Yes I remember the exact time!

It was 4 am (game time) on April 4th 2011, that I crash landed on Cradle. I've seen our advancements on Cradle and sadly seen too many knights simply give out and and just jump head first into the Core to never be seen again. Perhaps one day we will recover these lost souls and overcome the Seed.
And since I have no recollection of Isora, our home planet, I'm enjoying Cradle quite well. I only wonder if there is another place on the face of this planet besides Haven.

I say, let's go beyond Haven.

I say, let's go beyond Haven. Surely the Arcade isn't the Northern most part of Cradle... planets are round ya know.

I think I've seen a picture of Cradle where one half looks evil and the other much like a haven. I wanna know what's in Anti-Haven, not the Core or the depths between. Or in a recent thought... "Beyond the Core" - in the sense of the other half of the planet.

I own a Red Chapeau.

My counter says 1 year and 28 weeks. I know I joined some time after beta ended. I still like playing Spiral Knights, especially in the summer time when I don't have school.

Its hard to believe its been 1 year and 10 weeks since i first set foot on cradle. My time here has sure been adventurous and i can tell its just the begging of more good times to come!

I joined shortly before the steam release, however long that is.

I think it's the only fun MMO I've ever played.

1 year-35 weeks.

I've been around since the beginning, I'm talking when, after you ran out of energy there was nothing to do XD. I've seen every update slowly change haven from a small ragtag colony, to a bustling village bursting with life..I still love SK, I love that OOO is working so hard to bring us stuff we have been asking for since the beginning. Doing large updates with long wait times, rather than small updates with small wait times is no problem with me ^_^
The only thing that depresses me whenever I log on, is my ghost town of a guild, Order of Venus R.I.P, we will be back SK...someday.

Don't worry, Erri is always sarcastic.

1) Just after the first Dark Harvest Festival ended, which is to say November 1st 2011; I was miffed about missing out on the masks.
2) I like it just fine, thanks for asking!

I've been playing the game for like 10 minutes now, I really miss the good old days when the loading screen was still up... and then when I first pressed a button and my knight did something.

Good question :P

Since June of 2011, I came in during the Steam promotion. Never heard of Spiral Knights until it was on the front page of Steam. It was a great time to join, CE prices were down, elevators were half-priced on some days and you could loop arenas instead of doing boss runs to earn crown. Met a lot of funny and interesting players from all over the world. During those months the feeling of euphoria was so high, I found myself sinking in $20 to buy their promotion pack.

Spiral knights is a good game and compared to most games I have played there is a lot more socializing then there is gaming. I don't play as much as I did when I started but I do put in some time on the weekends with a cup of coffee. For a F2P game the CE system is restrictive, so I understand the plights of many players here. 100 energy maybe substantial for casual gamers roaming tier 2, but for those looking to explore everything very quickly - you have to purchase CE. Now that I'm at the end game, I do two or three activities, then log off for couple days.

My advice to new players would be to take your time exploring. There is no need hurry. The reason you see posts about the game dying or lack of content are due to players reaching the end game. Since I been gone I have missed 3 updates. The latest being the Garrison update. If you need a game to take up a whole day, this game isn't going to come cheap. But I do see myself playing the game for a long time. Not logging on for 6 months doesn't mean I quit :P.

I joined around the first

I joined around the first week after its release and have been playing since. That period of my Spiral career was especially addictive and I was playing with my friends constantly, every day. We had a blast.

I, like most veterans, was a little disappointed to see some enemies nerfed, like the Retrodes, Zombies and Wolvers, but some were also buffed in the process. Jelly Cubes gained piercing damage, Chromalisks gained piercing damage, Wolvers gained piercing damage and became devastating foes before their trajectory was tampered with, and Devilites gained shadow damage and is arguably the toughest enemy-type out there when found in groups.

I also miss the times when it was all about the Arcade. Running through random levels with a random party could be extremely fun or extremely aggrivating depending on those you ended up with, but it was without a doubt an incredibly social feature that made this gem of a game really shine. Missions overshadowed the Arcade with easier boss access and being generally more rewarding and hosting some unique level-designs. Today you're not likely to find many parties running about in the Arcade and the Haven Arcade is pretty deserted. I hope that they will once again find a way to bring focus back to the Arcade though with the Missions as they are it is going to be a high hurdle.

I guess this is what one could consider the dark age of Spiral Knights but I am hoping that it will take a turn for the better at some point, we just need to be patient. All in all though, like the game a lot.

been around since June 19 2011

I do like this game, the graphics are easy on the eyes, very relaxed setting. It was nice going through the clockworks with people, seeing many different paths and levels, even in the same gate. Also like how clean this game is, some just go too far with the content a lot of times. I did enjoy this game a lot more when I first started though.

Like many have already mentioned, there's not much to do endgame. Getting the equipment you want is a good portion of the game, and after that there really isn't much. Balance could be better, but that goes for the vast majority of games too.

Joined around October 20, 2011. A bit after Pumpkin King was put in.

The day before my aniversery, I conquered the Clockworks deathless in one run. WOO HOO

So yeah, I obviously like this game If I'm still playing it :L It's fun and the music is wonderful. I did take a hiatus a bit after Missions came out, but I came back in pretty well, I'd say.

Jun 19, 2011. Trollinyou is really trolling me. meh.

Game is awesome, though I can't say the same to newcomers.

Ce prices rise from 4k that time to 7k now. A big bane (nanana) to newcomers, but hay, missions were what sparked it.

I have been here since June

I have been here since June 2011, that's about 2 months after the official release. But I played for one month and took a rest till October 2011, then I started playing again till now. Hmm....That's about 1 year and 7 months.

And I don't really like the game, I am FOND of it. Most of the people I know, told me that the game is silly and for kids, but I always ignore them :3

@Rabeet:
I don't recall. I just remember posting on one of your threads about Knight names and then a few days later I see you in game. It probably was your main, however.

EDIT: @Xxdragneel: That sounds strikingly familair to someone else know in game... Nah, you couldn't be that person.
