Ok,now I realise...

...I am not very computer savvy,but:
I am trying to play the game,however the 'enter world' button is blocked by the 'currently closed' sign,yet when I checked on some of my friends,it says they are in the game exploring.
So,I guess the questions are:
1. How do I get from the forums to the world?
2. Is this a bug?
3. Do I need to get another invite?
4. 0h,and my subscription runs out in 27days,how do I become a member?

  • Which friends are you checking on? Staff members have access to the game at all times for development and testing purposes. I noticed that jdawg is on your friendslist, and it says he's ingame. He's a staff member.

    Subscriptions are free during alpha - if for some reason yours expires, you can get another one easy. Just go into the vanity and try to select any "subscribers only" facial feature. You'll get a popup telling you about subscriptions and offering to let you subscribe. Subscriptions and accounts are separate - you can play the game with no subscriber features so long as you have an account, and if you're here, then you have an account.

  • Ok.

    1. The world is currently closed and will be open whenever the developers decide to have us test. During the alpha stage, we only test when necessary, so to keep yourself informed, follow @playglitch and @isglitchopen on twitter for up to the minute updates on testing.

    2. No this is not a bug. The best way to navigate from forums to the world (when its open) is to click then enter the world button (which is currently hidden behind the big red "we're currently closed" sign.

    3. No you do not need another invite. See above reasons.

    4. Subscriptions haven't yet been rolled out. Ignore the expiration date for now, and you'll know when the subscription service becomes available.

    See you in the world during next test! :)

  • 1) You can't atm - the game's closed.
    2) Nope - the people you see in the game right now, are developers, running around making the game whilst it's closed to us.
    3) NA - See above
    4)) Don't worry about subscription or subcribing, Alpha members get a free trial until the devs have sorted something out, so there's nothing we can actually subscribe to right now.

  • Hi SG5, I think you will find it says 'last seen exploring' meaning that was where they last were when the game closed.

    Like they say, the only silly question is the one that's not asked! Well most of the time anyway!

    So 1, you can't now, 2, No, 3, no and 4 Not a problem it's oK!

    xxx

    Hah and I knew at least one person would get there 1st and with more information;)

  • @SillyGirl, you can not get in as the game is closed. It is only open a day or so per week if that at the monent. It is in alpha testing and not as yet the full package.
    You do not need a invite you are now a glitch alpher tester. :)
    You subscription not run out as yet as the game is still in testing and we are allowed to have subscriptions for fee until they tell us otherwise. Probably by the time we go to beta testing.
    Once the game is open you will be able to get past that big red banner up there and it will say "enter world" :)

    edit to add you all type faster than I do lol there was no reply when I started to reply lol :p

  • Scilly, if the FB group goes REALLY quiet, REALLY quick, you know we are all on here in a test! Tried and true without the twitter linkage (heeeheeeheeeeeeee).

  • to all: TY TY TY! =)
    I honestly thought I was being a platinum blonde... and (grin) yes, I did try to click the bit of the 'enter' button that is showing behind the big red 'closed' sign...(blush) LOL!
    I really appreciate all your responses, they have helped me understand quite a few things,incl to perhaps not doubt myself so much.
    I don't have Twitter,so I guess the best way to find out when the game is open,is via FB; check my email (?); and/or have a friend tell me.
    yes,I saw jdawg was in game,but I didn't know he is a staff member.
    Thank you all, for taking the time to answer my questions. 8)

  • "I did try to click the bit of the 'enter' button that is showing behind the big red 'closed' sign...(blush) LOL!"

    Don't worry, I'm sure you're not the only one... :D
    I mean... who never did that? You know? With this tiny secret hope... ;)

  • lmao at this whole thread, especially Mistress*of*Fishies' response because that is quite true I'm sure. Suddenly the Faunasphere Glitchers FB group goes from fairly frequent posting and chatting to a dead zone...there ya are; Glitch must be open :D

    Believe me, if I thought it would help, I'd be clicking on the sign up there behind the red banner, too. (I am one of those fools who will stand there and repeatedly press the elevator button, thinking this will speed up its arrival!)

  • Thanks, I needed a laugh!

  • hi ScillyGirl
    Someone usually posts briefly in the FB group excitedly saying that Glitch is open (after that everyone is too busy playing to post), so checking the group is a good way to go.
    Also check the Twitter and Glitch FB sites if you have access- they have notices up saying the site is open.
    If you think a friend is playing and you can't get in, then post and ask and we'll all check it out (probably in a state of frenzied excitement hoping that it is open after all). Definitely need you in the game :)
