What's the rumor for next play day?

This is a recycled topic - but asking the same question 

Father's Day is just about over, Glitch has been closed all weekend.

Does anyone have a clue when we might open besides "soon"

Last time game closed I was in the middle of transporting and don't know if I'm just a pile of pixels floating around in cyper-space or if I made it in the front door.

Looking for any information, even maybes

  • As someone who usually works all weekend, I personally can't help but hope for a test in midweek. Like, starting Wednesday, maybe? :D (Tuesday would be ideal, but even I don't want to get my hopes up that high.) 

    Just, you know, in case anyone's listening...

  • I LOVE starting on Wednesday.  That's my day off and I stay in my jammies and play all day when that happens.  :-)

  • I have to admit, I do like the weekend tests because I get to test all day long...however, my house is really suffering from the lack of cleaning...so, I'd be all for the old staggered tests...start on Thurs/Fri and end late Sat/early Sun, or Start late Sat/early Sun and end on Mon/Tues.   Of course, there was a comment made a month or so ago that the game would start to be open more than 50% of the time...don't think we're seeing that yet...and of course when the game goes 24/7 all our preferences are moot...we all get to play when we want then.

    Although none of this is answering Julie's original question...my answer, I have no idea...

  • As I've said before, I'm hoping for one weekend day and two weekdays, since that seems like a fair compromise. So... THURSDAY!!! That's what I'm hoping for!
    Posted 18 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Or two each - two weekdays and two weekend days...that way both camps get two days...and the game is open more than 50% of the time during the week ;)

  • Sounds ideal to me BB Thursday to Sunday sounds like a plan ;) 

    Wednesday would be sooner though!
    Posted 18 months ago by Momo McGlitch Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Still early probably- wouldn't even think about looking for word until Tuesday, maybe Wednesday.

    Hope I'm wrong and they announce today :D

  • Thursday would be ideal for me, as that's my day off :) I miss out on a lot of play time on Saturdays, as I work all day Saturday. I really hope they let us know soon.

  • I think I'm going to end up missing all the tests for the next two months, this weekend I was away, next weekend I am away, the weekend after that I'm going camping for two weeks, and I might like Glitch but playing it in a tent is a wee bit extreme...

    I expect to see fabulousness and magical changes when I finally next get to test. >:)

  • Nobody has any idea I'm sure xP The Devs are probably still figuring out exactly what needs to be done based on the last test.  I doubt they could even guestimate how long it will take to fix everything / implement any new features on the agenda just yet.

  • @Julie... I have the absolute worst lag issues in Facebook, and few here. If you've ever tried chat there, you get a fair number of repeated messages, text spewing forth in huge batches, and frequent disconnects. You can sit back and watch people disconnect and reconnect, just watch their status change from green to grey and back again a few times and you'll see some of it. In the last week, updates can be up to 5 minutes between when I know a friend sitting next to me has posted something, and I actually see the post on my side.

    Glitch is using fab new super-joo-joo tech, and it's different than most anything out there. I agree there's a bottleneck, but don't think it's the server tech's fault.

    As for the next test time... my vote is ummm, when there are more skills?
    Posted 18 months ago by Travinara Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, had to chuckle at the FB never has lag comment...wow, she must be using a different FB than me...I have horrible issues on FB in probably the last couple months...

    I did see a comment on twitter, that the test would be soon...just wondering how TS defines 'soon'...
    Posted 18 months ago by ~Pink Flamingo~ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • To me, soon would be about 5 minutes time.
    :D 
    I hope my version of soon is the same as theirs. 
    *waits patiently* lol
    Posted 18 months ago by Ebil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • LOL soon is everything from 'reload the browser' to months. As close as I can figure, 'before too long' is anywhere between 3 months and 9.

    Have decided Julie is a walking good luck charm though :D Gonna go stand next to her so maybe some of her stable-facebook-aura spills into mine! (It actually happens like that, FB is very stable for some people but not for others).

  • Oops, correction - that was VERY soon...but was posted 14 hours ago...hoping you are right Ebil...twitter post is below...

    playglitchGlitch, the game
    @gchiurillo It's closed right now! Watch @isglitchopen for test announcements: we're open around 50% of the time. Next is very soon ...

