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?

  • *runs around waving arms in the air screaming* No, seriously though, I am SO, SO glad to have been part of the testing! The reuniting with my Faunasphere friends, and the making of so many new ones was awesome in and of itself, but to discover this wonderful world of Glitch, well, there just are no sufficient words to describe how I love it - from the quirky sense of humor to the whimsical and charming art of the game - I just could never say enough. So... thank you for letting me be a part of bringing this world to life! (((Tiny Speck)))

  • If you are like me and waited until the launch was just about to happen to take advantage of the 2-for-1 credit bonus, now is the time!

  • Easy come, easy go. Time to clean out my house, round up the rest of the cubimals and bid farewell to the egg plants. It's been a fine run.

  • I'm so excited!!
    Alpha and beta were so much fun and I thank you all so much for letting me be a part of this wonder game and getting to watch it grow and expand into one of the most awesome games!!

    I can hardly wait til the next test...er...the game to begin again and start all over again knowing that it will be open no matter when I want to play - then it'll be time to actually kick back and relax, not having to feel like I'm in a rush to get things done ... just enjoy the game!!

  • Thank you all at Tiny Speck for giving us this time and making it such a special experience. It's both exciting and daunting at the same time but I'm really looking forward to getting into it again now that the time has come.

    Thanks again for bringing this special place to life for us. :)

  • Ready and waiting for the reset, sold almost everything I'd hoarded, spent all my gains on Cubimals :) 

    Well done TS - I foresee a great future for Glitch!!

  • I always enjoy the reset after beta testing. It's the possibility to do things in my personal 'perfect way'. 
    I am also pretty scared. The downtime was necessary for me to get things done in real life. This is going to take some bigtime willpower. 

    ps: My heartfelt  thanks to Tiny Speck for allowing me to be part of this wonderful experience. 
    I love you all. 
    pps: I'm getting to know some exceptional people here. Thanks for leaving us the friends list :)

  • WOW!  Looking forward to reset!  It has been a wonderful alpha and beta testing experience and I can't wait to see what the future of Glitch will hold for us!  Tiny Speck...you are the best!

  • *Snif*.  I love that Glitch is preparing to go live, because the little piglet is about to become a piggy!  But I can't help but feel nostalgic, already, for all the great times we've had in alpha and beta!  

    (hugs) Love to Tiny Speck for making such a wonderful place for all of us to meet and play.

  • THANK YOU TS !!!  xxooxxooxxoo

    So we really have to make the best of the next "test".  Any hint on when it will start or last, mainly for us that have to get babysitters, take leave from work, freeze dinners so the family won't starve, get the port-a-potty back from the "get aHead" company...etc etc etc.

  • A reset! And I've just bought a house, too...
    Kidding. I'm really excited to see Glitch go live - think I'd better go use up all my food ingredients and stuff myself while I can!

  • Thanks TS for for allowing me to be a beta tester. It has been so great to be a part of this wonderful fun game. Looking forward to doing it all over again.

  • Wow.  

    Spent my 10-minutes of pre-leave-for-work gametime petting all my piggies and (in an entirely symbolic and meaningless gesture) set my chickens and butterflies free (sorry piggies - no menu option to let you stampede out of the pen).

    Then I disassembled and picked up the blockmaker and fuelmaker in my yard and sold everything I was carrying - worth about 90K.  Sheesh!

    THEN took my emblems and donated them to the GFJ installation.  Then... goodbye to all that.  I probably won't make it to any EOTW party unless I want to risk a quick login from work. 

    Looking forward to seeing all your shiny faces on the flipside, folks.  Thanks for letting me be a part of the beta period, Tiny Speck.  It's been a blast.

  • Wow. I feel an odd mixture of joy and wistfulness.

    I feel honored to have been a part of this. I am thankful for the opportunity and grateful for the real and true friends I have made.

    Let's do this!!

  • I thought I was a Buddhist but seems I was a vacuous materialist all along - oh my house, my house, oh my stuff, my stuff...

    Seriously though extra special thanks Tiny Speck for letting us be part of this.

    Ooh I'm all giddy now.

  • We get to keep the "awesome community" (stoot's words), so it's perfectly fine!

    Thanks, Tiny Speck. I just bought my subscription.

  • speechless, bursts into tears,

    ok a few words,

    I have been so blessed to have been a part of this pre launch period, to have found the most amazing friends, to have witnessed dreams being born, to have stood beside those who have formed our dreams into the fabric of Ur and helped us to learn what a truely wonderful place this is. We will in the new age look back and see these days as a small wonderous Tiny Speck of light that grew steadily until it was ready to shine in the world. I truely believe we have witnessed the birth of a World of Giant Imagination.

    We go forward together as a community into a new dawn, each knowing that as we do so we will grow Ur into something the Giants are proud to imagine.

    Thank you for giving this to me, to share with each and every one of you.

    (((hugs)))

    Thank you so much, TS, for letting us all be a part of this.

  • It's been a great and wonderful ride, TS.

    Thank you for your perseverance, your tireless work, and due diligence in crafting the brightest star in the vast firmament of online fun. Your commitment to excellence is reflected in our commitment to you.

    More superlatives and praises won't do justice. Just a simple affirmative that so many of use looking for a unique adventure and departure from the norm have at last found a home.

    Thank you.

  • Thanks so much for the days and days of fun and the wonderous place you took us to, the absurd and the unique. What a magical place Ur is and we get a do over, boy I wish I could have gotten a do over in RL. But the expericence has been great and I was just winding down on my last few skills so now that will begin again and even more places to travel too.
    Can't wait for it to happen.....yippy for 24/7.

  • It's been such a privilege to be allowed to participate in testing this game (not sure how much help I was though...lol) This game has certainly helped to "pick me up" during some trying times in RL. Kudos to Tiny Speck and all their staff. I will miss my little menagerie that was created and my garden.

    Am looking forward to the reset and eventual launch!

  • Being a part of the beta test has been beautiful. I am now officially obsessed with the beginning of the post-reset test. See you all on the other side!

  • Thanks for the good times, look forward to starting again.

    I didn't get too high in levels, only to 16, but I had fun and will be back.

    Tonight (today for you, I'm in Australia) I had a great time, I experimented a lot because I didn't feel the need to save currants, so I bought gnomes, donated them to level up, found some purple and took it for the first time (trippy!), crushed and aged cheese until I went to Hell (for the first time) - it was great!!

    Thanks Tiny Specksters!!

    See you all after the reset! :-D

  • I  too would like to thank the Devs for coming up with such an enjoying, addictive and original game. But I'd also like to thank al the other players and friends I've made who've helped to improve the gaming experience both technically and just by being friends.

    And if there's a Mega-Party today please spill the beans (they don't have to be seasoned).
