The end of the year is upon us, so let's ring in the New Year with a party! Through January 3rd, 2014, the Birdsong Trading Co. is holding a giveaway.

FREE STUFF?! Yay! Uh, how do I get it?

All you need to do to be eligible to win FREE STUFF is to be logged into the game. That's it! Prize drawings will occur hourly through the end of January 3, 2014.

Really? I just have to be logged into Spiral Knights and I might win stuff?

Really. That's all you have to do!

Are you SURE? There's not some catch?

There's no catch. Look, do you want to hear about what you could win?

Fine. Tell me about the prizes.

Happily! You could win the following fine prizes:

• Party Hats
• Confetti
• Fireworks (new!)
• Buckets of Snowballs
• Party Blowouts
• Eyes useables (Exed, Plus, Starry, Vacant, Spiral, Closed)
• Personal Colors
• Name Change Passes
• Shadow Keys (bound)
• Sparks of Life (bound)

With this prize list, are you suggesting that I could potentially party so hard that I'd want/need to change my name and appearance afterwards?

We would never imply such a thing.

Because that would never happen.

We know. We know it wouldn't.

But this way, if you want to, you can turn over a new leaf for the New Year!

...Okay.

Happy New Year!
