Hi!!

I have played Spiral Knights 80 hours or so, and I just had the elevator day only once.
Free elevator day is awesome, I was able to do JK run 10 times, so I do want the free elevator days more.

So I got a question, how often do the free elevator days exist?
You don't have to answer exactly, just tell me your experiences to a Knight Elite!

Thanks!!

Meh

This was the first time elevators were free. Usually they're just at reduced (half) cost, and they haven't done that in a LONG time.

Wouldn't mind if they'd do it again.

I was away on vacation at the time they hosted the event (I still deserve those two damn free elevator days) And haven't seen many Power Surge events.

So, on that note, they usually just host these events after something goes terribly wrong, or they're feeling like giving a little extra to the community while they work on the bigger picture.

Processing Thoughts of You Always

That was a one-off event as a result of hitting a certain number of players... they decided to have a mini celebration/bump the price of CE (delete as necessary according to whether you're a conspiracist or not).

Normally you get half-price elevator deals. I think the last of these was at Christmas, when the new update caused some epic lag problems. They decided to compensate temporarily by cutting elevator costs, although they eventually managed to fix the actual issues about four hours later. I don't even know when the one before THAT was...

"They can occur forever if you only desire so."

30 days of free elevator for only 5.95$, that's like a subscription to Spiral Knights. Awesome and totally affordable. Too bad it can't be purchased with mobile phone; good way to cleanse extra credits..

@Aureate No, I don't think it

@Aureate
No, I don't think it was Christmas. I joined in early January and I remember having half priced elevators sometime in March. Wait, wasn't there half priced elevators when the new rescue camp came out? Those snipes got stuck in the gears and no one could log on.
