on November the 2nd 2012 I logged on to spiral knights to find my crowns were on a negative number (-5310 to be exact). this did not bother me as i thought it would reset to my previous amount (5310).
the day before i crafted a "scary skelly shield" with energy i bought for 9000 crowns (approx).the craft took longer that usual so i closed the crafting window and opened it again to craft the item. again it took longer to craft and later crashed the game.I logged back on to see that i still had the 100 crystal energy and and the crowns. i tried crafting but the game responded with "not enough energy" so i bought more energy. I successfully crafted the shield and logged off.
I also tried playing through the "toy soldiers" mission with a friend and two other players. the level started as usual but when i tried to collect some crowns from a defeated enemy the game froze. my friend whose game did not crash claimed that he was stuck in another player's avatar despite being able to move through other players. later he logged off.
I hope the bug will be fixed and everything will go back to the way it is.
if it is useful I was also logged in through "steam" and to make sure that the game did just have some kind of simple glitch I found that I have no crowns at all. my friend, who was also using steam, did not have any problems with his account.later I could not do any of the missions only those that i have completed previously, including prestige missions.
this has affected my only knight in the game: Ysgmir
(P.S: if something like this has happened to you make sure you post a bug report. this is a potentially game breaking bug that could ruin the game for those affected. I sure do hope a gm sees this...)
tl;dr
-5310 crowns, unable to start missions, glitchy crafting, affecting only Ysgmir
here is the album on imgur showing some of the affects of the glitch.

and for the sake of myself someone comment on this and not on those accessory type thing nor the drunk npc stuff. it's not serious and most likely will not deter customers from spiral knights. I will also do a daily bump for the sake of keeping this alive and so the gms/devs will see this.
I bid you farewell person reading this.
BUMP.
