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.

  • @jasbo -- In my own defense:

    I rarely ran out of things except on crazy street builds when we needed like 10 quintizillionbillionquartillion cherries.

    I shared happily with others.

    I sold what I could at auction and donated early and often.

    I was in the process of cleaning house BEFORE I knew we were resetting.

    I donated a crapton of stuff to the EoTW streets, including a very pretty OCD-tinged display of peat and blocks and such...before they disappeared...vanished...were absconded....but it was quite lovely while it lasted.

  • Thanks again b3achy!  Gertie Mack brought me some by yesterday and I've been using it since.  I called in sick this morning (still felt peaky, but mainly for playing lol) so we'll see.  I took generic DayQuil pills Sunday night and that was NOT good.  There's something trippy in them!  So I'm sticking to the Olive Leaf and Echinacea.  THanks again for the tip!

  • My question is this - I'm not a techy type (just married to one) but I still want, after testing is complete to be involved with Glitch, not just as a player. How can non techy types like me (I'm just a muso) help out? What can I do to help? oh, and PS, hope it doesn't open too late today - if I go to bed at 2am I will be soooo grumpy with my kid come 7am! (Isn't really my fault that I live in Europe...)

  • I'm here to update you! We're now planning on opening up the test in the early afternoon, Giants willing. Thank you, thank you for your patience, and expect to see a more concrete update later when we can be 100% sure of the opening time. I'll post here, and also on our @isglitchopen account.

  • Holy skyrocketing home prices!  I'm sure things are more "balanced" this way, but I just saw my once-and-future house's cost go from $2500 to $4000.  Eeep!  What else are you guys raising prices on?
    Posted 15 months ago by glum pudding Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Eep!
    My target house style went from 10k to 15k!

    Can't help but lol at this though:
    "What's more, you only have 100 currants. That sucks :("

    Edit: they evened it out at least, now the 3-tree houses cost less than the 5-tree houses, and the decorations don't affect the price, just the capacity.

  • Bio I laughed so much when I saw that too ... "What's more, you only have 100 currants. That sucks :("

  • mine from 8K to 15K  Yike yike yike!

  • Aw... my home went to 15000... But if it's going to 15000, it damn well better get a 32 slot-cabinet like the others at its price! :(   It's so sad that it's exactly the same feature-wise except for that, and that homes that were a bit cheaper also had the 32-slot cabinets.

    ETA (for clarity):

    House style I do not desire, 15000c now (used to be cheaper than the next one): 5 Patches, a 32-slot storage cabinet, 1 Trophy Case, and 16 Crop Garden plots. beta.glitch.com/realty/LA9C...

    House style I do desire, also 15000c now: 5 Patches, a 24-slot storage cabinet, 1 Trophy Case, and 16 Crop Garden plots. beta.glitch.com/realty/LA9C...

    Sadface. :(

    The price changes seem reasonable and don't bother me any. Just crossing my fingers and hoping some of the little things like that get balanced. :)

  • Ok I'm sorry but we definitely passed the "early afternoon" mark!!

    Now I'm rooting for "late afternoon" (3pm PDT) so I can get home from work 
    Posted 15 months ago by Laurali Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This thread was updated a bit ago to say "early afternoon." ...of which I think they've probably got at least another 80 minutes .
    Posted 15 months ago by La_La Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yea, I'm hoping it'll be another hour til it opens. >.> Then I'll be home from work and free to play. But I'm glad that at the moment I won't be missing 2-3 hours of the beginning like I thought I might. Just an hour if it opens soonish.

  • I'm just hoping that they aren't drawing straws, to see who has to get in the barrel again.
    Posted 15 months ago by Marvingy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • 2 pm could be early afternoon!!!
    It's only 1:42 here (and there). I'd say Early Afternoon means Before Kids Are Done School, which is usually around 3ish.

    But the problem with that is, we were also told a specific time would be updated once they got one.
    They haven't, thus they don't have a time yet, thus it probably won't be in the next 16 minutes.
    Posted 15 months ago by Biohazard Subscriber! | Permalink
  • well I personally would consider early afternoon to be 12-1pm.  2pm and after seems to me to be just afternoon, no early lol.  Once you get to 3 you are getting to late afternoon/early evening
    Posted 15 months ago by Laurali Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'ts nearly 2:00 their time I don't count much after that as early afternoon.
    Posted 15 months ago by koolaroo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Personally, I hope that once the devs get everything in the software ready to go that they take an hour or two (or more) to get some food, and sleep, and destress time.  Not only does the software need to be in shape, but the people do too. 

    If something breaks when we all pile in, I don't want a tired dev "fixing" it so that it breaks even more.

  • Evening starts at 5. :D

    My measurement of time is the only valid measurement of time in the entire universe, btw.

    I would say, Early = 12-2, Mid = 2-3, Late = 3-5.

    But by early, I often just assume it means Within The First Half Of, thus bringing us to 2:30.
    Some people don't have a Mid-Afternoon/Mid-Morning/Mid-Evening setting, only Early and Late.

  • Oh yeah, and re: the George R.R. Martin discussion, guess what I'm occupying my time with whilst I wait for game to open? "A Dance With Dragons!"
    Posted 15 months ago by La_La Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah I have the same idea of times Bio, but since its 9 til 2:00pm, it's not really early anymore, unless the game opens within the next 9, now 8, minutes!

    Still keeping my fingers crossed they will wait until I get home :)  I'll be home around 3pm your time Tiny Speck!

  • MER! I have dance at 7, it needs to go live soon so I can play! Not to be obnoxious, however, because I appreciate the work the Dev's put into the program :)

  • It's 10:08pm - Looks like I will be playing early wednesday morning.. :)
    Posted 15 months ago by Cryztal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • While it would be disheartening, I would rather the devs take the time now and get it *perfect* for us so as to make a smooth transition.  Plus..... the later in the week the closer to the weekend in case I come down with glitchitis and need to take a couple days off.

  • I'm the opposite. I can do without the glam. at this point, I would be happy with stick figures.
