Extending Haven?

So, I've been playing Spiral Knights for a while now and I've noticed something. In Haven, town square, by the alchemy machine is a shovel stuck into the ground (under construction?), alongside a wall, stopping you from going to the right. You can clearly see a path extending to the right on the minimap. Also, there is an unused entrance, similar to the ones leading from town square and the bazzar. Could this mean that there will be more Haven? Post your opinion.

PS. If you're wondering why is my avatar missing, I logged in from Steam and there's an error currently not letting me upload my knight, hope this gets fixed soon

Sure. Haven expansions have

Sure. Haven expansions have happened before. I remember the good old days, when we all socialized around the alchemy machines in the Bazaar :D Also, I do recall certain developers entertaining the idea of an east haven expansion (I may be wrong).

Just as a friendly reminder, some forum dwellers tend to...pounce on threads like these. Not going to give any names. Probably don't need to, as they're most likely going to pop in.

It's not something new, it's been there since the creation of Haven 2 years ago (or even more).If they had some serious plan, they would have already completed them by now.

Its a placeholder for when they do come up with something.

Whats up with Nick interview?

Whats up with Nick interview? Did Nick said something about extending haven? Well, i remember that Nick once said that OCH will be avaliable to buy with CE but in last minute he 'changed his mind' to make it available with purchase.

A long time ago in a Preview far away...

Once upon a time that was an incomplete gateway. It read "East Haven" and had the same scrolling dots that the other transition points have now. We never could go there as it was always labeled under construction. Once the the game was launched it was walled off, but the shovel has always remained. Perhaps, like Nick said, they've got a plan for it. It's just that construction might be taking longer than anticipated.

That dummy exit in the right hand area of the Arcade was also a blocked path to the same place.

East Haven

Personally - I'm hoping for real world links to the Hall of Heroes, Guild Hall and maybe the Battle Arenas.

Yes - you can click the right combo of buttons to get there now - but it's kind of odd that these aren't actual "real world" places, especially the HoH.
You know - something nice with a statue of Alpha Squad out front.
I shouldn't have to relaunch a mission any time I want to buy a recipe. :P

It's been about a year for Guildhalls.

They've been 'extending' Haven since the beta launched.
It's been 'getting worked on right now' since then too.
Two years.

Oh no,

they are working on the Guildhall. I don't know what they're doing, but they're doing something. As for Haven... Hell if I know. It would be easy to remove the blocks preventing access to that area. But the area itself would be slightly harder to construct since it would invariably require some new models/textures. The only questions lies in how much they can get away with their current models.
