Make many friends and don't act like an arzzz in LD xD
Buy an energy pack for everyone and we'll love you and let you win every LD match.
Be yourself. Make friends. Be in a guild. Get good in LD. Get good in Boss Missions.
I can't guarantee my suggestions, but the point is, your friends should recognize you for your skill at the game, likewise towards guildies.
Don't try to make it happen, I tried that 6 months after playing, sure I was well known, but nobody liked me :/
Fame is not everything, but it is a nice feeling.Just keep playing the game, and don't be a jerk. Unless you want to be famous for being a jerk, then be the jerkiest jerk there is.

It was funny that someone from a PvP guild said to me "Hey we completed FSC SL no rez!" like it was an accomplishment... I mean it was great for him, but for me... it's standard. I do SL no rez all the time with my guildmates, we are a PvE guild (and it shows when chit-chatting with PvP guilds)
Recognition in LD and recognition in CW is not the same thing at all...
Being liked and being recognize is two different thing. I don't know anybody who will enter Haven and *everybody* will greet him/her... A lot of *good* LD player will get hated for their UV and their skills... While *good* CW player will get asked to go on missions and whatnot with everybody (since you are so good) and you will rage because you will get invited each time you log into SK from someone you don't know and don't care because they can't even do FSC on their own
All in all just be yourself and be nice. <---- doesn't mean giving cr/ce to any beggars, just be a nice person overall...
A wise man once said on youtube, people get famous in gaming in one of two ways:
1. Be insanely good at a game.
2. Be insanely bad and clueless at a game, but be funny about it.
@ Klipik
There's a problem with that.
Being insanely good at a game can get people to be suspicious if you use AT or a hack XD
Tirelessly make troll threads in the suggestions forums for two years.
Spam in LD and call everyone noob. All the SK LD comunity will hate you in 10-15 days.
Ways to become well-known (famous and infamous :P)
1) Constantly post on the forums, to the extent where all of the threads have your post/posts in them
2) Make tons of hate threads (not recommended :P)
3) Invent a catchy phrase (seerusly? :3)
4) Make Haven a better place ^^ (how you do this is entirely up to you :P)
5) Say "no" to every suggestion, and argue with every single person on the forums, regardless of what they are saying (not recommended as well :P)
6) Host/make/create contests in the Treasure Vault
But personally, I think its just nice being a regular Knight ^^ (or a papaya, in my case :P)
Klipik posted that you have to be insanely good at a game. Doesn't have to mean this game.
But like posters above me stated, being well known in pve and pvp are two different things. You could tell you friends in person about you character.
Dont force it,
But unfortunatly you had to ask how to become famous, so kinda anything you will do will most likely be fake and forced.
Wait, who started the whole "seerusly" thing? :3
Make everyone want to eat you.
Gonna ask Biscotti to make papaya-flavored Cupcakes next year (^.^)
Regarding she doesn't "accidentally" turn them into evil-want-to-kill-you-cupcakes -_-
Ask Feller to be your mentor, he is awesome.
Dayum....
Anyways, you can't ask people to make you famous. As Asukalan said, it will look fake and forced. Looking for fame is a human nature, but I feel it's a vice. Being famous is fine, but hunting for it is rather... Maybe if you aim to be acknowledge would be better? Actually, I have some hints for you, although I don't recommend you to follow them...
Get a rare costume "Doesn't have to be expensive" and let it be your costume trademark.
Train till you become a Master in Lockdown. Be kind and friendly, it will make people be your fans, not haters.
Get to know a lot of friends.
Make frequent competitions and trivias.
Become a jerk like Feller.
Become whiny like AT-Whiners.
Use a lot of $$$ then brag about it in the forums.
Become a successful merchant, and have every rare item and accessory.
Become the GM of one of the most successful Guilds in Spiral Knights.
Join one of the big guilds.
Break records in either PvE or PvP.
Become troll of the forums.
Turn into a geeky nerd and be the best source of information in Cradle.
Be generous to randoms.
I can go on, but it's just lame...
Just let things take its place and everything will go fine...
Do something surprising.
Like make a fangame.
Wait, I'm doing that and I'm not all too popular...dur hur I haven't even made a demo yet. :P
Turn into a geeky nerd and be the best source of information in Cradle.
Already done that and I'm not famous
No-one likes a know-it-all :P
@Hexzyle:
You ARE famous. Believe it or not. Your hard work won't go in vain. Same goes for Zed,Soral, Dogrock etc...
EDIT: I prefer people who are know-it-all, because I am one myself *In History though...*. But yeah, I prefer sitting and chatting with these quality of people, not people who don't know a drop or heck even a globule of knowledge about their surroundings...
I enjoy number crunching, but not long term, dreary mathematical projects like what Zeddy is doing. I respect him for that.
I'll scribble down numbers onto tables every now and then, but don't expect any 1,000 word analysis essays from me.
1) Call everything yellow "BUDDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
That's about it.
Get a rare costume "Doesn't have to be expensive" and let it be your costume trademark.
Nup, doesn't work. Well, maybe for a few steam people. And maybe for one or three of those who saw me in a trollaris trainining video. But only they make me a tiny tiny tiny popular. Nothing in-game.
