well, i'm new to this and i've waited fo my energy to refill, but low and behold my energy is still at 0 >_> i'm sitting here thinking what the heck? shouldnt it refill over time? like it SAID it would? what do i do because i don't have the money to just purchase energy. it said this was a FREE game, not a game that false promises and then makes you buy things in order to play

All unpaid accounts on a given computer share mist energy, but once you buy CE, your account will get its own mist.
If you pay for CE, even the smallest 75 cent package, you will not share mist energy with other accounts on your computer anymore. So if you have a family member who also wants to play, I suggest you each buy some CE so you get your own mist energy rather than sharing.
What I was wondering, is it SAME COMPUTER or is it SAME IP? My roommate has seen me playing this is and is interested too, so if the whole thing is keyed to IPs we're rather, well, bummed.
the issue is, i've waited. i used my mist energy tank, so idk what to do now. i cant afford to buy energy every time i turn around though. so it renews itself over 24 hours all together and not in small quantities?
Your mist tank should be refilling in 22 hours, not 24, and it refills over time. You should gain one mist every 13.5 minutes or so. It's not a particularly rapid refill, but you should be able to play in the morning then come back in the afternoon for a few more levels. If you are not gaining mist and no one else on your computer is playing and thus using up the mist you generate, you should file a bug report.
Unless it's a bug, you should definitely have seen some refill by now. One possibility is that you haven't noticed that there are two meters yet. When I started I saw the Crystal Energy one, but didn't notice the mist bar under it, so though I didn't have any energy left. I hadn't been tracking it before that point, and have my screen windowed, so the mist one is sort of cut off. That's the only other thing I can really think of.

Cite?
Because, man, I really want this to be true, and it's totally believable to me.... Would let the lady and I both swap machines and the such. But I'm naturally leery of jumping in, just in case, y'know?
EDIT: Found it on the wiki. WHOOOOOOO!
It's possible you jinxed yourself with that name.
But energy refill mechanics: Over the course of 24 hours, you will accumulate 100 Mist Energy. (That's logged in OR out.)
Another thing that gets people.
Due to an effort to stop certain types of play, Spiral Knights does have one other thing.
All accounts on the SAME COMPUTER use the SAME mist energy. Got a family member that plays on your comp? Yeah, you and them sharing mist energy.
