#### We are back!

And it’s up! The grand Imagination Conversion of ‘12 completed a few minutes ago.
Two big things in the game changed with this update: we’ve switched to the new Imagination system and overhauled the UI.
Glitches now have Imagination (iMG) instead of experience points (xp). As you gain Imagination by playing, you can spend it on Upgrades (as well as expanding and cultivating your property … and other stuff, still to come).
The various Upgrade Cards do things like increase your brain capacity, add one-off improvements to skills you’ve learned, increase bonuses for activities in the game and even enable whole new capabilities. You can choose from 3 possible Upgrade Cards at any given time. You’ll be able to “re-shuffle” to see different upgrades once each game day.
We also reorganized and modified the game interface to streamline, simplify and better reflect these changes. Look in the upper left corner to check out the new energy and mood display, as well as the revamped “player menu” (just click on your pretty face). The iMG button next to it opens the “imagination menu” which is the new home for skills, upgrades, and moving back and forth from the surface world to imaginary spaces, like your house.
Of course, there’s a lot more detail than mentioned here. If you want the nitty-gritty, check out the FAQ! http://www.glitch.com/help/faq/#imagination
So get in game and check it out. We love reading your feedback and be sure to let us know of any problems you encounter.
See you in game!
---------
Q: Where is the keyring?
A: It is disabled temporarily; it will be back in the game, but not right away.
Q: The new growl messages (explanation/notification text at the bottom of the screen) are bugging me!
A: We are still working on the final design for this, but they will bug you a lot less soon anyway, since a large number of them will just stop showing up and go straight to your activity log (e.g., almost all animal interactions, since those already give you feedback via talk bubbles).
Q: I see random XP notices here and there!
A: We haven't taken all out yet, but we've got most of them cleaned up. If you see something else, go ahead and open a case and we'll be sure it's on the list if it isn't already.

- Mayor Quimby, I dare not complain that we are back up. The only inquiry I have is...do I get any imagination? I have refreshed and still sit at "0" just curious.

- What happened to our better learning skills? Those were useful. Do skills just take forever now or is there a replacement to them?
  edit: nevermind, just saw the FAQ

- For those on their /home streets wondering how to get 'back to world' you need to click on the 'img' cloud and it gives you options :) I was rather confused for a sec there lol

- TY kevbob. can't get in game or load skills page. only thing I can do is see forums and my home page. Í've tried different browsers too
  Posted 7 months ago by KinOfWolf~♥ | Permalink
- YAY! Thank you Tiny Speck!
  The new UI looks great! Off to go play around with it now. :)

- May I take this opportunity to invite everyone to the group "Them What Don't Nag the Devs on the First Day of a New Release"?
  We take the high road. We presume the devs love us for it.

- I can't get in either. Getting an error and it's stuck on 'unpacking'.
  Posted 7 months ago by Saiai | Permalink
- KinOfWolf, it's not your browsers, it definitely was our problem. We think you are fixed now!
  Er, not sure about that actually.
  Posted 7 months ago by kevbob | Permalink
- Love the new UI guys! Excellent job!
  Posted 7 months ago by Zoethor2 | Permalink
- Ack! Gotta say all the little action updates at the bottom animating off to the right are WAY distracting. Couldn't they just fade out? Or, could we have the option of turning them off and seeing them in local chat only?

- I might be missing something, but i am not seeing where the keyring has been moved to.

- I can't seem to exit my home street?

- need more Imagination on actual life.
  Posted 7 months ago by kt | Permalink
- Yeah, I still can't get in. I've tried every browser I have on this computer.
  [UncaughtErrorEvent type="uncaughtError" bubbles=true cancelable=true eventPhase=2]
  TypeError: Error #1009
  I keep getting that error.
  Posted 7 months ago by Saiai | Permalink
- Woot!
  Posted 7 months ago by SeerQueen | Permalink
- I'm in the same situation as Saiai. :/ Submitted a bug report with the flash error and did all the "help, I can't get in" suggestions in the FAQ, no luck yet.

- Glad it's not just me. :( I'm very sad right now.
  Posted 7 months ago by Saiai | Permalink
- Me too. <hug>

- KinOfWolf, can you try again now please?
  Posted 7 months ago by kevbob | Permalink
- My problem: I am loving the new Glitch but its hard to find everything! I will get used to it though.

