To Preface:
For the most part, the spiral knights community wants nothing more than for the game that we all love to continue to exist, grow, and be atleast slightly successful. I, and many others, are extremely happy that GH has been updating the game, and eagerly are waiting for the java, jwgl, and future content updates that have been teased.
However....
I and many others miss the old days (even just last year), when the supply depot was interesting and exciting. Many of use were slightly let down with black friday/cyber monday listings, but even looking back at new years 2025 and early 2025 listings, this year has been a desert. I personally love this game, and love supporting it by spending a little money each month to pick up some fun accessories/costumes, and as a returning player who missed 2017-2025 listings and auctions, I wish there were a little more availability each week. Even just one special item in addition to the usual rotating discount items would be amazing. I know there are issues where GH wants some items to remain rare, but there are so many items that could be depoted/featured auctioned and not disrupt rarity.
I do know that GH is busy with behind the scenes updates and content, and that working on SK isnt their full time job, however listing one or two items a week would be amazing to enable the community to support the game, and to encourage a little bit of replayablilty. Many will disagree with me, but I know there are also many who are like me and love to log in and see neat new listings/auctions.
Now that Ive said my piece, Im excited for whats to come with this game, and am very grateful for GH's continued support of this game that i played so much in my childhood.
As of today, 1/15, we have had a single SD listing of silver personal color.
Last year in 2025, as of 1/15/2025, we had gotten the following listings
Grey Raider Horns
Shadow Key

Volcanic Halo

Cool/regal/military/heavy/fancy/dusky/toasty tailed helm

Thats 1 this year,
64 last year.
The descrepancy is absolutely massive. GH, you cannot complain or wish people spent more money on the game when you give them no reason to.
Ill update this thread each monthish to track how 2026 compares to 2025. So much for their philosophy of "distributing cyber monday flash sales across the whole year"
