News Updates
+
This page includes sources of news and various post contents.
  
−
A list of all the updates on the main spiral knights page for easy knowledge of the chronology of events, with fewer clicks! Hooray!
+
==Notes==
 +
In-game:
 +
*Every time the player logs into a knight, there will be a popup with information on current events if there are any going on. Otherwise this popup is just general advertising for the game.
 +
*Usually accounts will receive a Mail that talks about Patch Notes and other recent things. The player's knight will have a Mail symbol on the Log In screen (this doesn't always mean news - friends could have sent a message, or it might be about something from the Auction House).
 +
*Read the region chat. Player gossip in the [[Town Square]] of [[Haven]] is a great source of rumors about recent changes, anecdotes, and other players who might be wondering about things.
 +
:Sometimes Game Masters will talk about the game in the region [[chat]]. Their chat text is colored lavender-purple. This is not always news, but hints tend to be dropped. Sometimes they will pose in the most recent [[Prize Box]] costumes.
 +
*Server reboots will be announced in game-wide chat. This text is pink, and it will usually say why the server is being rebooted - maintenance, update, etc.
  
 +
{{opinion/small}} Prepare yourself:
 +
*Be part of the new stuff. If the [[Test Server]] is open, and you qualify, participate in the testing and give feedback on the provided relevant forum thread. Get an idea of what's coming before it gets here.
 +
*As a general last resort, don't be afraid to [[Support|ask support]] for help - if you hear someone telling you about a weird new thing, but can't find any information on it anywhere after doing a thorough search, that might be something called a "scam" and support will clear up your doubts.

Recent forays beneath the surface of Haven have turned up numerous dens that are home to a family of creatures we have designated "Wolvers". They are extremely agile and ferocious, and appear to travel in packs led by a stronger, more dangerous beast known as an "Alpha Wolver".
+
==Other News Visuals==
  
−
Any knights who are adventuring underground are strongly advised to read up on these dangerous foes and, if confronted by one on a mission, to shoot first and worry about reading the wiki later!

Most of the above images show up in the uplink too. But several uplink images don't show up in the News Blog page.

Large deposits of mysterious minerals have recently been spotted throughout the Clockworks! Spiral HQ has begun utilizing these exceptional elements to construct new subterranean gates for knights to explore in Haven's Arcade, and you can help!
+
  
−
Any knight who happens across a supply of these minerals is asked to collect them and immediately transport them to the Arcade. In the meantime, we suggest you read more on what we know about these minerals and how we've been using them to construct gates so that you're fully prepared!

Remember, knights: all rescue pods are stocked with a standard-issue Proto Sword, Proto Gun, Proto Shield and full set of Spiral Armor in case of a crash-landing in hostile territory. Familiarizing yourself with these and other weapons and armor will be key to your survival on this new world!

Other weapons of particular interest to new arrivals include the Punch Gun, which has been adapted from a tool used to blast open pod doors, and the Slime Slasher, which is a heavily-modified entrenching tool suitable for combat use against slimes.

{{showhide|4) March 14, 2011:   "Royally Rewarded!" |content=

One of the major challenges Spiral HQ has faced after the crash is the question of trade for basic supplies with this new world's inhabitants. Thankfully, this question was answered for us very early on, as many of you have proven quite adept at acquiring Crowns, the local currency!
+
−
 
+
−
It won't be long until you're all swimming in "shinies" yourselves, so today we're going to help make certain that you can tell a 1-Crown piece from a 50-Crown piece, lest you end up risking life and limb in the Clockworks over a sum too small to buy anything from a vending machine!

After nearly four years of development, Spiral Knights has officially launched today. This is a huge moment for me, the Spiral Knights team and all of Three Rings and I am so happy to be able to share it with them.
+
−
 
+
−
I consider myself privileged to be among the ranks of the very talented Spiral Knights team. Creating this game was a really fun and rewarding experience. I think everybody involved learned a great deal as we are a very small team, so wearing lots of hats was a requirement.

Tread with caution when you enter the slime-covered halls of the Royal Jelly Palace. Recon Knights have gathered that this ancient, open-air castle has been overtaken by a legion of slimes, the most fearsome of which is a 'Royal Jelly.'
+
−
 
+
−
Like any unruly king, it has a short fuse and loves to throw its weight around. We cannot be certain under what lineage or authority this oozing aristocrat claims noble descent, but we would still caution those traveling in its palace to stay vigilant and come prepared with Poison vials and weapons, in addition to a full complement of knights!

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.

The Strangers have been hard at work making Haven a more welcoming place for the recent influx of knights, and so several new amenities are now available in the Town Square: an Auction House, and an Advanced Training Hall!

The Auction House is a new and efficient way for knights to buy and sell materials, recipes and other items, while the Advanced Training Hall can be used to brush up on important adventuring skills, or to test out new weapons. Go take a look at them in the Haven Town Square today!

This page includes sources of news and various post contents.

Notes

In-game:

  • Every time the player logs into a knight, there will be a popup with information on current events if there are any going on. Otherwise this popup is just general advertising for the game.
  • Usually accounts will receive a Mail that talks about Patch Notes and other recent things. The player's knight will have a Mail symbol on the Log In screen (this doesn't always mean news - friends could have sent a message, or it might be about something from the Auction House).
  • Read the region chat. Player gossip in the Town Square of Haven is a great source of rumors about recent changes, anecdotes, and other players who might be wondering about things.
Sometimes Game Masters will talk about the game in the region chat. Their chat text is colored lavender-purple. This is not always news, but hints tend to be dropped. Sometimes they will pose in the most recent Prize Box costumes.
  • Server reboots will be announced in game-wide chat. This text is pink, and it will usually say why the server is being rebooted - maintenance, update, etc.

The topic of this article or section is subject to personal opinion, and does not represent any one absolute truth. If you disagree, discuss your concerns on the the talk page before editing. Prepare yourself:

  • Be part of the new stuff. If the Test Server is open, and you qualify, participate in the testing and give feedback on the provided relevant forum thread. Get an idea of what's coming before it gets here.
  • As a general last resort, don't be afraid to ask support for help - if you hear someone telling you about a weird new thing, but can't find any information on it anywhere after doing a thorough search, that might be something called a "scam" and support will clear up your doubts.
