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.

  • @Cupcake: In every thread that has anything to do with the game opening, there is at least one person who comes in on their high horse and suggest that we all read books.  And then complain that we are complaining, without realize their complaints about our complaints are just as annoying as our complaints.  But ours aren't even really complaints, they are all in fun.

    Better to be good natured and happy imo.

  • I read books all weekend. I'm ready to Glitch out. And yes, I'm impatient. Sorry for that, but I can't help it. I'm also one of those types who considers GRRM his bitch, though. (I just don't want him dying on me like Robert Jordan.)

  • Wnie; v.

    To be sad, impatient, gleefully excited, anxious, and otherwise wait and/or playfully complain about the reopening of Glitch.

    (note: this word will become obsolete when the game transitions from beta to open launch.)

  • Turns out it's hard to spell when you're word scrambling. Usually I'm better at that, I promise. Hmm, wine though....might've just been a Freudian slip. I'm excused!

  • You're excused, Blanky. Many of us are wining anyway. :)

  • @ Sid: oh, don't even say that! I just finished # 5 after storming through 1-4. I couldn't bear it if he died before 6 & 7. So, is GRRM my bitch too?

  • @Blanky: with their noses to the grindstone we should be able to tell who is a dev and who is a TS employee just by looking at them.

  • I have wine downstairs to celebrate the A I got on the exam in my wine tasting class.

    Wine wine wine wine wine.  Am I annoying you all with my wine-ing?  Good.

  • There once was a Glitchling call Blanky,
    Who watched as the Glitchen grew splanky.
    She mixed up some words,
    They came out all slurred.
    Too bad she's done lost her best hanky. 

    ETA: Twas in jest! (Not my best.)

  • Make mine a mojito too, please!
    Posted 15 months ago by Audaria Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is fun. It feels kind of like a last hurrah for the amazing beta community, as we all gather together here to wait and refresh and entertain each other and critique each other and refresh some more. Soon we'll be scattered to the four corners of Ur mining and scraping and croppering, but today we're all here, in one place, with only one thing on our minds. :)
