#### Test

I'm confused: was yesterday's test the test in its entirety, or was it a pre-test to another test?

- I think it was a small sneaky unofficial test for the subways. And now everyone else is waiting around for the official test test to start....

- Alright, thanks!

- Yesterday's short test was to test behind the scenes technical stuff - servers & storage, and for us to enjoy subways. Longer one (~48 hours?) happing later in the week, with a possibility of it starting today. Btw, when we say short, we mean 4-5 hours long.

- I know; I was there. Good thing they were testing the servers, because that crash would've been much more annoying during a "real" test.

- Anyone else find themselves checking to see if the world is open on a really frequent and regular basis?

- I've said many times before, but not to the new people who joined since that big test a while ago:
  That red sign *will* start to mock you. Harshly. Just you wait. :P

- Sooo.... my 2.5 year old will be gone to Nanna's Friday, so the game needs to be open. I am gonna need y'all to have the game open during that time. All day Friday and Saturday morning. Additional time would be great- but the crucial time, you see, is Friday all day and Saturday morning.Thanks for understanding.
  P.S. To recap - Friday and Saturday- game needs to be open. Thanks so much.

- Grr, people on facebook are posting on Glitch's wall and are getting aggravated, just 24 hours before the last test finished. Wow, they have no idea what it's been like for us for the last couple of months testing and waiting wise. I hope they're in it for the feedback and bug squishing, not just the gameplay :/
  Posted 23 months ago by Hburger | Permalink
- Just for your information Hburger YES we are in it for the help we can give to the makers of this wonderful new game. I have given out feed back and reported glitches [ excuse the pun] So have other people I know. What on earth is wrong with a bit of playful banter on face book. Is not the time to complain when no one cares when there is a "next test" As far I see people on FB are not behaving in a aggravated manner at all. I see lots of pleases and thankfulness to the makers of Glitch.
  I for one am not in to smash and grab game play and don't like being grouped as such. Thank you :)
  PS glad you like my idea for BEER lol :P

- Well... It's a good way to test how addictive the game is... ;)

- We only intended to get the deep tissue massage, but as these things go … one thing led to another … and the next thing you know, we're getting chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and now we're heading over to soak in a hot mineral bath.
  Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds.
  We'll let you know when we start feeling better … but as of now, there's no firm ETA.

- Thanks for the stand down @jdawg. My snowday hopes are now put aside.
  Annnd, looks like someone is revving up their engines, "In the game right now exploring The Amazing Race!" instead of off to the mineral springs. More teasing!

- Just remember, during the Great Silence there was no game for TWO MONTHS!

- I can understand not having a firm ETA, but is there at least a firm EDA (estimated day of arrival?)

- Sigh... I guess computer programming takes as long as it takes, at least if you want to do it right. From what little I can infer from their code these guys do it right. This is what I keep telling myself as I compulsively shift-reload waiting for game open :p

- just curious... of all the glitch addicts here, who would pay money to be able to start playing right now?
  Posted 23 months ago by en | Permalink
- Honestly while still testing NO. When finished and running %100 YES absolutely. That is coming from some one who would never EVER pay to play something on line.
  Posted 23 months ago by Misha | Permalink
- I'd be interested to know what the actual issues are - but I'm guessing the game's proprietary, and proprietary coders tend not to like discussing their code.
  @en: I wouldn't pay to start playing now. I consider it an exercise in patience.

- why this week's test almost didn't happen:
  GOD: What are you all doing here? Who let you in!?
  GOD: I did my best to ensure there would not be a test this week...
  GOD: I crashed Game Servers. I trashed RAID arrays. I destroyed DNS servers. I nitpicked designs to death!
  GOD: YES, my powers are absolute and all-encompassing. I even gave pink eye to people's kids! FEAR ME!
  GOD: But, since you are already here, I suppose you may stay.
  GOD: For 15 more minutes. You are welcome!
  need to play for 15 more minutes!

- Dear God, RAID *is* an array. I know you are omnipotent and what not, but since I didn't get to play I am railing against you.
  Amen.
