On the EOTW, and its approaching rebirth. (aka The Next Test)

You guys really threw down on Wednesday. Whoa. We were glued to our screens with a sense of wonderment and, at times, mischievous glee as you dumped all of your possessions and battered against the very limits of the game. Huzzah! For the nostalgia-prone amongst you and for those who missed out, links to some stunning screenshots:

Emblem mountain in Feman Falters
Chain of orbs in Valia Shede
Discovery of floating cubimals
The party that choked hell 

Now, on to the next test. Couldn't help but notice all the cries of WWIO around here, and thought, "What the heck, why don't we just put them out of their misery."  

So: We are aiming to open on Tuesday (September 20th) - OPEN NOW

What are you in for? Your future is bright, your pockets are light. You'll go through the tutorial one last time and you'll decide which of several streets in Groddle you'll resurface on to seal your reincarnation. And *we* will be glued to our screens once more.

  • Many Thanks Blanky!  We are trying to be very good and patient because we appreciate Glitch so very much.

  • There it is!  Right there!  I called it hours ago that there would be the "Go read a book" comment, funny thing is the people who say that are sitting here doing the same exact thing

  • Lol Laurali. You were absolutely, literally right!

    Meanwhile...

    LET'S WHINE! LOUDLY! :)

  • Thank you for the update, Blanky! I'm both chomping at the bit, and, as a game dev myself, totally understanding the delay.

    Who needs sleep tonight, anyhow? I certainly don't.

    Actually, the devs need sleep tonight. Please force them to get sleep. Bugs can wait until tomorrow. *sings a lullaby to the devs*

    @Laurali - I'm totally reading a book while I check in every hour or so :P

  • Pull their noses OFF the grindstones!!! It's probably the blood spatter that's making it hard for them to fix the client!

  • All those people whining, and complaing and repeatedly pasting 'open'.... You are not being helpful. Go read a book or something.

  • Yes +1 Feylin.  Doesn't it get old to have people constantly monitoring what you do and say?  Let people be excited.

    And also, as glum pudding so rightly put it, a great way to get removed from friends lists!

  • beautiful video!

    And I'm of the mindset that the "OPEN" screams are excitement. I know mine are. :)

  • Is this thread making a record for longest ever?
    Posted 15 months ago by Paxton Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I am a little worried that some people might get SO EXCITED that they pass right out, lol.   I'm beginning to wonder if I won't be picking Glitches up off the street in Groddle and fanning them just after the game opens.

    Honestly, if we want to run around, posting excessively , squeeing like the ridiculous fans that we are (and we ALL are)...where's the harm?  At the worst, all we are doing is entertaining Blanky who has to read every silly thing that gets posted.

    I like all the silly things, personally. :)

  • TY Blanky.  We appreciate the update and the hard work.  Please make sure that those with the "horrible cold" get lots of fluids and some REST!!

    Posted 15 months ago by Apathy Explosion Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I completely agree Feylin.  Where is the harm?  If it bothers you, you don't have to keep reading it all!  After all, we all know you should be reading a book anyways.

  • OMG I GET IT! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Maria!

    They've got their noses to the grindstone in an attempt to get rid of Stoot's infectious cold! Silly devs. That's not how you get rid of a cold. You just have to get the beans out of your noses!

    That's what Blanky said up above!

    Dunno about you all, but I rather view that as a challenge! ;)

    Also, someone earlier started a thread in "Ideas" for forum navigation improvements, I know this thread has really highlighted for me some of the things I'd like to see (stress tests for the win!). Go post your ideas!

  • Rather than post "OPEN OPEN OPEN" I have decided to post something helpful as has been suggested. I could post something random and entertaining to help my fellows past the time, or I could be helpful to the developers to make it open faster. I have decided to help the developers. So I am going to go and write some code for them right now.
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Okay, I don't know how to write code. I don't know what code I should be writing if I did. I don't know if it would be on target or helpful to them at all. I don't know how to get that code to them.
    .
    .
    .
    Well, struck out. Time to go back to complaining. <Whining> My car has a flat tire. Why can't you fix that. You should have made an update that repairs flat tires for subscribers. I paid good money for you people to serve me!

  • Oh, don't me wrong, excitement is all well and good, i've woken up every hour since midnight, and its nearly 7 now...
    But filling a post with the word open is just a waste of time. And it's not fair on the devs to be told by many many impatient glitches to 'open now' 'i want to play' 'i'm so impatient, you should be working even harder because I should already be in game' ....

    We're beta testers. Doing THEM a favour to help see if there are problems before releasing a game. They don't owe us anything as they've already let us into their works earlier than the public.

    Excitement?

    OPEN OPEN OPEN!

    Or brown-nosing?

    GO READ A BOOK AND STOP BOTHERING POOR BLANKY!

    Posted 15 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • SlimeNose, I really have to disagree that the people saying "I want it open!" "I want to play!" means that they are really saying "I'm entitled to play this, open it right now!!!" *stomps foot*

    You don't get the sense of cheering? Of super excited fans barely containing their shared excitement? 

    Sad, if you don't. It's kinda fun to be over here, with all the other crazies, being giddy about the prospect of starting to play again.

  • GiaToria, Feylin, Laurali - amen to that.  Maybe I should be removed too, as I have found it all quite amusing ^_^  although not as amusing as Innie's videos - have you seen them?

    Thanks for the update Blanky :)  I have now drunk a bottle of wine whilst hitting Cmd R now and then and enjoying all the twitchy glitchy madness, so I doubt I will make it past midnight here.  I shall look forward to tomorrow when fingers crossed it's either open or getting close.

    Good luck TS and squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    I AM SO GRATEFUL JUST TO BE NEAR YOU IN THE FORUMS BLANKY I DON"T NEED THE GAME YET YOU PROVIDE ANYWAY!

    See how it's done.

  • @flask: YESSS this is true.

    I have to leave the party now! Silly rl commitments. One hopes that when I get back in 3 hours, it will be open!
