities.

What I meant was I never have to place OOO in a [place the incompetent game company here] slot, their infamy will linger on though, all eyes are now on GH. Don't disappoint me guys, but that should be easy considering my already bottomed expectation.

Not true.
They already said that there will be new content.

There hasn't been a statement of them making new content, however there has been many statements claiming that they aren't necessarily just going to let the game rot.

So while it's not a "we're making new content" sort of deal, it's sort of implied, but I wouldn't get my hopes raised too high until an official statement. The casino thing looks kind of nice, but hasn't had an official announcement quite yet, so I'm holding back on any high judgements for now.

There was actually a post where they (accidentally or not i dont know) mentioned that there will be new content :)
I cant recall where but if one really wants to find it, just browse the GM posts. Shouldnt be too hard.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

In order to preserve a MMO experience, you have to maintain your playerbase. And the only way to really do that is to give the playerbase stuff to do. Therefor, they cannot preserve Spiral Knights without releasing new content.

Logic!
