Get rid of the frostbite lockdown map it lags twice as much as all the other maps. All the other maps lag a mega ton anyway even with 3 bars (what is bars anyway computers aren't cell phones, show a real ping in milliseconds like everyone else, you might argue its for kids who don't know better, well stop dumbing it down so kids can learn).
Fix the dumb mistakes you have in your game. I mean it still says "2xKrogmo coins" with no space every time you win a bribe game. It's like you've never actually played your game. Which is completely true.
Fix the weapon switching. If you're charging a weapon and you switch weapons don't just stop charging, switch weapons. Don't force the player to wait for the server to say you can switch weapons, do it client side so lag doesn't affect it. This is like game design 101 here and you've failed. You don't want people to give you harsh feedback about the game sucking all over the forums, then perhaps you should look into fixing all the stupid bugs that are everywhere.
It's clear the only thing you value is money as evidenced by your outlandish prices on things like new content, shadow keys? I mean seriously, lets add a bunch of new content then charge $5 every time a group wants to play it. Every time, if that's not a money grab I don't know what is. Protip: you'll get more satisfied players if you make content more available, and have more of it. Satisfied players = more people willing to spend money. Who knows maybe I'll spend a penny on this game then, ok right I won't never have never will but it's still true.
But ultimately you guys don't even listen to your players. And this will never even get read, if it does it'll just be censored because that's the kind of people Three Rings are, feel free to prove me wrong. If you did listen, you'd have added anti lag when the game first came out after you realized you were dumb and didn't design it into the game. Or you would have realized it when people like this posted: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/23193
He's got the right idea, and obviously he must be smarter than you because otherwise you would have implemented such a simple algorithm to extrapolate objects position at a given time, and adjusted for lag. And if you can't implement it due to architecture of the network system, then that system is fundamentally flawed and should be scrapped and rewritten. I mean these algorithms have been used in computer gaming for more like 2 decades now, and the math easily is a century old. It's 2012 get with the times.
There's so much you could do if you actual cared to make something you would actually play, instead of sitting back and laughing at the people who pay real money for the excrement of your rear end.

If you're leaving can I have your stuff?
And- the frostbite map doesn't lag that much more for me. Its a terrible map IMO, but thats just an opinion, and isn't anything to complain about, just preference. I prefer the clockworks over LD anyway.
The latest content that was released was all to drive down the price of the energy that makes them money. Be happy that they didn't make the featured auctions cost CE, or that the explorer pack didn't give 4 weeks of epass, 500 ce and a slightly gray tinted chapeau of the overused rose model. OOO knows what they are doing, most of the time.
They listen to the players, but taking action on issues that arise is a very difficult thing. OOO cannot go through every good suggestion, and fix up the game, when they're focusing on fixing the in game economy to keep the community going and growing. And if they don't help the economy, then the game will die.
And they do read these things. Though if they reply, it puts a huge flag that says THE DEVS HAVE BEEN HERE! READ IT! So it doesn't surprise me that they don't reply back very often.
But yes, I'd agree that OOO could and probably should do more.