  • man, my twitter feed is so long, i think i've seen one of those tweets ever. i'm lucky if i see 1/3 of my tweets i think!
    Posted 18 months ago by greenkozi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @greenkozi - lists, tweetdeck :)

    of course @Heathermomo/glitch didn't get the "very soon" tweet!

  • Later today, barring unforeseen circumstances, we will start a test running through Friday :)

  • All hail Cosma, Grendaline, Alph, Humbaba, Lem, Mab, Zille, Spriggan, Pot, Friendly, Tii, GOD and the devs!! A non-weekend test yippeeeee! (I am on summer vacation and my family gets seriously pissed off when the only times they spend time with me is the weekends and I am glued to my computer screen for 72 hours).

  • +1 @ eric... :)
    Posted 18 months ago by ~Pink Flamingo~ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • ah- lists, i always forget. and even with tweetdeck, you still only get the last 100 or 200 or something.

    @heathermomo thanks SO much for the list idea. i had to look at the help to get the column right on my tweetdeck, but it's perfect! thanks!

    but i guess bumpity bump works good, too ;)

  • Ack! (You play to much Glitch when you suddenly find yourself changing plans. Not much. Only slightly. But still.)

  • YAY! :D Happy now :D
    Posted 18 months ago by Ebil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • excellent news :D
    Posted 18 months ago by The Cat Face Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Heathermomo, I didn't get the tweet either since I'm not into that stuff, but you can read the list of tweets they send out on the @playglitch Twitter page... ;) I'm thinking I'll just bookmark it for now and continue to lurk there in between tests...

  • GRRRRRR ERIC!  I have an exam to take on Thursday and I will blame you for commenting on this thread which let me see the game will open later today so I already know that I will not get much studying down.  You singlehandedly failed my Chemistry class!

  • Amazing! Though I had the best intentions of Getting Things Done this week... but I guess the fact that my mid-week test prayers were answered trumps them! Thanks devs! I very nearly accomplished something, but you've saved the day!
    Posted 18 months ago by Tally Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh I forgot to say this because of my anger: Since this test is so close to the last one, maybe nothing big will be in it?  I'm not sure, but I would assume the length of time between the tests shows how many new things are entered.  Then again I could be wrong, I often am.  Maybe someone with more testing experience would know?

    lol @Tally!
    Posted 18 months ago by Laurali Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Whhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! We love you, eric!!!! :D

  • Laureli, we never know. I'd say there is no real pattern.  If I were to create ANY sort of pattern, it would be short tests (a few hours) tend to be server tests.

    It seems they launch stuff when stuff is ready for testing, not on any sort of schedule to build excitement or the like. 
    Posted 18 months ago by Lord Bacon-o Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks Lord Bacon-o.  I just assumed it would take them more time to add the big stuff then it would to do minor things, hence the longer waits in between tests.
    Posted 18 months ago by Laurali Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It could... but they have things they are working on all the time, not just between tests. So, for example, they've been working on group lodges* for awhile (I assume). Perhaps last week they said, "Well, almost ready. Just a couple of more days of tweaks. I'll work it on the weekend." So now, boom."

    Again, I am no dev and to not work for Tiny Speck (although I do write freelance, so if they need someone....).

     *THIS IS AN EXAMPLE. I HAVE NOT HEARD RUMORS THAT GROUP LODGES WILL BE LAUNCHED TODAY.

  • LOL @Lord Bacon-o, your freelance comment. I keep telling kevbob that if they want a proofreader...I'm RIGHT HERE lol :)

  • @Rascalmom, I am horrible at spelling and make tons of typos. They should hire us as a team.
    Posted 18 months ago by Lord Bacon-o Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I like the way you think, Lord Bacon-o :) And by the way, most writers are!
    Posted 18 months ago by RM Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Expecting: "BOOM UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES!" any minute..! ;)
    Posted 18 months ago by Hburger Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I wanna be part of the team too! I could be....a ... um.... moral support!

    make them Rascalmom.

  • I know. We are in our brains and think language and not words. It is often sound, not visual.

    (Hi everyone! You're listening to Writer Talk with Rascalmom and Lord B. We'll return you to Glitch Open Watch in just a few moments. Now a word from our sponsor - Tiny Speck! "We get you hooked! Look out for the Rook!")
