  • Thanks snazzlefrazz however I've noticed the game has already been up and running for some time?

    It'd just be good if there was some kind of query page

  • @James BAckstab

    The game isn't running at this time.  The "closed" sign over the "enter the world button" is still there.

  • I realise. I'm looking for an automated solution that checks to see when the game is up and informs you.

  • people use twitter and SMS notification for updates on the @isglitchopen feed. I keep meaning to sign up but always end up balking at giving twitter my phone number. :)

  • yeah i've got that. just thought it would be good if there was some way of querying a server as such rather than relying on someone tweeting.

  • Essentially checking beta.glitch.com for the following the source could do it i guess. the server would need to be authenticated just to see it.

  • DeBug-Thingie installed (I think), cache etc cleared, sodas chilling in fridge, microwave on stand by for making fresh popcorn, note pad opened, and pencils sharpened, ready to play! =D

  • +1 to Rascalmom

    Now let's see the conversion table... Pacific time is how much different from Central European Time...
    Hmm its UTC-8, I live in UTC+1, so it's 9 hr difference, afternoon is from 12:00, then it's 21:00hrs here, and I doubt it will be open at 12:00PT so will be even later here, and as I am going on a tiny holiday the next day I think I have to pass on this one.

    Everyone have fun though :)

  • Now that's a pretty definitive answer to all our requests.  Thanks Stoot

  • hallo Miriamele :-) Zo is dat altijd met de opening vrees ik. Steeds een dag later is pas voor ons. Heel zonde.
    Jammer dat je niet mee kunt spelen met deze ronde..had je graag ff "ontmoet"
    Maar heel veel plezier met je korte vakantie!!

    Just saying we always have to wait till the day after when Glitch opens, because of the time difference. So for us, it will be fridaymorning.

  • It's 825pm and already I'm thinking of locking the doors checking the windows and turning out the lights. I do have to be up before 4am... The consequences of living where I do. *Pouts.*

  • @SQUIRT: I totally, totally got your joke and meant to respond (Hey! I had to get up before I went to bed and lick the street clean wi' my tongue!) But I was so focused on other stuff I wanted to say that I forgot:)

    @stoot: So glad to hear you are headed off for a break (if you even see this). Have a blast! :) Hugs!

  • Ty  Stoot for the update and hope both your flights are safe and comfortable ,myself I would rather play Glitch and sail down the coast.lol
    Posted 18 months ago by Jellybelly Baby Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The tweet said 18 hrs...so that means "roughly" 2PM PDT...give or take a time or two.  @RM, you said it so well, they need time off but they are driven to go "live" so life may be a little better once they've met that target.  They ROCK and continue to simply amaze and delight.

  • Rascalmom, knew I could count on you! Catch you later I hope!
    Posted 18 months ago by SQUIRT Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I know it sounds weird... but that fact that Glitch is only open on certain days makes it more addictive. You find you plan around the openings... which items to learn... which to ignore. The I stock up with things before the game goes offline just so that I can be ready when it's back up.

    You guys may have stumbled onto an interesting piece of gameplay where you could set up features which are only available during the 'work' week versus those which might only be available at the weekend. Of course the game calendar would be affected but it would allow additional features.

  • It's still not afternoon in SF time/PST, lol. Or as I still like to call it, "Narnia time." :D
    Posted 18 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Gavin, that doesn't sound weird at all. It's a psychological effect that prevents a plateau.
    Posted 18 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thank you for letting us know stoot!!! It saves a lot of nerves :)
    Posted 18 months ago by Miss Muffett Subscriber! | Permalink
  • OK. If you insist.

  • Countdown Timer link

    Updated to 2:00 PM US PT as the latest expect re-open time.

    Edit: Changed the timer host because of time zone issues. Not as pretty.

    2:00 PM came and went and still no glitch. New edit for 5:00 PM US PT

  • Where did you get the "12 pm" bit? 

    In both the tweet and this post, stoot just says "Thursday afternoon".  Sometimes that has been as late as 6 or 7 pm on Thursday.
    Posted 18 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hiya Stoot! Thanks for the information...us UK glitchers are really rooting for the test to start at the 18 hr point...or as soon as possible before bedtime! Can't wait, thanks again :)
    Posted 18 months ago by Violet Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, I've been hearing various things, such as 12pm, 2pm, and 5pm (in PST).

    Also, as I've said before, most of the time it seems the devs themselves are ncertain of game time because they CAN'T be certain everything will pan out smoothly and completely be ready for any set time. That just happened last week. And a couple of weeks before that.

    Sometimes I worry if we put too much pressure on the devs...

  • ...are we there yet?
    Posted 18 months ago by Momo McGlitch Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That was a cute movie :)
    Can we get one of the killer deer in the game?

  • Reminder: Glitch beta "trailer."
    Posted 18 months ago by Lord Bacon-o Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Haha, I've seen that trailer a few times now, Coming "Soon" always makes me laugh.

  • Don't forget that Cupcake did mention 2 p.m PDT and her dad is a dev...so she might know:)
    Posted 18 months ago by RM Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, well, devs have been known to make announcements that were off by nearly 24 hours, too.

    But, I'm betting on Cupcake this time
    Posted 18 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well fair point, WindBorn, hehehehe
    Posted 18 months ago by RM Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Is it sad that i'm seriously considering flying home from work right now so I can be home when it opens? LOL ;)
