Hello, Glitchen! I have a question mostly for the newly-naturalised citizens of Glitchdom. How long did you have to wait between signing up for an account and your first login?
If I remembered correctly, it's almost a year of wait, like Biohazard, having forgotten about Glitch, I initially thought the invite email was spam. It's a good thing I actually opened the mail :)
I waited since either May or June, and got it August 31st, and I only remember that because I got the email notification on my phone while I was out, and was so upset I had to wait another day, haha .
I signed up in January and got the invite in August. Luckily, I was able to get an invite from another player back in January and had been happily playing all that time instead of waiting. That was a long wait!
I also have no memory of signing up for Glitch. Once I looked at the game, I realized I would have signed up for it - so I probably really did - just it was SO long ago, whenever that was, that I actually completely forgot about it.
I can't even figure out how I heard about Glitch in the first place, which also surprises me because I generally can at least trace my own ideas and actions back to their sources... ahh, I found that through this.... but I can't with Glitch.
I am an older fart Glitchen, only waited a few hours maybe but that was so long ago my Glitchen memory fails me some, gotta get back to feedin the live stock and some minning, have fun all, it is soooo worth the wait...
hmm... I signed up for glitch the day it first launched but it took a few days to get my invite. Luckily I was stuck in a hotel bored to tears with my sister's laptop when I got my invite. Perfect timing TS ^_^
I think it took me nearly a year. I wound up visiting the world of Myst:Uru in the meantime and only dimly remember signing up for Glitch. But I'm glad I did... Glitch is very different and I mean that in the nicest possible way.
I signed up in February, forgot about it for a while until I started seeing tweets about invites going out in early August. I waited for a bit but didn't get an invite so I tweeted the Glitch account and they sent me an invite within a couple of minutes. About a week into my play time I got another e-mail invite that I assume was my original sign-up request.
As Fnibbit said, invites were disabled for quite a while, so the super-long wait times some folks have experienced shouldn't be seen as reflective of waits in future.
