The Reset

It's time (almost). Time to let go, time to start afresh. Time to reset.

You said to make it painless, and we did our best job ripping off the proverbial band-aid for the last time. By the beginning of next test you'll find that most of your possessions have vanished. Here's a list of what to expect. This is, verily, the last test before the reset.

Everyone freak out! Or not. We haven't forgotten everything you've done to help Glitch make the unforgettable, addicting game it is, and there'll be another test (starting next week) before the flood gates open! You'll have Glitch to yourself for a little longer.

What will *you* be doing on the eve of this brave new Ur?

  • It makes no difference really. Next time you enter the game, you will have no skills.

  • I forgot to put my x-mas yeti in my bag. Is there anyway I can get him back???  He is in my storage cabinet?

  • Invite only even after launch? I hadn't even thought of that, but that might help me breathe a bit easier again.

    Still excited and nervous though. Of course I want Glitch to "succeed", like most all of us testers most likely, and I'm sooo ready for it to go live and be a more sensible part of my daily routine -  rather than the total binge thing whenever it's open for test. I'm excited for all of us.

  • Erik, the giants are apparently taking pity on those who left their specialty items in home storage. In other words, a yeti in the cupboard is a yeti you'll recover. A pickle on the ground is a pickle you'll have found.

  • Saw a post from one of the players in another thread that the creation of the "new group" area that it would be going away with the reset.  Can you set the record straight, the private group streets created in the last moments of the game, will they remain? (Please please say yes)

  • Whoa this will be hilarious everyone skillless.   Any ideas when we will be able to play again?  If we start up skills will they also be erased again ?

  • @dopiaza: I know that trying to get my last skill before reset isn't rational. :-)

    @xoxJulie:
    1) We will only be unskilled for a short while. I wonder if I should start a BarryW LinkdIn account and add my Glitch skills to my resume?

    2) TS will be opening up Ur some time next week.

    3) This is the final, ultimate and last reset. Any skills acquired, items made, currants earned badges pinned on and houses purchased will be yours forever.

  • Fingers crossed they don't open until at least Thursday...I forgot I have a work commitment that day, so pulling an all nighter Wednesday evening might not be the smartest thing...and if they reopen Thursday...I can just take Friday off to get a long weekend of bleary eyed Glitching...

  • Yea, Monday would work too Shepherdmoon...thought I'd be dragging worse than usual most of the week - but guess I could take Tues/Wed off to recover before Thurs...but considering they often start Wed or later when they say...we'll be back next week...

  • Correct me if i'm wrong but are you saying there's another test to get a "head start" before the flood gates open? Or was the last test the last one we'll have?
    Posted 15 months ago by Britt_39 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Britt no need to correct you. No flood gates though. I believe for a little while it will still be invite only. No mass opening. But 24/7 playtime  :)

  • The next time the game opens will be a test. It will close after some as-of-yet unannounced time period, and then, when it opens again after that, we'll be 24/7!

  • Where did you see that, Shepherd?
    The only thing I've been able to find about the game closing down, again was this - We will have to take the game down from time to time for maintenance reasons, but these will be really rare.

  • @sgjo: a dev said it in the forums earlier... I'll try to find the post and link to it here, but it's hard to find things with the bad search engine on these forums, so I'm not promising anything.... I will edit this post when I'm done looking for it...

    EDIT: actually, it's also possible GOD said it in game. But I KNOW a dev said it sometime somewhere... help me out, anyone that remembers...

    EDIT: Ack, can't find the forum post where Stoot talked about the reset and the final test before opening. I KNOW I'm not imagining it, but it was awhile ago and the forum search function doesn't seem to be ordered in any particular way (including by date), so it's impossible to find anything there...

    EDIT AGAIN: Joe Blow found it: http://beta.glitch.com/forum/general/5150/#reply-46618
