So I got this screenshot from a Chinese mate playing on the Asian server happily with 4 bars of connection while a wild caveman Aussie like me still has to deal with that 100ms+ ping and staring at that red little dot on top right crying. #DasLacist

Well, I should translate it, right? Alright, let me give it a name:
"Knight Rename Ticket“

Explicitly this is a one-time-use ticket to rename one's knight. Some might be unhappy with their names. I personally won't change mine but I know some people that wish to and would love to.

Well, we are getting it soon, or not?

Anyways, on top of all that their translations still suck. Looking at them makes my day.

You don't know how bad I want

You don't know how bad I want to change mine. This is only a filler name for the intended name that was originally taken. (This filler only has -en tacked onto it) Now I don't even want the original name anymore, and name changing would be wonderful.

Anyway, Australia doesn't get much support, does it..

"has to deal with that

"has to deal with that 100ms+"
You want too much, even 200ms isn't so bad.

@ The-Worst-Knight

Wait, so...you mean to say that you have to use real money to buy energy? Because that's not really fair for them either...

100 ms ping is bad?

Aussie with 100ms ping? Impossibru.
From what I know:

1 bar ~ 300ms and up
2 bars ~ 200-250ms
3 bars ~ 150ms
4 bars ~ I don't have solid information about this, but I think it's 90-80 and less.

Again, I am not 100% positive about this, but I am pretty sure 100ms ISN'T 1 bar.

I do try to be happy instead of angry. I swear.

Don't be jealous.
Don't be upset it has yet happened for us.
Don't feel bad.
Just be happy that some spiral knights have this and that it may soon happen to us.

Asian server player here

As an Asian server player, I just wanna clarify that the rename ticket was just a one-time thing. Back then, the Asian server was split between the Hong Kong and Taiwan servers. Some months ago, they decided to merge both servers together (with the Taiwan server as the base), which resulted in some player names being duplicated. As a result, the HK players ended up with "HK" attached to the front of their names.

For example, my previous name back then was Ascalon. After the merger, my name became HKAscalo (there's an 8 character limit in Asian server only) because there must have been a similar named knight in the Taiwan server.

The rename ticket was sort of a compensation to HK players who didn't want to have "HK" attached to their names, so to speak.

Alright, this time the Asian server is ahead of us. I feel bad.
