Check the media section of the SK site. Check the bottom left screenshot. The sealed sword there is the old, green version. A lot of these images have been there for a long time, too. Interesting.... :P

Oh, and the About is old. This is a beta image, and on top of that, it lies in a way. See this excerpt:

Filled with strange machinery powered by Minerals claimed from the worlds below, Haven's Arcade is used by the Spiral Knights to build their own gates that cut unique paths into the underground Clockworks. (No two gates are alike!)

False with all the missions floating around, giving you the same thing, ain't it? Meh, just something I wanted to point out.

Most older players have said the game was better back then.

Maybe the idea is to show the golden days while we live in corroded bronze.

I believe that fully purple/pink proto gear was the old jelly armor. Just like the guy dressed like a skeleton was the old Skelly set.

Biznasty tells me a lot of stories about the beta days and it just makes me wish I was around for them. I joined in the beginning of September in 2011 as a Steam user. I missed out on a lot of amazing stuff.

The spiral knights media page is terribly out of date:

The Zombie mask is the old

The Zombie mask is the old Skelly helm and I think the unknown helmet is the old Angelic.

@Dukeplatypus

Yes, I think that is the old angelic.

Oh yeah, and menders used to be able to attack. They had a ranged ember bold and a smack thing. The smacking was terrible in T2/T3 because it went sooo fast. Some people reported dieing without warning.

Menders were nerfed, right?

Attacking Healers used to fight in official game, correct? cuz i think i remeber some of it. but i think it was just a little while that they attacked and then were nerfed.
(i came around a few days prior to most nerfing)

Angelic was so cool before, shame they redesigned them.

That wierd thing sticking out of the head was obviously a makeshift halo before they had the resources or time to fully implement a glowing partical/light effect.

@Canine-Vladmir
If I remember correctly, healers never could attack. The only exception to this was a bug, where they swung their 'staff'/wrenches and managed to deal damage to knights...............

@Hexzyle
Don't know about you, but I like the makeshift halo ^^
