Rose Regalia Bonus Extended!

The response to the Rose Regalia Energy Bonus has been fantastic so far, and so we've decided to extend it for one more weekend! Until Monday, May 9th at 3 PM PDT, purchase at least $9.95 worth of Crystal Energy and receive a free piece of the Rose Regalia costume set. There are three chapeaus and three tabards in all, so this is your last chance to collect all six!

Thank you to everyone who's participated in the Bonus so far. Have a great weekend in the Clockworks!

********************

A small bugfix release was issued today composed of mostly behind the scenes stuff but also included:

Items
* Fixed a bug with certain sword recipes from Basil having unlimited stock.

Levels
* Some minor balancing and bugfixes to random level components.

We are very excited to announce the release of our first Arsenal Expansion! Included in today's update is a host of new swords for you to craft. Get ready to wield the swift and elegant new Flourishes, which excel at locking on and taking down quick-footed foes. Or if you're looking for something a bit more explosive, focus on the newly extended Burst Brandish line whose ultimate form can create a series of three status-inducing explosions!

You can check out a preview of them here:

Items

Tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday, April 27th) the game servers will be down for 1-2 hours starting at 4pm server time (PDT). During this time the game will be unavailable.

However, following maintenance the game will return with a new update, featuring new items for you to acquire!

Thank you for your patience as we continue to work to better your experience in the Clockworks.

Hi everyone, I'd like to take a moment and let you know what sort of new features to expect in Spiral Knights.

We've had a great launch so far, lots of new players have had a chance to experience the world of Cradle and more are emerging from their pods every day. It's quite exciting! Better yet, response has been very positive from the worlds outside Cradle known as the Internet. We look forward to more of it.

We had to perform a bugfix release early this morning and another this afternoon to address some connection issues that some of you may have experienced as well as the lack of elevators in Deconstruction Zone levels.

In addition to that a new feature was added to trade chat that sends trade chat to all same-language instances within Haven. So in order to advertise to the most potential customers, please use trade chat!

A small bugfix release was shipped today that included the following:

Levels
* Minerals can now be found in Deconstruction Zone levels.
* Danger Room rewards now contain heart boxes.
* Some Danger Room traps adjusted.

Bugfixes
* Fixed an issue where reconnecting after disconnect would leave you stuck at logon.
* Fixed an issue where T3 gremlin corpses were not de-spawning.

We will be updating the game this afternoon. After the update, the game will be unavailable for approximately 20 minutes for maintenance. The update includes the following:

Items
* Recipe tweaks:
* Freezing Vaporizer Mk II now requires a Frost Gel, instead of a Cooling Cell.
* Volt Driver now requires 1 Volt Oil, instead of 2.

NPCs
* Wegner in the Arcade has a new objective and new info about minerals:
* He now gives new players an objective to deposit minerals, teaching them the basics.

Fixed some sound bugs, item bugs, and invite bugs.
