Hi all. Another one of the returning players. Kind of. I played on and off for a long time. I wanted to ask the developers a pretty important question of "What can we do?" I'm asking because a lot of people are holding hope for the game. We have hope that the game will be improved and that the devs will add more content. But what else can we do but buy energy and prize boxes to support this development?

The community here loves the game. But it is no secret that running a F2P game in the current era is very very hard without heavy monetization or subscriptions. The developers need money to live and to work on this game. Stop me here if this game is simply in a "Maintenance" mode because I want to talk realistically.

I get why we have prize boxes and why rates are low. I get why 50 Radiants cost 700 energy (even though nobody probably buys them). And I definitely get why there really aren't any sales on energy or deals on OCH.

It's to get money. Grey Havens needs money because running the game costs money. Time needs to be spent working on the game - and time is money.

Money money money I feel like is what GH lacks a surplus of to make sure development doesn't take longer than it should. A small dev team with a lot of weight on their shoulders is something that makes people slightly anxious but optimistic on both sides. Nobody wants devs to HAVE to tiptoe around their community because what they do could actually make or break their paychecks. So again...

What can we do?
Fundraisers? AdventureQuest Worlds just got over 2 million dollars for doing a Kickstarter to move their entire game to a different game engine.
Subscription services?
Paid content? But how to make brand new content that people are willing to pay for when so much work has to be done?

I'm just spitballing. And you should too if you're reading this.

TL;DR What can the community do to help devs help Spiral Knights? Feel free to add any ideas!
