Hi everyone. What follows is my thoughts on a very important issue, getting people to play glitch.
As some of you know, I was one of the first alpha testers. I started playing glitch almost a year and a half ago. Since the beginning, I have loved the game and enjoyed it (DONT POST THAT LINK!). However, I have noticed recently that while I always have a skill going, I spend much much less time in game. I was curious as to why this is, and I have pondered it for a few weeks. The issue is not that the game is boring, because once I am in game, I can play for 6+ hours straight without getting bored. So what is the issue? I thought it might be the looming threat of a reset and the fact that whatever I do now will be lost in a few months. But that's not really the issue either. I realized today what it is. There is almost nothing to draw me into the game when it is open and I am not already in. The last three times I have been in game were the opening of Jethimadh Tower Base, to explore Chakra Phool after a forum discussion made me realize I had never been there, and when Baqala opened. I have not been in this week, because as far as I can tell, there is nothing really new or exciting.
TL;DR: Glitch, despite its awesome gameplay, is not doing enough to draw people into the game when they are not already in game.
