The water in this game is rendered so beautifully, I think it'd be sort of cute to have a fountain or a wishing well. Maybe the wishing well can be a place where you can type in messages that are "wishes" that maybe others can see and read. I think it'd be a cute way to have an in-game suggestion box (that is placing a "wish" as a suggestion) but it could also just be a for-fun thing.
I think optionally you could throw really tiny amounts of crowns into it for a visual and add a little animation for it. It doesn't have to change how the game works, I mean, plenty of people throw their change away to wishing wells without expecting a real benefit so I'd assume it'd work the same in game.
Yes, this is a very sentimental suggestion but I think it'd be really cute. Maybe make the fountain in the Town Square a place where you can make a wish. I'd expect many spiral knights would have hopes, wishes and dreams with the way we're fleshing out the story line and the world through the mission system.
Crowns are the size of hubcaps, throwing them in the water would probably make the fountain overflow.
