Spiral Knights

Post by SachielOne » 17 Jun 2011, 04:50

So, I tried out Spiral Knights, which is a Free-to-Play MMOG that was among the group of F2P games that just showed up on Steam. It plays a bit like a Legend of Zelda game, actually.

Has anyone else given this a shot? If I can get enough interest, I'm willing to set up an Escapecraft guild for us.

We have about a half a dozen of us in a guild now. If you want an invite, message Sachielone in-game, or post here with the name of your Knight.

Hm, might give it a go. If it doesn't allow me to have my name though then you won't be seeing me.

I thought I might be interested in this until Sneaky told me that you they 'ration' how much you can play, and then make you pay $$ for more play time.

You do have the option of using the in-game currency (crowns, as opposed to real-world money) to buy extra energy from other players. There's a whole section of the interface dedicated to buying and selling this energy.

I do recognize, however, that not being able to spend an entire day with a game will be a turn-off for some.

I think it's actually really cool how you can't play the game for all day long, it makes it more fun and forces you to enjoy every second of the game!

But sadly you will actully loose in the end if you do it like that. Because you will buy energy for your cr and won't be able to advance in tier at the same rate as the rest.

What annoys me is that you need to spend 50 Energy to craft something. That's half a days worth of energy.
