I've heard different information. In particular, I heard from a friend that the game goes out of beta on Thursday and that a reset will occur before then. Is this true? And if so, will this be a full or partial reset?
I am reasonably sure that launch/end of beta won't happen on Thursday. Reset will come shortly before launch. Reset means each of us, as players, lose all progress made so far (currants, xp, house, items, trophies). Very few things will survive the reset.

We just discussed it, and yes you can keep the bunnies :)
And back to the original question, everything gets wiped except:
• your avatar/customizations/owned clothes
• your credits balance
• your name
• your profile (anything you've filled out)
• your friends list
• a few custom/special items (yeti and bunny, so far)
Curious if the reset will occur prior to opening of the game or is it at the game opening to the public as that September time frame is quickly approaching.
I've become a bit bored with the game as have a few others that I know. Once the quest are done, all the skills done, the trophies obtained - there isn't much there to hold your attention. IMHO
Maybe because you feel you have "won" now that you have completed all the skills and quests in the game to date. That would be true and I understand how you would feel if this was a game of solitaire, a jigsaw puzzle or even a Hog. This game is still in beta and evolving. I don't think even the developer's know what is going to happen in this game 6 months or a year from now. New skills and quests of course, new worlds are being built every time the game opens. I look forward to what new tricks and thrills the game will have next. I have a lot of exploring to do still, places to go and new people to meet. I'm not bored, sometimes I get lazy and other times I want things I don't really need, but I'm not bored. This could be the reason I don't want to miss the game being opened and am always wondering "when will Glitch be open" so I don't miss out on the next new chapter of Glitch.
There is always plenty to do. Even if you have all of the Achievements (few, if any, do) you can still work your way up on the Leaderboards. You can also create your own Goals such as sending nono to everyone on your friends list or, even worse, send everyone a chicken - LOL!
One of my personal objectives is to rescue chickens from trees. This may seem silly to you but it is very important. You see, chickens really can't fly and, like cats, when they get in a tree, they can't get down. I try to rescue at least one chicken per test. This is dedicated to Beefcake who rescued one of my chickens and inspired me. Thanks Beefcake!
Glitch will be out of beta before October unless they have more setbacks. They will be constantly adding more new things to the game (mini games) and such to keep you busy. If you get bored try to break things in the game and report it to them. If you got some creativity toss up a forum post showing off your skills (mini game ideas, quests, etc.). The team does read the forums and they do take notes from players with great ideas to make the game better.
