I am a Greeter and, yes, I am "Real"! I am a living person sitting at my keyboard and actually playing "Glitch"! You may have seen a Greeterbot Cubi. It is a Toy. As of now (this min.) there is no Greeterbot to come to your aid. You are going to be Greeted by me or one of many other Greeters or maybe even a Staff member. We are Volunteers (even some of the Staff)! We have all played "Glitch" for a while and are familiar with the game so we can answer many of your questions or maybe get an answer for you or tell you where to find the answer. When you call us, we drop what we are doing and come to you because we want to help and we enjoy meeting new players. This is our choice so don't worry about calling a Greeter.
That Twig is your method of calling us. It's like a prehistoric one-way cell phone. Use the Twig and someone will come to Greet you! The Twig is a rare thing that only New Players get. It cannot be bought, sold, traded or (apparently) even dropped. If you do not want to use it, please keep it. You may be able to get rid of it later, you may want help or info in the future or maybe you will be able to display it in your House. I have never seen one myself and I have been here since long before they were introduced. Enjoy it while you can!
Remember, "Real" Greeters are here to meet you and answer your questions! We look forward to Greeting you!
