Notes

Click the Map-icon-UI-InstanceSelect.png button in the minimap to see a menu of other instances and travel there.

Players usually load into the Town Square first.

There can be more than one instance of Haven depending on the number of players logged in. You can move to other instances via the minimap.

If there are enough players online, there may be multiple instances of Haven. You can change your instance by clicking your current instance in the minimap and then selecting where you want to go. This is useful to be in the same location as your friends, or to find a quiet place. All instances of Haven are identical and share the same gates in the Arcade.

Population Meters:
One green dot out of 3 means there aren't many people there (perhaps nobody!)
Two yellow dots out of 3 means the instance is decently populated.
Three red dots out of 3 means that instance is approaching or at maximum capacity.

Lore

Haven is the home of Strangers on Cradle. After the Skylark crashed on the planet's surface the Spiral Knights gained the trust of the Strangers and found sanctuary in their town.

The Spiral Knights and Strangers both have a vested interest in the Clockworks and stage trips there from the town's Arcade. The knights seek the possibility of repairing their ship, and the Strangers have interest in the treasures that the knights bring back from their adventures.

Haven encompasses more territory (perhaps much more) than the four districts frequented by players. This potential is somewhat indicated by the fading edges of available maps as well as the mission Breaking in the Recruits. The first floor of this mission seems to be an area of Haven that is in Depth 24, despite the mission briefing mentioning the "surface of Cradle." Arguably, this area is not "Haven," and is simply an area that has architecture similar to structures seen in Haven and on the surface.