@Infernoburner:
Sorry, but in my opinion, your costume isn't exceptional. I meant exceptional and one of kind with "rare."
I just play the game .__. minding my own bombastic business, though I am a chatty one... (maybe that's why people don't like me.)
From here, I know ZEDDY err* 'sir!', Lil-Jua, Fallconn, Infernoburner, Klipik, Fehzor!!!, Papaya, Iamnoone (who really IS someone), Asukalan, and I know HEXY :D Mister researcher, that was a fun and insightful run about the rotation intervals, thanks~
Two very easy paths to doing so:
1 : Positive way: Post a lot on the forums and have a presence in-game built through skill in PvP or handiness in Clockwork groups - a name built out of dependability and utility. It will take a while, but this way leads to being a welcomed member of the community.
2 : The fun way: Start sh*t and be loud, you polaris-spamming nubs. Hammers and fausts are fo' wimps and real men use proto swords. F*** AA AND JEMPIRE IS A BUNCH OF RICH ENTITLED SPAMMERS WHO BUY UVS AND DOESN'T AFRAID OF ANYTHING! OOO Y U NO FIX THE UI AND MY CAPSLOCK KEY IS BROKEN. Energy in this game sucks and if u disagree ur a rich kid with mommies credit kard who needs to play real mMMoOs. And WTF WHY CAN'T I DULE-WEELD ROCKET HAMMERS?! THIS GAME !!XUS
Granted, the second option is surely much faster and much more hilarious, but will probably get you kicked.
Apparently I have a reputation for being too mean on the forums, so I've been told.
Anybody who engages in intelligent discussion cops that.
whine about AA
post ridiculous things
found a good guild
buy millions of ce
continue to whine
sleep max shock max stun max skolver set
sleep max darkfang shield
sexiness very max
1. Become one of the most accessorized knights.
2. Become a master of lockdown: guardian, recon, and/or striker mainly in damage or skills. Kill a lot of people quickly and easily and getting a lot of damage basically.
3. Create a fantastic guild hall like Echo of Silence's.
4. Attempt hard challenges many people can't really do and record on them on video like Vokster.
I think I forgot a few.
Let's see
-Good grammar
-Mature (When I said mature, i dunt watn dis. u wil suk 4 dis xDDD)
-Show good reputation in the forums
-Follow the rules
-Don't rage like me folks
-Be good in LD (Optional)
-In addition, you can be funny and people will like you alot.
What you should do:
-Hammaw spam like a boss
-Faust spam like a boss
-Trollaris like a boss
-Flourish like a boss
-Skyguarder LIEK A BAWS!
It depends on where you want this fame to come from.
Almost everyone "famous" started with something smaller, like becoming very adept at LD, or creating a successful guild, and then gradually became more well-known from there.
The easiest ways to become a familiar face is to:
A: Play LD 24/7, and be good at it!
B: Post around the forums alot. But don't spam it, and only post if you have something worthwhile to say. Don't post just to post. Act mature, and people will be more inclined to like you.
Try the tried-and true method through which all internet gods of all MMOs rise to fame.
1. Start a SK youtube series.
2. Suck at the game but whine in a hilarious manner whenever you are inconvenienced.
3. About 5 episodes in, come up with some sort of catchphrase/fake phobia/"I are hate dat monstur" line
4. Wait until you have 4,000 subscribers.
5. Start a guild named after whatever your retarded Spiral Knights catchphrase is.
6. Beg a bunch of cool people to join. If that doesen't work, bribe them.
7. Use your popularity on Youtube and the kewl dewds in your guild as evidence of how AWSOME you are!
8. Ask for a lot of upkeep donations.
9. Waste it on snazzy but ultimately pointless gear (Trojan disguise, etc.)
10. Use the pointless shiz to start up a new look.
11. Enjoy the throne of eternal power until someone does exactly what you did but better.
Be awesome.
Get lots of stuff. Meet people. Be friendly and reasonably social without being a dick about things. Build up skills and knowledge. Post on forums about relevant things, as opposed to just trollthread/lolcatstuff.jpg/youchoob.com things. Help people. Make connections. Join guilds, but don't guildhop. Use reasonable grammar and spelling - people are okay with slipups, but constantly posting stuff à la 'OMGWTFBBQ iz goin on' or being incomprehensible will not endear you to most players. Try to be mature - most of the time. (This is a game, after all. But toilet humour just isn't that funny.) Remember that you don't know absolutely everything, and that it is 0kay to be wrong from time to time so long as you learn from the experience.
Generally making posts like this is a good way to get remembered for the wrong kind of reasons; drawing attention to yourself without much meaning to it. 'Let's Play' videos tend to be variable unless you have something witty to comment about the game. Trolling will get you either shunned or hailed, depending on who you target. Being too good at LD will make you the target of much rage and 'AA !%*!'. Don't be too much of a jerk.
So basically like life. But with more stabbing and shooting and blowing up stuff. (At least, I hope you don't do that in real life.)
People in this community never cease to amuse me XD
Thank you for the good laugh
