On the EOTW, and its approaching rebirth. (aka The Next Test)

You guys really threw down on Wednesday. Whoa. We were glued to our screens with a sense of wonderment and, at times, mischievous glee as you dumped all of your possessions and battered against the very limits of the game. Huzzah! For the nostalgia-prone amongst you and for those who missed out, links to some stunning screenshots:

Emblem mountain in Feman Falters
Chain of orbs in Valia Shede
Discovery of floating cubimals
The party that choked hell 

Now, on to the next test. Couldn't help but notice all the cries of WWIO around here, and thought, "What the heck, why don't we just put them out of their misery."  

So: We are aiming to open on Tuesday (September 20th) - OPEN NOW

What are you in for? Your future is bright, your pockets are light. You'll go through the tutorial one last time and you'll decide which of several streets in Groddle you'll resurface on to seal your reincarnation. And *we* will be glued to our screens once more.

  • @Aether: It's a test. THEN after it closes one more time, whenever that is, it'll launch 24/7.

    @Carnivale: You won't lose your progress though. So it's not "practice"; it's just that they are giving beta testers a little bit a head start on the universe :)

  • Aether, Blanky said "To answer your question: this will be a "test" with a beginning and an end."  This is the last one, think of it as a head start...

  • So after this test coming Monday will the game be reset again before going live? Or any progress we make during this next test will stay once the game goes live?
    Posted 15 months ago by Emlinel Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ Emlinel: I believe that we keep any progress from this last test and that there are no more resets.

  • "you'll decide which of several streets in Groddle you'll resurface on"

    So, no one else understands this either, right?

  • Ok guys, we need a EOTW party even bigger than the one in hell.  This will be the final time the game closes before launch, and should celebrate, Beta-Glitch style
    Posted 15 months ago by Laurali Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm not really sure, Thee. when we first started, we had a choice of three streets based on which section we spawned on.
    Posted 15 months ago by bored no more Subscriber! | Permalink
  • nvm. misunderstood laurali's statement.
    Posted 15 months ago by bored no more Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hooray!  This is awesome!  I totally agree Laurali.
    Posted 15 months ago by Feylin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ah! I work on Monday!!! But! I'm off on Tuesday!!! Yaaaaay! So as long as the test is at least 2 days I'll be very happy! :D

  • THANK YOU!!!
    Posted 15 months ago by Audaria Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Maybe I missed something, but I don't remember anyone saying anything about this one being the last test before launch. I think the closest they've said is that this is the final reset before launch, so in a way this is the launch, at least for us.
    Posted 15 months ago by Skwid Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So delighted.  I think we all need to keep in mind that it depends on what the test uncovers as to how long before it truly opens 24/7...there's always little surprises and depending on how deep those little surprises might take to fix...well, you know what I'm getting at...so delighted little Glitchen Citizens will be flexible, test all that we can, help all that we can and dart and move this and that. ( And sometimes the easiest little "bugs" can be the hardest to find)  Here's to Monday in all its glory!

  • I'm glad it's starting again soon - it's pretty depressing to look at my profile and see the words "SAF SHAFson doesn't have any skills yet!". . . with an exclamation point even. . .
    Posted 15 months ago by SAF SHAFson Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I can't wait! Thank you so much for this awesome game n_n
    Posted 15 months ago by Cocomoes Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If we're asking for earlier starting times, I vote for 12 lunch time :P At least then I'll be able to start a few skills before head to work. And that way the UKers can get more sleep too~ 

    Now, to get everything else done that I can before Tuesday evening...

  • The future is bright,
    This announcement destroys our fright
    of having to wait for even more nights.

    See you Monday!!!

  • Yay and Woo!   Roll on Monday - never thought I would hear myself saying that LOL
    Posted 15 months ago by Mooquick Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Good, because my purp withdrawels aren't getting any better.
    Posted 15 months ago by Messy Monster Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So everything will be reset again after this next test? Or do we get to keep our characters this time around?
    Posted 15 months ago by Bashere Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Bashere

    Nothing will reset.  This is the last reset.  Every achievement and skill that you earn or learn from now on will be there forever.  (or as forever as any internet site can be).

  • > Can TS track how many are inexplicably down with a *stomach flu on Monday?

    I frankly think the more interesting stat to track will be Tuesday's illnesses...*cough* *cough*...many of us will be able to work full days on Monday and miss very little since it won't open until the afternoon on Monday...however, Tuesday...after pulling an all nighter...I think I'm already feeling feverish...

  • Glitch is a great game. The things to do, the skills to learn, the wardrobe and vanity, best of all... the community. I made so many friends. I am exited to learn more about the game and reset with friends. I hope to take a new path in skills, gameplay and looks. I love this game as much as life. I think this game is perfect. Great job TS. On making something so fun. Thanks to the people who play for helping me along the way :)
