Welcome new players!

Welcome to all new Glitches!

You will probably have tons of questions, which I (and I'm sure most of the olderGlitches) won't mind answering.
There is too much that can be said here, too many tips and spoilers, so I won't do that.

Just some things to keep in mind:
All threads started from before today are beta-posts, meaning they could be about things that aren't anymore. Also, some discussions can be about things that have changed. Or people themselves have changed.

We've become a tight community and welcome everyone to it. This tight community has the occasional internal clash, but we get stronger because of it. As many individuals there are playing Glitch, so many opinions are there on certain matters.
On several matters we just can't decide. Some people think a, some b, and some keep changing their minds (I am probably one of the latter). (Recurring themes: community gardens, griefing, adjusting ones behaviour or not. In general: morals and values). Feel welcome to add your 2 cents (or dimes, roepies, franks, kronen, mark, pennies, diamonds)

We love to help (though sometimes we love to relax from a hard day work and want to stay in our shell). In our love to help we might be too eager some times and spoil a nice discovery you could have made on your own, so be warned when asking for help if you like to discover things on your own!
We love to argue (I think), and most of us love complete sentences and good grammar. Most of us can read typonese though. We love jumping, and parties. We love hapiness, but a little mischief is ok too. We love creativity, enthousiasm, exploring, curiosity.

We love interaction.(Though ofcourse, sometimes we prefer our Zen-zone)
Please don't hesitate to speak to a stranger, and don't be scared if one speaks to you.

I hope you all will have as much fun in here as we do, and that you will very soon feel a part of "we" too!

Little disclaimer: I do not represent the community. If there are n players in this community, I represent 1/nth of this community.

  • Miriamele, I couldn't imagine a better introduction than this one. Welcome new players! Stick around to do strange things with awesome people. Or should that be "awesome things with strange people"?....Oh well, stick around to do stuff!

  • Don't mind Blanky. Now that Glitch is live she has nothing to do since she can't respond to our constant nagging about when will Glitch open back up.

    p.s. When you see the "Staff" logo next to someone's name you will know that on the scale of awesomeness from 1 - 10, they are a 12.

  • Welcome new players...sometimes groups are hard to find, but here is the Newbie Social Group that was formed by Hawkwell (who is now an old-bie ;)  ).  Hope it helps...has lots of good Newb info in it!

  •  What Miriamele said.
    I've met a handful of of you new players. You're fabulous. I barely knew how to dress myself when I first arrived.

  • Hey folks;
    New to Glitch, since monday, interesting game to say the least, I am pleasantly surprised at how much fun I am having, Seems like a great community to :)

  • Another tip: Glitch is most difficult when you start, but it gets easier later on ;)
    Just stick to a few things, take it slow, don't rush. Plenty of time to rush in real life!

  • Bump---for the benefit of new players entering the game over the weekend.  Welcome, new players. Onwards and upwards!

  • I just started a day ago, how do you get an emblem? 
    Posted 15 months ago by Exuion Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Exuion, emblems are attained when you have accumulated the max number of favor points required for a particular giant.  So when you donate to a shrine, for example, you get xp points and favor points from that Giant,  and you can see how many points you are expected to accrue when you select Check Favor at the shrine--once you have hit that mark, the shrine gives you an emblem.

  • While small I found a small shin y object but hadn't realised. I was asked if  I was stuck and did I want to leave, so Isaid yes. So how do I get back to the hairball?
    Posted 15 months ago by IrenicRhonda Subscriber! | Permalink
  • HI Exuion -
    You get an emblem by earning "favor" with the giants.  You can do that by contributing to their shrine (usually looks like a birdbath on the street)  or doing things they like.

    You can see where you stand for a particular Giant when you are at their shrine.  Click on the shrine and select "check favor."  When you do something that gains favor, you will see a little red star with a number along with the smile face for mood and lightening bolt for energy.  

    If I am not very clear, please ask more questions.  I clearly remember how confusing the game was at first. 

    ETA:  I type really slow :)
