I love this game. Even though a lot of people dont play this game i still enjoy it and when i turn 18 or older ( when i will have my own credit card i SWEAR i will donate 1000 $ or more because i dont want the game to die. And also i think that if there was a movie created about this game it would be the BEST movie ever. Just the epicness of it. I dont care if i would cry. I just want that to happen. See you in 3-5 years

Spiral Knights is a great game
Definitely a game that crosses the barrier between youth and adult. I'll probably have fond memories of the game well into the future.
Though I will say statements like this are probably why there's a spending limit built into the game in the first place. I'd personally say weigh the time you've invested into the game and figure out how much money you would've paid to get the same amount of fun. If you've got crazy amount of hours then it isn't too bad to throw crazy amounts of money towards a game. :)
... Just make sure it's money you have to spare. Don't wanna end up on the streets because of nostalgia.
I am pretty sure you have better ways to spend 1000 bucks than supporting a game.

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than five years Spiral Knights has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of java. It is the foremost of MMO by the will of its players, and master of thousands of P2W players by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with shifting update schedules and radio silence. It is the Carrion Lord of the MMO scene for whom a thousand of hours of human lives are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die.
Yet even in its deathless state, SK continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty prize boxes cross the micro-transaction infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant player bases, their way lit by paypal, the legal manifestation of the SK's will. Vast armies of fanboys give battle in SK's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the GMs, the overpowered administrators, bio-engineered to only give the player base cheeky replies and little else. Their comrades in arms are legion: the data slaves and their countless research sheets, the ever vigilant newbies, and the fan artists, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other better MMO games, their own self assurance, the need for more monetization - and worse.
To support Spiral Knights in such times is to spend untold thousands. It is to support the most hopeless cause imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the hope of new DLCs and gear updates, for so much has been canceled, never to be developed again. Forget the promise of cheaper crystal energy and caring about the fan base, for in the Grey Havens HQ there is only silence, prize boxes and timed events. There is no fun amongst the MMORPG, only an eternity of paying and grinding, and the laughter of former players who left SK to play better games.
SK is actually one of the best games i've ever played. Easily top 3.
And im F2P , but actually went F2W in this game ;3
Trully Spiral Knights is something else.
Considering the fact that I haven't left this game yet (albeit with long breaks) I'd say SK is one of my favorite games as well. It just has that feeling to make me keep coming back.
Haven't found a game that is quite as fitting to my tastes. Very nice game. Every game has its pros and cons, this one just happens to be slow update schedule and quirky servers, but it is somewhat manageable.
I agree. Spiral Knights is my favorite video game.
