I have no idea if anyone but me plays this, but let's give it a shot anyways. 
Spiral Knights is a free MMO from Sega that just officially launched early this month. It has Zelda-style controls and a heavy emphasis on exploration and battling. You create a small robot soldier, then journey to a town called Haven, where you work for the order of the Spiral Knights. Your job is to explore a subterranean world called the Clockworks; beneath each gate inside, numerous different rooms and levels are cycling throughout the day, like, well, clockwork - meaning you end up with a different experience every time you go dungeon-crawling, and have to stay on your toes even when heading through the same gates you've been through before.
Amidst all this, you're collecting Heat (exp) to power up your weapons and armor, collecting minerals for the Spiral Knights and for pay, fighting numerous types of monsters and mini-bosses, looking for materials to craft new items and weapons, and partying/bartering with other players.
So yeah, does anyone else play it, by any chance? I'm still an extreme newb myself, but if anyone has any questions I'll try to answer them, and the website also has a wiki that appears to be thriving.
If you haven't tried the game yet, give it a shot - it's a little limited right now, but there's already lots of places to explore. It seems to be really promising, and it's fun besides. :3 (Plus there seem to still be plenty of character names available due to it's shiny newness, which is always a plus. xD)
