The Unofficial Thank You stoot and Tiny Speck Post

The title says it all. I remember reading about his initial attempt at a game that transmuted into Flickr (which I use on a daily basis) and I am glad to see that stoot's master plan to provide an awesome and always free MMOG is finally about to go live. More than that, I appreciate being one of the few, the proud, the 27,000+ who have experienced Glitch being built.

I know that giving birth generally involves pain and I have no doubt that the devs and staff will have lots to cope with in the coming months. I know that most of the folks I've interacted with here have been awesome and will likely be glad to help new users and staff alike. If there is anything I can do, let me know (I really mean that).

  • Thank you so, so much. I have never played an online game before, and did not think that I would get so involved with one. You guys have created something magical. This alpha and beta testing experience has been so much fun, and I feel part of such a lovely community. I think what makes this so great is that all you devs are a part of that community. We can count of seeing all of you at our parties, or just wandering around the world. You're there when we need you.

    Best wishes for continued HUGE success!!

  • I am so looking forward to finding a few minutes tomorrow to make my re-entry into Glitch. Playing doesn't fit easily around my Monday evening commitments but I will get myself back to Ur by hook or by crook... Thank you so much for the inspirational game you've made. I love it. It's enabled me to have a huge amount of fun with a close friend who lives an ocean away, and meet plenty of new folks into the bargain. SO GOOD.

  • I have to jump in too... thank you Stoot and all TS staff!  For those of us who lost one world to be able to come together in this new amazing world... well, you gave us all a new home.  Sounds kinda corny, but it's true!  Many of us were quite lost at the end of our other game, but when we all started playing Glitch in Alpha, got to see eachother again, and saw the hands on love and attention you all gave the game, it gave us hope that we had found another home where we could play, be silly, and make new friendships in addition to keeping our old ones.  You'll never know how much that meant!!  Hugs and high fives all around for an outstanding game!!!

  • Every once in a while, something comes along that is very special:  The childhood toy whose memory we still treasure.  The song that never fails to uplift, no matter how many times we hear it sung.  The book that deepens the humanity of those who read it hundreds of years after it was written.  

    I think Glitch is going to be one of those things.

  • ok i'm not good with lots of sentimental stuff but i just wanted to add my thnks in here as well for a real experience.  There are a million games out there you can play and they all have something to offer - Glitch is soooo different to anything else that i've ever played and I think its down to a combination of things that get thrown into the awesome pot.  First there is the huge amount of technical skill that the developers have for this work but unlike most techies ive meet they "get" the concept of friendly, supportive help with mostly ignorant people like me.  Then there is the community in here with so many dear and lovely people who are prepared to give their last currant to help another player.  Most of all though there is the shared experience - whilst i enjoy getting to a higher level or completing a quest, the real feeling of warmth and satisfaction is the joy others have when you tell them you've achieved something.  Glitch, for me, really is like something you've never seen before....its family.

  • Aw, feel all that love? I'm so glad I got the chance to be a part of this awesome other world. Thanks to Stoot and everyone who has worked so hard to make Glitch such an amazing and fun place to be! <3

  • It seems that personal things have no place in the forums, and I agree with that. So, I'll just touch on this briefly: It's been a trying year for me. I have a stressful job in a pediatric hospital, and I went through a traumatic incident a few months ago that involved a stalker. In short, I've been having an extremely difficult time relaxing since May or so. I've been dealing by writing a whole bunch -- horror fiction, mostly -- and trying to keep it together day by day.

    Glitch has been something where I can kind of turn my mind off and just enjoy the game for what it is. New surprises exist around every corner, but they're not bad surprises. My desire to explore has been dampened in real life, but in Glitch, I'm safe. And every new surprise makes me laugh. The stress levels go down, and I can actually enjoy what I'm doing.

    The community is also amazing. I find myself not being guarded and shy, simply because everybody here is so nice and welcoming. There've been nights where I've honestly wished I could have hugged each of you on Global Chat just for the good conversation and the realization that I was being pulled out of my shell a little bit. 

    Maybe I'm saying too much here or pouring out too much emotion. But thank you, Tiny Speck, for providing a service that has sowed the seeds for such a fertile community of intelligent, imaginative, funny, and wonderful human beings. Not all people are bad and dangerous, and thank you for reminding me of that.

    You guys -- all of you -- are the best, and long live Glitch.

  • Thank you Stoot and Tiny Speck!  I have never played a multi-player online game before.  I could never see the point.  It just seemed, well, dumb.  But then nanookie kept talking about this game.  So I thought I'd check it out.  I love it!  I like that I can just tool around doing whatever I want or be social (although I've never worked on a project, I like that they exist, and I likely will participate in the future).  It's such a great game, and such a great community.  You've really created something amazing here!

  • I have little interest in the fancy clothes (*), not much need for the teleportation tokens, no pressing need to see a little heart next to my name and I never (well... almost never) spend money for online games.

    But the other day I bought a subscription. It's as much to say "thank you" to TS for the fun I've had, and the continued fun I hope to have.

    Thanks guys - through your twisted minds and high levels of involvement you've created something rather special.

    (*) Although the LED shoes are pretty neat

  • Since I became a Beta Tester 6 months ago, I have NOT:

    - played another online game
    - bought a new console or pc game
    - left town for any reason
    - gone on a date if glitch was open
    - done anything domestic if glitch was open
    - handed in any papers or assignments on time if glitch is open
    - kept any appointments or done any favors for anyone if glitch is open
    - laughed so hard and so often in any other game
    - <3 other players this much
    or

  • We really need to be able to "like" posts in the forums lol

    Everything plus more has been said about how I feel about Stoot and TS, thank you.  I especially appreciate that I found a new home here.  After years of losing games, starting with LoK, down a medium sized list, being tortured by BF, it was with great pleasure, I landed here.  And now I'm going to stop before I get really mushy and soggy !!

  • My english is far from perfect and I knew I would be unable to write sophisticated thank-you post, so I bought subscription as soon as I found out how awesome this game is.:)
