I realize that they might already have plans for this but I don't know about them so...

There should be more outside Haven.

There could be other towns with different PvP games or even just challenges and obstacle courses. They could be part of the Krogmo Coliseum only with different challenges. There could be some sort of race through a maze with traps and monsters.

there could be a Tournament Grounds where people pay money to enter and every month the best players get some sort of reward or medal or sword. it could even be held every year and be like Jousts in medieval times.

The paths to the different towns could be like the path to the rescue camp at the beginning of the game. Random monsters could pop up in different places. there could be towns with tier 3 monsters in the path so that tier two and one people can't get through or would need an escort or something. there could even be the chance of rare epic monsters that drop rare epic items kinda like the black kats or something. there could be a maze like jungle with gates hidden inside that bring you to rare epic monsters. They could just be levels like in the clockworks only with more of a puzzle oriented things so that players actually have to think to figure out the way through and if they go wrong they don't get to the next down elevator or don't get the final boss or something. Maybe ranging into the jungle could be regulated by needing a ranger pass or a hunting licence from the spiral HQ that costs CE or CR.
There could also be new prestige missions. maybe one of the locals who is living in the jungle needs a delivery from Haven. or maybe the supply vehicles need to be protected as they go from town to town. or maybe a local farmer has wolvers eating his livestock. or the merchant in town needs some materiels from the jungle.
Or it could be like quests and when you help out the local farmer he gives you something for your troubles.

I'm just sort of spouting out ideas as they come and could go on forever so i'll stop now.

Oh I have an Idea

I didnt read the whole post so you might have said this, but where do the minerals go? We could have a minigame for smelting minerals into whatever the skylark needs, which would be rewarded with some crowns, but not too much.

Well...

The minerals go to the clockworks, that's how the arcade gates change. You already get crowns for that...

And as for cities outside of haven, I also thought it would be interesting, but T2 and T3 monsters would never be on the surface of cradle, they only lurk in the depths of the clockworks (so the trail-missions are a no-go). And I would actually prefer more detail :P do you have a concept, or even a name for these cities? What are their denizens? The general concept seems fun but for anyone to take your suggestion seriously, you're gonna have to have some developed ideas...

I'm sure Nick and the crew have already begun thinking of ideas for ways to expand the Spiral Knight universe, either through deeper levels, more cities, or perhaps even other planets. But until then, we'll just have to wait and see :)

More towns would be empty.
If the servers only held 1 world it could work. But right now we have like 30 instances of Haven.

There are, on average, 12

There are, on average, 12 English Havens at any given time (rough estimate...although I am an estimation savaant). Of these 15, 1-6 are full at quiet-busy hours (Haven cap is 30 players, I'm fairly sure), at least ((havencount-fullhavens)*0.6) are usually empty, or have one or two people, and the rest have varying values.
The Haven count can drop down to as low as 6, and can rise past 18. However, when there are a lot of havens, the majority of them are empty.

The havens with ridiculous numbers are Havens for different languages. The most populated haven for any given non-English language vary rarely has any more than 8 people in them at any given time.
