Greetings!

The billing system for Spiral Knights will be down intermittently on Thursday, May 24th, 6:00 PM PDT in order to perform a database upgrade. While down, payments will not be processed so you wont be charged and you wont receive the package you attempted to purchase. We expect that this maintenance will take about 3 hours, but we will do our best to get it working normally as soon as possible.

We apologize for this inconvenience this may cause.

Hail, Knights!

We're pleased to announce that we hit a big milestone today, having seen the creation of our 3 millionth Spiral Knights account! In celebration, and as our thanks to all of you for playing, elevators will have no energy cost from now to Saturday, May 19 at 2pm PST. These two free days will be added to accounts that are using an Elevator Pass. Go forth and explore!
