For Auld Lang Syne...

Was going to say "For A-alph Le-em Zille, my Glitch" but thought that was a stretch. Anyway, I'm sure all of you know what this is about. We stand on the brink of a new year! 

Since 2012 will be the year of the dragon, I have a feeling that the stony sentry of Unnu Slight will be stirring tomorrow, awaiting your stories from 2011, your confessions, your resolutions, and maybe even the odd request. 

But that's tomorrow. Tonight is the night, and apparently a not-insignificant number of you will be celebrating the New Years right in the game. So, we've set up a small surprise for anyone who happens to be living it up in Ur at the stroke of midnight (Pacific Standard Time, as always). 

So for everyone who's planning a knock-out, throw-down, drag-out party tonight, tell people about it right here!

  • Like @GreyGoose, I'm usually comatose by midnight, but I'm such a Glitch fanatic now that you all may have provided a much-needed incentive to stay up!  I'll certainly come and join the Glitch-train at 10:00 pm (I'm PST), and after that, we'll see :)

  • I'm in Eastern Standard Time (where the ball drops). If you are there with me and on my buddy list at 12 midnight EST, I will invite you to my Winter Wingding at midnight EST. Maybe we can keep the party going for 3 hours (OMG) and catch the PST celebration, too.

  • Thanks Blanky and Tiny Speck!  It has been a Great Year for me and I am looking forward to 2012 being even better.  The Devs and Staff have all been everything I could have hoped for and the Game has been a great deal of Fun for me!  My New Years wish is that everyone here may have as much enjoyment as I have had.  Happy New Years Everyone!

  • happy glitch new year - god gave us sparklie crashes. :-(
    Posted 12 months ago by Pixieyelsraek Subscriber! | Permalink
  • What happened? I stayed up and then at 1:59 I crashed out....
    Posted 12 months ago by Xyrem Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah it could at least have been another color than usual xD A tad anticlimactic ...but still cute?
    Posted 12 months ago by Vegan Zombie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Xyrem - all that happened was god dropped sparkle powder on the whole Ur world - which crashed most of us who were congregated anyplace.

    ETA: For the record - i wasn't expecting an item, but i also wasn't expecting an anti-climatic game crash. that's all.

  • Well Happy New Year to everyone & I hope this new year treats everyone well. <3

    I too was hoping for more than sparkles but it *was* something, and it was a nice gesture to all of us who had nothing better to do on New Years Eve than sit at our computers and pet / nibble / plant / harvest/ etc.  *^_^*

  • i kinda thought there would be more. shrugs- happy new year . and it was very very laggy -crashy . the sparklies were pretty... ;)
    Posted 12 months ago by serenitycat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sparklies in my house. lol. This was a fun year, partially in thanks to having glitch to play. Have a happy new year everyone!
    Posted 12 months ago by MeansDarling Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I liked the sparkles, but I sort of wish that it said that it wouldn't be an item or anything rare, so I wouldn't have stayed up so late. We didn't get a Glitchmas item so I thought it was going to be a New Years item. 
    Posted 12 months ago by Sludge Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Awww I didnt hoped for a special item or so...but I hoped for that we would be able to buy or make fireworksie powders!! :D And when you tell ppl that there will be a surprise at midnight lol THEN make it some other color than usual :P Rainbowcolored sparkles would have been special <3
    Posted 12 months ago by Vegan Zombie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • was hoping for a rook attack.
    Posted 12 months ago by Sprezzatura Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm very disappointed... I was hoping for more or an rare item since we didn't get a glitchmas item.  :(
    I know that maybe I was hoping too much but, sparkles... crashy sparkles?!
    Posted 12 months ago by Lila Clemenceau Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I agree with those who have said since we didn't get a rare item at Glitchmas, maybe we'd get one on New Years... but still let's be happy with what we have.  And there *is* the possibility of course that the devs did have something bigger and more amazing planned but something happened and it fell through.  :: shrugs ::
    Posted 12 months ago by ♪♥~ Auren ~♥♪ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I like Sprezzatura's suggestion. =P
    Posted 12 months ago by Aoi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • :X ... Happy New Year...
    Posted 12 months ago by Lila Clemenceau Subscriber! | Permalink
  • For me, it was fully worth waking up just to see in New Year (again) with my friends and all the other glitches. Was far better than any "item" could ever have been.  Thank you all! :)   
    Happy New Year! :) *hugs* :D

  • Happy New Year!!  And I loved the sparkly shower! :D

    (Probably helped that I was on a street by myself at the time and not at a party, but still -- nice touch!)

    <3!

  • We got a gift at Glitchmas!! A cracker!! :D

    It was my second countdown for the new year, and by far the most enthusiastic :D

    They didn't say they were giving away anything on the Stroke of Midnight. They didn't even have to do anything, many games don't. And most, if anything, would probably be tomorrow during the actual day of New Years. Anyways, maybe keep an eye out on any of the mail frogs, drop in to Unnu Slight to see if the Dragon is walking around?

  • @aleph1 You have me in that picture, that is awesome!
    Posted 12 months ago by Wyrd One Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm happy that it was only sparkle powders...I missed glitch New Year by 10 minutes :) 
    However sparkle powder shower is cool idea :D
    Posted 12 months ago by Winkerdal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well, I had fun regardless of whatever expectations people may have had. I'm always amused when God speaks! XD
    Posted 12 months ago by Laerwen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sparkles were the small end of the stick. You want goodies? How about continuous radiation? How about all hooch, rainbow jumps, purple flowers, foods, hearts, splanks, moonwalks, etc., you could ever ask for? How about a free still? (yeah, someone walked off with it.)

    Seriously, what is wrong with you people. 'I didn't get a rarity.'
