On the EOTW, and its approaching rebirth. (aka The Next Test)

You guys really threw down on Wednesday. Whoa. We were glued to our screens with a sense of wonderment and, at times, mischievous glee as you dumped all of your possessions and battered against the very limits of the game. Huzzah! For the nostalgia-prone amongst you and for those who missed out, links to some stunning screenshots:

Emblem mountain in Feman Falters
Chain of orbs in Valia Shede
Discovery of floating cubimals
The party that choked hell 

Now, on to the next test. Couldn't help but notice all the cries of WWIO around here, and thought, "What the heck, why don't we just put them out of their misery."  

So: We are aiming to open on Tuesday (September 20th) - OPEN NOW

What are you in for? Your future is bright, your pockets are light. You'll go through the tutorial one last time and you'll decide which of several streets in Groddle you'll resurface on to seal your reincarnation. And *we* will be glued to our screens once more.

  • I'm hoping that it will be very early afternoon so the UK players will get a chance to join in the fun without staying up to the early hours again or missing out on such an important occasion? Please?!

  • Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou for the date!  I now know how to allocate my grad school reading for the week.  (Not kidding.  It's actually been very therapeutic to get lost in Glitch in between the heavy think-imafying.)

    Posted 15 months ago by magic panda Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Blanky...I keep reading that the game will close, again, after it opens this next time - is this true?
    Posted 15 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Bring it on....Am ready..yessss!!... :D xx
    Posted 15 months ago by Cryztal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hey sgjo: in case Blanky doesn't answer, you can draw your own conclusions by reading her original post above and noting that she called it a "test".
    Posted 15 months ago by Shepherdmoon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • WhooHoo! No more wondering, just expectation!
    Thank you Blanky!

    All hail Glitch's poet laureate.  

    Looking forward to Monday (how often does THAT happen?).

  • Shepherd...I kinda took it to mean that we'll be able to play for a bit before more invites are sent out - haven't read where any staff have mentioned the game going down, again (except for rare times when maintenance is needed), after it opens this time.
    Posted 15 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • In another thread, they said that the game would close down between the last test until launch a which would be a few days later or more, I believe. It was written some time ago, and I don't remember exactly which thread it was in.

  • Thanks for giving us a heads up for Monday!! I guess that means I better start going through my wardrobe with determination!

    @jasbo -- "looking forward to Monday" heehee, I do it a lot, as hubby goes back to work on Mondays and I don't have to open my shop until Tuesdays. No husband + no customers = PLAYTIME!!!
    Posted 15 months ago by kastlin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @sgjo: so sorry, I can't find a link to the exact post, but please trust me: I distinctly remember hearing from Stoot that there would be one test in between the reset and when we go live (going "live" means we are open 24/7, per his definition, so this means the test will not be a part of that). During that post he promised that the test would be at least one day but may be as long as a week (if memory serves me). As Little Miss Giggles said, it was a long time ago, so that's why we can't find the post. But it's still in our memories, which is why you're hearing so many people say it...
