Anyone Remember Back When...

These Were where we lived? www.glitch-strategy.com/wik...

You had to Squeeze Chickens on the Ground only?

When Fancy Picks only cost 1k, and bags cost about 850?

When My Cafe was in buisness (Up On The Suns)

When we did the street projects? (Callopee in general)

When Glitch Was OUT?

Post your own!

  • Anyone remember back when...

    You had to search madly just to get one 12-sided die, and finding one was like a blessing?

    When Glitch wasn't open 24/7?

    When GNG wasn't a musicblock, but instead a lullaby played at the end of each test?

    When everyone said "See you on the other side!" to each other when the first beta came to an end?

  • Heh, was going to start a similar thread...but I'll post here instead...

    When Shimla Mirch was the only bog area, and we were still doing street projects there?!

    When the only homes were apartments, basic rock homes, basic tree houses, and the multi-tiered meadows homes (small, medium, large) ?

    When basic rock homes and tree houses cost only 2K to 2.5K currants?

    Ilmenski Caverns was the only major mining area?  (I remember working on a street project to expand Imenski Deeps)

    When there were street projects?!  (Gosh I soooooooo miss them)

    When the subway didn't exist and we had to walk everywhere?

    When there was no such thing as teleportation?

    When no one had heard of animal pens, and animal sticks were just a gleam in the developer's eye?

    When death headstones still had a cross on them, and the distant cross in hell wasn't blocked by the sign to the rest of hell?

    When there was only one street in hell?

    Before we got the Ur world map?

    When the game was only available in beta on certain days, and the weren't always on weekends?

    Before there were pumpkins for Zilloween?

    ETA: When the Faunasphere folks invaded Glitch 'coz our game was shutting down?  Yea, we know were were annoying to the true alphas...but goodness gracious, we had a great game that shut down over some really stupid circumstances....

  • Remember when the flightiness of chickens made it so you had to sneak up on them to squeeze them :)?

    Remember when we didn't have a quantity picker and had to just drop things and hope they weren't stolen to make precise donations?

  • >LOOK
    You are somewhere in a forest. Some grain lies discarded here.
    >INV
    Focusing Orb
    Meat x16
    Deluxe Sammich
    You have 25 currants.
    >W
    You are in another part of the forest. Rube is here.
    You say, "I want an Ayn Rand Doll."
    I don't understand Ayn Rand Doll.
    >TAKE RUBE
    You will be lucky.
    >LOOK MAP
    There will be a map when there is a World Wide Web.
    >QUIT
    <Your Telnet session has ended>

  • Remember when there were people in Ilmenskie Deeps, particularly in Gori Blear/Subarna Spells?

  • I remmeber when spice trees grew on Groddle Island
    When Groddle was the biggest part of Ur imagined
    When the devs would join us in appocalypse parties at the end of test ( I miss this so much)
    When beefcakes appearance meant the game would open soon
    When I waited outside the gates for my invite, desperate to join those already playing.
    When we had a smash the rook egg quest
    When a piggy and a chick were prized cubimals (such a fleeting moment)
    When there was no such thing as purple, it was nono or nuthin!!
    When notes spawned in the jethimadh streets telling us to look at the tower in the background.

  • - before staff badges, having a staff answer a question in global and wondering if they knew what they were talking about (first day or two of play)
    - when no-no was a set time, instead of getting cut in half each time
    - setting your longest skill before a test closed
    - planning courses of action (what you are going to do when you get back, what skill you were going to do next) and generally suffering serious withdrawals while glitch was closed
    - wasn't grain a crop at one point, or did I imagine that?
    - rook attacks before piety and martial imagination
    - races being quests

  • Yup, grain was a crop once.

  • When herbs didn't exist...
    When the ancestral lands were introduced, and players were scared to go there because of something called jujus...
    We had mini-street projects in the ancestral lands...
    Before there were dirt piles...and you could only get dirt from patches...
    When you had to go to a mailbox to get all your deliveries since there was no FrogX yet...

  • I've only been around for (almost) three months, but I'm enjoying seeing what used to be here at Glitch.  I'm glad I waited (almost) a year after FaunaSphere closed to join the Glitch Train... the waiting whilst the game was closed would have made me go absolutely crazy!  lol~

    - I liked not having to reset the new(ish) zoom feature every time you changed streets, but I understand why the change was made.  I'm just glad they didn't take it away entirely!  THAT would be a true shame!
    Posted 8 months ago by Genki-baba Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Plexum Navillus, I bet you'll remember those weird old days when when we could only get pigs to make seeds from crops one plop at a time. (w00t!)

  • ...When Rook attacks were almost always in Aranna, which was unfinished with a warning rook sign on the map?
    I wish I had joined Glitch earlier, the first beta sounds like so much fun.
    I remember lots of these... When the Rube would only trade once or twice... When there were separate mailboxes for sending and recording mail... When there were no frogs.

  • ...when the global chat banded together to help out everyone complete the peat bog quest.
    ...when you fought for rocks to mine.
    ...when you made all your friends by doing street projects.

    I still play my GNG each time before I end my game for the day...just for nostalgic purposes. It's kinda almost sorta like the end of each test back in the day. :( Definitely miss the end of test parties.

  • -Party Chats where to carve serious events in history (well, sometimes for me)

    -Parties took places in people's houses, and were always the best that way.
    -- Hence making a 50k house more desirable...
