I just logged on a few minutes ago and received a 7-day Elevator Pass Gift, completely out of the blue. I thought maybe this was an Anniversary Gift or something, so I logged off and then back on, this time with my brother's account, but didn't receive anything. He even confirmed he hadn't gotten any gift.
So am I just lucky or something? I really didn't do anything. Heck, neither of us have really been playing all that much and he's been the more active one since we came back a week ago.
Why didn't I receive a gift? Which players are targetted by this gifting operation? What's the reason for giving away gifts out of nowhere?
Answers plex.
The gift is only described as a "Gift from the Skylark to you."
-We cannot currently draw any conclusions from this until more information is given.
It could perhaps be a reward to veteran players or those who have bought things in the past.
ive bought stuff (packs and elev passes) and 2 year vet for sk havn't got anything from skylark
I got nothing. /cry
Ive played since Steam release, prob spent more than 50$ and Im vanguard with 45k prestige
Same here, can confirm 14 day pass received through mail system.
Same remark as Dameonn. It's clearly not a veteran reward; maybe it's a reward for vanguards who achieved more than 45k prestige, can we check that somehow by having people confirming wether or not they fit that category when they obtained the gift?
Nope, not prestige related. Maybe it's playtime related?
Canozo would have gotten it if that were the prerequisite. We should assume that this is a random thing until we can find a correlation between these gifts and the ones that recieve them.
-Tell us your prestige, rank, and money history. Find the connection.
isn't linked to prestige, some player's alt got the pass too
maybe something with accounts created before the release on steam
Confirm it's not prestige related. My guildmate just got one and he's at 9990 prestige. He's F2P and hasn't accessed to test server or anything.
This just seems to be random.
I'm still a Squire...left the game before prestige came around. No prior purchases, not even a single piece of 5* gear, grand total of 2 days' time played total.
Not sure if it's pre-Steam related, either, because my brother signed up for the game a few weeks before I did.
Well, prestige or not, I'm glad I got it. Thank you, Three Rings. :D
i didnt get anything. >:(
maybe they want you to use it to get used to it and buy one yourself . :3
I got one too, a 14 day ele pass. From the looks of it, random players are being choosen. I could be wrong though but it might be possible.
IDK, but i guess something have gone serious wrong. would be nice if a GM explains the random elevator pass giveaway
To make people feel what it's like to be on a pass. So they actually buy one later.
I wonder why i was choosen yet i am a P2P player, (Brought CE to get to 4*/5* and i buy an ele pass monthly.) maybe i just got lucky.
Now that we have a bunch of people who can farm more... CE inflation spike inbound?
that's why i guess something gone wrong...with this giveaway, the CE price will go the the heavens
Oh god, that's a good point. I still remember it being 9K back near the end of 2012, around christmas.
I got one too, 50k prestige, playing since almost steam release and 2124h played.
this is strange, isn't linked to something, was totally random. isn't linked to game time or prestige, because some alts got the pass, or a reward to P2P players, because some F2P got the pass too. only thing i know for sure is: the economy will get messed up for a time. like i said before, would be nice if a GM clarify this.
I guess we got it because OOO liked our names...? I really can't see a common factor between the "winners".
All 8 of my alts got a pass but my main didn't. :<
I got a 14 day pass (over 15k prestige and way too many hours in SK). I have also paid at least 20 bucks into this game awhile back.
One of my friends, who has never paid anything into this game also got a 14day, and he had been inactive for 1 month (until I asked him to check his mail to check). Curious indeed.
Maybe it's just a way for OOO to pacify us? or just to get more players playing (hopefully) the clockworks. In reality, it just means more profit from vana/JK/twins runs :/
That's odd I did get 14 days for free, haven't been playing lately, so maybe its to get customers to return :P
I've opened tickets, never used a pass, spent a lot before, low prestige because I haven't completed the missions yet, that's all I can think of
this giveaway is nice, but will make the CE price rise. the situation will get pretty bad quick.
How OOO must feel right now: http://cdn.grantgalitz.org/bees.gif
I actually got one and just checked my two alts and they also got them as well... one's t2 and the others t1 both low prestige. Maybe random is just random?
I got a 14 day ele pass but I didn't get any on my alts (who are new because I came back in November)
I dunno... Maybe it's for older knights?
How long have you played on each of your character who got a present?
I'm at 1477 hours on my main who got one
and 150 hours on my alt who didn't get one...
Not really, I've been playing since 5 days after SK's official release, yet I didn't get an ele pass.
no, isn't linked to played game time, because some alts of some player got the pass
maybe OOO want to say something to us, like: the skylark is almost fixed and we are close to open and get the ship full operational.
\e grabs popcorn
WHERE'S MINE? :(
(11 days for my birthday and I haven't got one :( )
Maybe someone got mad at SK and hacked them, then proceeded to send free elevator passes to players
/tin foil hat on
And it thought it was for my birthday (who's on Monday)... or because I helped the game in some way I did not know... or whatever...
Nope, random luck
At first your like: Yipeeeeeeeee
Then you go: why? I don't get it
My alt didn't get one and I didn't get one. Guess I'm still not playing Spiral Knights.
Okay, it's not money history, game time, prestige, or age.
I know this because my younger brother who has not been playing for as long as me, about 3 months difference, also bought the same CE pack as me and who is a lower rank than me, got one....
WHYY!!!!!!!
D: No the real true its... OOO its gathering and buying the souls of few people with Ele passes so they can say OOO its a good company.. so when the real fight comes... they will defend OOO agaisnt those people who are agaisnt OOO and the.. the end of the times will begin...
Nah just messing around.
Enjoy the ele passes the lucky ones :) a guildie got one and he dont have lot of prestige so this pure luck nothing related to prestige or time.
but can we expect a forum rage?? i doubt it
"maybe OOO want to say something to us, like: the skylark is almost fixed and we are close to open and get the ship full operational.

If Skylark IS coming then what the hell is going to happen to sk? will we travel to different near by planets? or will we dive the ship into deeper in clockworks and rip open the core?....... either way "/me steal popcorn" im waiting to see they got for us and it better be something good -.-
Yeah, it seems to be a very random thing as for as I can tell for talking to people in sk. I got this.... http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081137251580546315/B2715BD445456901...
