From 3 to 1000 invites, really?

I hope this isn't a quota!  I don't actually know 1000 people, unless I can include past lives.

  • ha, yeah seriously... my thoughts were 'really? 1000 facebook invites and still not a single email invite?' sheesh... :)

  • Yes, I was disappointed too.

  • Behavioral economics. You're more likely to invite 3 people if you have 1000 invitations than if you have 3 invitations. There's less to lose. So you'll invite the 10 people you know who would enjoy a game like this and 3 will join. Win win.

  • That's what GMail did and now it's the best dang e-mail service in the world! :P

  • And I think the 1000 friends from everyone has overloaded something.  The invite page appears to be broken.

    ETA: nm  it's working now :)

  • It's not the 1000 invites, it's the  restriction to Facebook.

  • One of them involves changing a single number, the other involves creating new functionality. It's much easier to increase the number of Facebook invites someone can send out than implement a new invite system. The devs have said repeatedly that email invites are coming. I'm sure they'll get implemented, and it's not like upping the Facebook limit will prevent them from adding email invites.

  • Seems like a good sign to me. Looks like the devs are basically letting everyone in that wants to be here...

  • FYI - Queue jumping is open now:

    "@playglitch
    OK, OK … the old skool "queue jumping link" is open. If you've been waiting forever want to get an invite *today* go: glitch.com/fans/"

    Edit: queue jumping is closed now.

  • Ahhh~ TY, TY, TY devs

    @duien
    nope, no new functionality.  Email invites already existed.

    When? I know you could sign up with your email and eventually get an invite. That still exists. But I haven't been aware of any way to bump your friends higher in the queue with email, and I've been playing since mid-alpha.

  • I saw they removed the jump the line feature today on Twitter, did they also remove Facebook friend invites?

    When the "queue jump" is open, anyone who has previously entered their email address in the "I'd like to be invited" database, can click the "queue jump" link and ask to get an invite right away. 

    TS sends an invite to that email address.  The invitee clicks a link in the email and is taken to the log in screen to create a new account. That's how I got mine; that's how I got my friend an invite yesterday.  Nothing involved except email.
