  • Oh Funky....I am thinking the same thing.  Then I was thinking.........when does the game open up? I paid, and I just realized I have no clue when the game opens for good.

    o.O

  • Currently, it seems they do (or try to do) about one test a week, be it longer like this one, or shorter, but we can't ever be sure when it will be up again until the devs give us a heads up. They work really hard at putting in new things to be tested each time it's up, and sometimes can't give us a certain date, or even if they do give a certain date, it may or may not happen exactly when they say. It sounds like we get a lot more notice of when it will be up now than people did in alpha and the beginning of beta.

    In regards to the game opening 24/7: a dev mentioned in another thread somewhere that the game is probably at least 6 weeks (maybe 5-6 by now?) from opening fully. I think if anyone can pinpoint the date (devs included) they must be endowed with some sort of foresight of the kind this world has never seen before.

    As for paying- getting a subscription this early means you get its benefits for a good month or two before it actually starts counting down. So you'll get 13-14 months for the price of 12 (on top of the extra discounts they made for beta players: insanity!). So even though you don't know -when- it will open fully, you can know you will get full beneifts + some despite all the down time now. :)  Besides, how cool is it to be in closed beta and be able to give early feedback?

  • Oh, done tons of closed betas before. Feedback is very important, I agree.

    Dont mind me. Just had to go to a birthday party for my mom tonight, and missed the closing :(  I was really looking forward to playing more, LOL

  • According to their Facebook post, looks like the next test is scheduled to start
    Friday 7/29

  • Well put, Little Miss Giggles.  I'll just add that while everyone wants to be able to play all the time, it's probably best that we not fill the forums with more "please open!" posts, as there are already hundreds (thousands?), and I'm sure the staff has enough to read already. 

    On a vaguely related note: if you're a new player, it's a good idea to skim older threads on the forums, just to see what's already been posted.  It's usually better to add to an old thread than to start a new one.

  • AHHHHH 7/29 is the day before my birthday!! Early birthday present??  Of course, I probably wouldn't be playing too much since it would be my birthday, and I have to move out that Friday into my new apartment as well.  But it would still be cool and I might have to organize a birthday party.

  • so does anyone really know when its back up
    Posted 17 months ago by Funkyman2818 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • http://www.facebook.com/playglitch   If you read down a bit on what is the top post as I link this, you will read that they are aiming for Friday.   "Glitch ‎*aiming for the Friday in July!"
    Posted 17 months ago by JW Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, I totally agree, Innie! I think I missed the last bit of the first test I was able to play (and I got invited like... a day after a test closed).

    And to Funkyman2818, I shall reiterate (as an addition to what JW said about the Facebook post mentioning Friday):

    ... sometimes [they] can't give us a certain date, or even if they do give a certain date, it may or may not happen exactly when they say.

    So as JW said, they stated in a Facebook post that they are aiming for Friday, but that doesn't mean it won't be Saturday or Thursday (vain hope) instead. There's no such thing as "really knowing when" until the moment of it saying "Enter World" without the "Currently Closed" sign over it. All you'll get from anyone, even devs, will be phrases along the likes of "aiming for", "probably", "trying to" or the dreaded "soon". So take any time given with a grain of salt and hope for the best. :)

  • Or if you're more into Twitter: @isglitchopen and @playglitch.

    I don't know why people even bother to ask this everytime, because all this information is in the "You're invited!" e-mail...

  • The plan is to test from Wednesday (tomorrow) to Friday, San Francisco time.

    Not one "soon" in there, just for you Nutmeg! :)

  • i hope it starts at one of these times: tommorow, thursday or friday.

    btw i saw some people playing it right now. why??
    Posted 17 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @GiaTori - those people you see playing right now are most like devs and other Tiny Speckers.....

  • Lovely Jubbly!!

  • Ooh, I picked a good week for a staycation, I see ;) Thanks for lack of the "S" word, P_R!
    Posted 17 months ago by RM Subscriber! | Permalink
  • i just saw what the devs wrote. next test starts tommorow?!?!
    i have no clue about testing times. i just started playing last test. could someone help here?
    Posted 17 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ GiaTori - check out this link in the bugs section.  A good place to start! + welcome to Glitch!
    Posted 17 months ago by Stormy Weather Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Gia, only the devs know when the tests are. They announce openings on Twitter and Facebook, but here on the forums they often tell a little sooner (like Pepper_Rose did).

    I've only played a few tests. The game was open for about 3-4 days and closed again for 6-7 days. But it's really up to the devs when they open it and for how long. Just keep an eye on the forums :)
    Posted 17 months ago by Victoria Subscriber! | Permalink
  • thanks stormy and victoria! i hope it opens tommorow.
    Posted 17 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Tomorrow San Fransisco time (PDT) that is...

    You might find this website helpful, I use it all the time to translate PDT to my own timezone: www.worldtimebuddy.com/?lid...

  • Thank you Pepper_Rose for the new open time! I'm so excited!

    The only downside? The playtest will actually open before my Better Learning V finishes. Unexpected! Do I switch skills when things open, or do I just feed a bunch of Favor points to it and do other things besides quests for a while? GLITCH MEANS UNLIMITED CHOICE Y'ALL
    Posted 17 months ago by Vortexae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • i would spend favor points if the skill is not done by then. better learning is a good skill!
    Posted 17 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Wow, I was just thinking it would be cool if they actually opened EARLIER than they told us, just to mix it up a bit...so cool that you are...but I guess that means, tonight I have to get all my housework done since I've got company coming on Friday...ack!
    Posted 17 months ago by b3achy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Agreed, GiaTori re: Vortexae's choice. I didn't finish those BL ones first off, but it's a wise maneuver! I'll be doing that asap after reset.
    Posted 17 months ago by RM Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Pepper, it would be nice if you make a new staff thread to give the opening dates.  A lot of people ignore these "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" threads.
    Posted 17 months ago by larky lion Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, feeding Favor points to Better Learning seems like the no-brainer choice, since it should cause other skills to finish more quickly -- which is really useful when the next playtest will only last about 2 days!

    (And a big Hello! to Rascalmom especially - we crossed paths at new streets projects quite a bit last week! What fun!)

  • lol I've read this thread before, but when I came to the forums, I misunderstood the title. So of course I thought...

  • I'm still trying to figure out what "Wednesday Pacific Time" means... Does that mean when it turns Wednesday in San Francisco? i.e. at 1:00 AM Mountain Time? SHOULD I STAY UP ALL NIGHT Y/Y
    Posted 17 months ago by Vortexae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • No, don't stay up all night. Rest up while you can, and it should start sometime on Wednesday. Last time started close to noon Pacific Time. 
    Posted 17 months ago by Widdershins Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yoooooou can't stop me! I'll stay up all night if I wanna! You're not the bossuvme!
