This game means everything for me, and i've been playing since the elevators costed energy. It just saddens me to see no new updates and less players online and the potential of this game wasted. No pressure but please tell us if there are any new updates or anything. Try your best GH! <3
I beg you GH

they are tho
Since Grey Havens took over, there has been extensive work on the back-end of the game. Until very recently, this has been the top priority, however this does not seem to be much for "player-facing" updates. Since that back-end work is mostly completed, the creative cycle for creating game content is back in play, which can take months to years to actually go from concept to playable.
I'd love to have the community more involved with the creative process in a direct way, however there isn't too much of that currently at Grey Havens, and it sort of shows the important of having a public relations or community manager for keeping everyone in the know. The game masters are our best bet with Eurydice and Nick having moved on, but that isn't the sole focus of their job which can lead to feelings of being "left behind" when they hear us loud and clear.
I don't foresee Grey Havens dropping Spiral Knights at all - even with all the work being put into Puzzle Pirates, judging by the steam numbers, Spiral Knights is one of their most successful IPs at the moment, so ignoring it doesn't make sense, especially after all the love and care put into it.
I would be willing to bet they are working on something, but since they probably have other jobs to sustain themselves, their time must be limited.
Limited time, plus a small team, plus lack of the game's creative engine (Nick), plus lots of coding = updates that take a very long time (years if at all). If I were you I wouldn't count on updates, and enjoy the game as is. It is still awesome.
