people should try to stop complain about the game being dying --a

I should stop complaining about people complaining to stop people complaining to stop the game dying. No one is going to change something by telling someone to stop. Like, this whole thing is going to happen whether any of us like it or not. I even made a thread about why it happens- because it indicates a real problem in the eyes of those players posting.

"Hire more people" is the crux of this post. Yes, yes I would agree. OOO should hire more people, maybe from the playerbase, maybe not. Especially some nice computer science majors, eh? The rest of your suggestions are already being done. The developers know that PvE needs more content, and is supposedly doing that. PvP has obvious flaws, and changes to weapons are being made to accommodate that as well.

"Do all of the above but faster" is basically the most valid suggestion I could make to the developers. Of course it isn't that easy either so perhaps a better thing to tell them would be something like "make a level editor and put events into the player's hands, so that there isn't so much of a demand for new content 24/7". Latisan Sklay's Charity Water event is a good example of this- it used up some time and gave me something to look forward to. I liked it. Skepticraven's fastest vanguard challenge is another one, as are all of the art contests. These give us some good excuses for things to do.

Lets say there was a new feature added for events-- player events. For a sum of money or energy (5 bucks worth of energy or so), players should be able to broadcast approved messages to all players and host an event. This would re-purpose the "event hud" into something of a calendar for player run events. The GMs would view these requests, and accept most of them, as well as organize them on the calendar and back them with prizes on occasion, just as they currently do. Then all of the players would be alerted to them, and drawn in.

This, combined with player generated content, are what the game needs above all else. Rather than selling "some generic redone MMO", it would be far better to sell to the intended crowd- What we have is Spiral Knights, the first player generated MMO. Redone from what it was before with reformed influence from our past ideas, it is twice the game it was before.

In one year from now, imagine this:
-New boss/new content that will come out in the next few months; i.e. "The Gunner Update"
-Redone weapons for bombs/swords
-Level editor + community events
-Arcade redux = ability to build gates however you want.

Would that be worth the wait? It's already been 10 months and we're all still here. Warframe might have had more new content from the developers, nicer feeling events and more balanced gear, but we'd have unlimited content and a strong, well organized community. That's what I want to see happen to "save spiral knights" anyway... and once that's done, THEN we can talk about marketing.

Oh no I was just pointing out how, from what I've heard, many people think it shouldn't be taking so long to create the update. Of course I'll like and enjoy the update because we haven't had a permanent content update for quite a while, and I love guns.

The point I was trying to put across was, the forums are full of pessimism, but what else is there to talk about? People have "Generally Discussed" anything and everything to do with SK for months, but with no content and people watching players leave, people want to share their insights and opinions on what could happen to the game, whilst development is slow.

But you can be sure that we get the current promo with a different color. At least something, huh?

Next time you're working on something go tell people to yell at you to change things. That will surely make you do things better, faster, and with minimal errors.

The game is going to stay alive as long as the players fund it. As long as it's alive, it will progress. If you want to help Three Rings, spend money on the game or advertise it to friends. If you want to influence the change, post your ideas to the suggestion board. It's that simple. Rallying up the general discussion won't do anything.

Most of what you listed, Dragonuity, is what players have been saying, or what the game already has. The bridge between the players and the developers are the Community Managers, and occasionally Game Masters. Stopping promos won't make content happen any faster either, unless an item with entirely new gameplay mechanics is introduced for a promo(which would create a huge uproar from the non-paying players).
Spiral Knights has potential, yes. But it appears that the potential that many players see and what the developers and storywriters see is very often different.

people get paid for work
imagine an entire team sitting in front of computers adding things to an already existing game freaking 8 hours a day, the content would be rolling out all the time
after having made yohoho puzzle pirates AND having maintained sk for..3years! i expect them to know how to make money
now whether they plan any grand updates or not, i wonder..but at some point u just have to be reasonable and ask yourself..what does the staff actually do during work?

after a few months of seeing the on off button for a few events being triggered every now and then, i reached that point

it doesnt really change anything, i still play ld only and hardly any pve, but..complaints of the sk community have suddenly become..reasonable
