Launch Date?

Read in someone else's post that 'since launch is so near how are you going to react' or something...

Am I missing something? I thought there was still no word?

Hope there is though... anyone able to enlighten me?? :D

  • I think it's an ever infinite 5-6 weeks right now. ;)

  • You missed nothing. 2 weeks or so ago, stoot said, in regards to something random, that RESET was AT LEAST six weeks away.

    AT LEAST.

    So "an ever infinite 5-6 weeks" seems accurate.

  • I found a thread from 5 months ago where Stoot said launch is "so soon." Just saying.

  • I heard 8 weeks when I first asked the question, which was several months ago.

    Seems to be coming nearer but never getting any closer all at the same time.

    "Good lord! Enough! We'll just give more to everyone who has 100 or less (or something like that). Reset is so soon anyway …

  • 100 or less what?

  • he said reset, not launch. there was a reset shortly after I joined in March, I just can't remember exactly when.

  • about 5-6 weeks from now there will be a reset. i belive its their last reset. soo the release date should be " soon "

  • (we're 98% sure there will only be one more reset, and it won't happen for at least 6 weeks)." stoot said on Sat. 7/16/2011.

  • Oh noooooooooo. Lmao. Well my point was that I've heard LAUNCH would be "soon" since I joined about 3 months ago and... well, we all know "soon" means "IT COULD BE ANYTIME," lol, but it might be forever.

    "At least 6 weeks" includes: 7 weeks from now, 7 years from now, and forever from now.

  • It's 6 weeks from whenever you ask. 

    Or....when stoot says GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • You know… on a galactic timescale the launch may as well have already happened, it's so close to now!
    Posted 17 months ago by Skwid Subscriber! | Permalink
  • "(we're 98% sure there will only be one more reset, and it won't happen for at least 6 weeks)"

    So, another 4 weeks until reset, and then a final run through bug-squashing marathon (another 4-6 weeks minimum, so people can reach a reasonably high level), then a couple weeks for hype and launch would be somewhere around… Late October, or November.

  • I thought I read that Reset was said to be "At least 2 or 3 days" before main launch?

    I doubt it will be 4-6 weeks of In Between.
    Posted 17 months ago by Biohazard Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Launch is suppose to happen within a few days after the reset (if there does end up being only one more reset)

    I remember reading the thread that the quote that I posted came from...I just can't find the original thread (I really hate trying to search for things...always end up with a kajillion hits no matter how I word it...UGH!!!) 

    I can hardly wait for launch...but, then again, I'm kinda hopin' that it won't happen so soon.
    Reasons being are:
    I really want to be able to play anytime I feel like it without having to wait for it to open and yet, otoh, I love beta-ing  this awesome, awesome game :D

  • I just assumed that "Launch" and "reset" were different events and that a deletion of character data would happen at both (since it's a given it will happen at Launch). There are still some pretty major flaws in the game mechanics that need to be fixed, adjusted, then rebalanced. That being said I suppose they could simply start inviting more people into the beta to see how the lower level adjustments are working while those of us who've been in for a while test the higher level stuff.

  • Cerulean, yes. I think mostly for connivence for TS then any sort of "let's give the betas a leg up!" I assume they'd just rather not have everything come slamming at once.
    Posted 17 months ago by Lord Bacon-o Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I am in favor of this little convenience, then. ;D
    Posted 17 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • just read stoot's responses more carefully and found this little nugget:

    "And there is zero chance of 24/7 operation before launch (unless you meant literally just 24 hours a day for a full week — we've done one of those in the past and will do another before launch). "

    I wonder if they are still planning a full week. also wonder if my coffeepot and computer could handle the strain.

  • I had read "this summer" or "September" as release estimates. I hope it's not a forever-more-distant release date. I'm now too invested in this game, this community, to wait much longer than that.
    Posted 17 months ago by Widdershins Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sure do hope so, bored...I really need a full week of "screw rl...I'm playing Glitch!!" sometime soon lol
    Posted 17 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Haha bored!

  • Early fall would mean.... no sleep for me on weekends.  Because there's lots I'd want to do, and I'm teaching an advanced legal research class in the fall.  Which means big busy at work.

  • It's fun to talk about the launch, but I don't care when it really happens. I'm playing now, and I'll play differently when the launch comes. I'll apply what I've learned.... It's all good.

  • +1 sakmet. as long as I get my fix, I'm happy. this is really just something to fill the void

  • The launch will happen when the staff feels that they're ready to launch.  I'm sure that they have certain goals, and will launch when those goals have been met.  Launching before they're ready would potentially be calamitous, and that's not what we want, right?  In the mean time, let's think of more things to do with very, very stinky cheese.  Floor wax?  Dessert topping?

  • I can't tell you the exact date we'll launch (since it is not yet known) but I can 100% guarantee it will be in the future.

  • But, but, stoot - the future's always in the future, never in the present, so GLITCH IS NEVER LAUNCHING!

  • Jasbo, you don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power to go back to the future....You had to find the magic for yourself...
