Hi! I'm just a new player in Spiral Knights and me and my brother are playing this for a while. So here's the issue:

For example, I'd log in, and use some of my energy, let's say 40 energy for example. In that instance, I still have 60 energy.

Now my brother would log in, and he will be surprised that he only has 60 energy left even though he haven't play his account for 2 days. It's supposed to be full, right?

Me and my brother are playing in the same computer. I don't know if this is really a bug or this is a part of the game. I hope someone answers back. Thanks!

This is part of the game---even if you and your brother have separate accounts, if you play on the same computer you will share mist energy. This is to prevent one person from making multiple accounts just to get free ME.

Sorry!
Maybe if you and your brother are good you can ask your parents to buy each of your accounts $0.75 worth of CE--then you won't share your mist. Or you could buy an Ultimate Game Card from Wal Mart and not have to worry about using credit cards: http://ultimategamecard.playspan.com/

I'll try convincing my parents.

But I'll suggest something:

You guys should have an energy mechanism where players can buy Mist Energy in change of crowns. But sure it should be expensive enough not to abused and has a "maximum buying" limit. Specially for people who are sort of "too young" for this game or people who doesn't have credit cards/phones and stuff. But if ever, I wish buying Mist energy with crowns can't be shared with another account on a same computer/laptop.

Anyways, thank for the help and information though! :)

I think what you may be

I think what you may be suggesting is already in game. You should have a look at Crystal Energy purchased though the Energy Depot.

But if you'd read my suggestion AGAIN, you will clearly see that I mentioned "Mist energy", and not "Crystal Energy".

Please keep in mind that you need to read the whole thread before posting anything. Because sometimes, you'll realize where did you get wrong and eventually feel humiliated by yourself.

What's the point in having

What's the point in having player traded Mist Energy when Crystal already fulfills this role? You can buy lots of 100 Crystal Energy on the market for Crowns or trade directly with players for any amount. Crystal energy when purchased with crowns is unique to an account no matter payment status or computer used.

There is no need to own a phone or credit card to purchase energy in this game when items such as Ultimate Gamer Cards, Visa Gift Cards and even Green Dot MoneyPak cards.
