"Have a suggestion for SPIRAL KNIGHTS? We would like to hear it."

For SK. No need for any response, as this is JUST a suggestion--input for SPIRAL KNIGHTS.

Title says it all.

If a player has logged 10/20/30/40/50 days, perhaps an award (costume) or a meaningful reward (some weapon) for each level would be a way to give incentive for SK players to stay with the game longer than a few months, as seems to be the case. (Just my opinion, but SK players come and en masse.)

I have logged more than 40 days but being a "Vanguard" can be achieved in a month (actually, more like four days): Vanguard isn't much of a distinction.

Well, just a harmless suggestion for SK admins, maybe not practical; I don't know, just a SUGGESTION (@trolls).

Thanks.

Maybe a mist tank or similar auto mail thanking you for playing.

Some good reward bonuses include for consistent log-ons I can think of include:
10 days: 5 Radiant Fire Crystals (or lower equivalent based on in-game rank) & 3 Spark of Life
20 days: 10 Radiant Fire Crystals (or lower equivalent based on in-game rank) and 3 Sparks of Life
30 days: 10 Radiant Fire Crystals (or lower equivalent based on in-game rank) and 6 Sparks of Life
Every other 10 consecutive days: same as 30 day bonus
One condition: in order to receive a qualifying bundle, each daily log-on must consist an active session that lasts more than 15 minutes (a condition that prevents players from logging in for a few seconds then simply logging off just to try to get the reward).

Another special feature they can add, A Birthday Prize Box, that is given once every year on your birthday.
Includes:
Chance of any color party hat and party favor accessory
Chance for one of any useful item (Trinket/Weapon Slot upgrades, Heat Booster, etc.)
Chance for one of any Evo Catalysts
and 5 Sparks of Life.

Things like that wil make the game collapse and encourage more noobs to play it. If they add it, it will sign that the game is going to the dogs. Either you are lazy, so go work for something yourself!

@Aotr - Why a mist tank? Mist doesn't exist and a mail thanking you for playing SK is... just not much of a reward.

@Pikachuracer - Exploitable. Somebody could just make a bunch of alts, open one on each computer and wait for their reward. The bonuses you're giving are too much. They're at least more than 60 energy worth of items. Same thing with the birthday prize box. Somebody could just create a bunch of alts and say that their birthday is on XX and get their prize box / items transferred.

Welp.

@ Khamsin

I guess it's not as rewarding, but the closest thing we'll get to as a prize for playing. I personally think it's more of a side-quest than anything. (Still workin' on it though!)

@Bustware

They're not noobs if they eventually know how to play the game and get things themselves. You were a noob too, once. And these are just encourage items like costumes and whatnot, much like the OP stated; we're not talking about actual pieces of armor or some other thing like currency or things you generally have to work for (I will agree that's alot of rarities though).

@Skyguarder

This is resolved if these items are perma-bound onto the character, much like most promo/DLC rewards. For the birthday thing, I guess you could have the date entered only once, at the creation of your character.

Overall, I like this. +1.

When you're this swag this world just bows at your knees

Our prize for playing the game is fun. If you're not getting any, then you should probably stop playing the game.

+1 to Hex and Khas. Hex is right; you play the game to have fun, not for a reward. And, you have prestige as your reward for logging in more often and doing daily missions.

@Hexzyle/Klipik

Yeah, suppose you're right on that aspect. And I can't say much for daily missions though, I usually dismiss them and delve into the clockworks with randoms.

Still, showing a little appreciation isn't that bad, either. I dunno.

@Skyguarder Senka is right. If any incentives were given, they would always be automatically binded to player. However, you do have a point with the "Multiple Account" issue, but with them being binded to that player, exploiting the items to only be sent to his/her primary account would be impossible. Note that some suggesstions never get the approval of OOO, and if they approve it, any incentive given is to be based on OOO's choice.

@Hexzyle/Klipik You have a true point with what you said, I enjoy playing the game and I worked hard to reach where I am now (Vanguard with the highest Prestige Rank @ 46,430 Prestige Points) without the need of incentives.
I knew some will question the idea of added incentives, but for me to approve the idea such as this doesn't mean I don't like the game or want it to be easier, but new players would enjoy a few perks for their effort and time. Regardless on if it happens or not, I will still continue to play Spiral Knights as usual.