- Folks, if you are having problems getting in the game, please go through these steps and then try the self help test and send it in if there are still problems.
  Posted 7 months ago by kevbob | Permalink
- I am so happy.
  THANK YOU!

- Where is my mood meter?
  Posted 7 months ago by WindBorn | Permalink
- Feedback:
  Can't find the house key menu -- am I just missing it, has that changed, or was it accidentally left out?
  I see that some of us were given some upgrades, but I can't find a way to see what upgrades I already have, which I just bought, etc. Is there a way? If not, it's definitely, definitely necessary.
  Posted 7 months ago by Red Sauce | Permalink
- @WindBorn: The icon of your Glitch in the upper left corner is now the mood meter. Click on it to get a drop-down of stats.
  Posted 7 months ago by Wrdnrd | Permalink
- I have a question that was not answered yet in the FAQ. Do the upgrade cards re-shuffle themselves at intervals, or do they remain the same until you manually shuffle them.
  Example: I have a pretty nice Energy upgrade card waiting for me in there, but am trying to decide if I want to buy it now or not. If I leave it there and try to think about it to make a decision, will it eventually be reshuffled back into the deck if I do not click the Reshuffle button? IE, do I have to make my decision fast, or can it wait indefinitely?
  Posted 7 months ago by Biohazard | Permalink
- Saucelah- it is not in the game at this time (see the top post)
  Windborn: Your face in the upper left reflects your mood. Click that for the numbers.

- Ran the self test, sent in an addition to my help report.
  Only thing that failed was Flash, but I know my flash is outdated, but I cannot upgrade it due to my computer. Does this mean I can no longer Glitch?
  Posted 7 months ago by Saiai | Permalink
- My problem: stuck in backwoods Michigan, with no internet connection except for my phone, until NEXT WEEK THURSDAY!!! *bangs head against nearby trees and rocks, which I cannot pet or mine*
  Arrrrrvgggghhhh!

- If you buy upgrades now will they go away after the housing change and stuff?
  Posted 7 months ago by Pickle Bob | Permalink
- Love the new interface!
  Now, I know I'm probably being really dense but I've read the FAQ and still haven't worked out how to see what upgrades I have already?
  I know I must have snapshotting, because I've tried it.
  I have all the skills, but if I hover over say, Mining IV, it says 99 days - is that the time without any brain capacity etc upgrade applied? so not the actual time it would take if I still had it to learn?
  Posted 7 months ago by geekybird | Permalink
- @kevbob...made it in. still have no imagination though. well..in RL i do...but not in UR
  THANK YOU for getting me in!!!
  WOOHOO!!! i have imagination now!!!!
  Posted 7 months ago by KinOfWolf~♥ | Permalink
- jsyk, I can't see the bottom of my bags when one of them is open. I cannot change any general computer settings to work with it (resolution, minimum text size) because they are adjusted for my eyesight and zooming out in-browser doesn't work with flash.
  Posted 7 months ago by Csophae | Permalink
- I take it you mean the keys?
  Any way to see which upgrades we have? I'm assuming I received some, but seeing them would make me stop feeling antsy that I am not getting those cards.
  Posted 7 months ago by Red Sauce | Permalink
- Mood meter found: click on your own face
  Posted 7 months ago by WindBorn | Permalink
- The white text at the bottom of the screen (after I complete an action) is hard to read. I liked it being close to the same height on the screen as my character. If my character isn't standing up too high, I guess it's not a problem.
  I LOVE the imagination upgrade cards!
  Posted 7 months ago by SallySomeone | Permalink
- Someone, someone please explain something to me because I'm just not getting it from the FAQ. I learned Mining 4, it took me 3 seconds to mine before. Now it takes me 8 seconds. I have to buy upgrade cards to get back a skill I already had? Which ones?
  Posted 7 months ago by Csophae | Permalink
- I really like the interface and think it tidies everything up. I especially like the buffs up the top and I like messages appearing along the bottom of the screen as opposed to being in local chat. Everything feels more centralised and clear. The cards are a great new bonus! It will be interesting to see how players use those to strategise/enhance their game play.
  I have noticed, however, that going afk now particularly zaps your energy pool, not liking that one so much. I also do not like the numbers on the bottom of the bags as they look like a ruler and do not match in with the excellent design of the rest of the interface. Hovering over a bag to see a quantity was neater.

- My calendar info says "0 imagination gained" for today despite the fact that I've been petting and harvesting and whatnot and getting lots of little iM notices.
