  • Perhaps the devs would like a 3 day weekend too.
    :)

  • I remember someone saying that this hiatus would be slightly longer than usual, since there are some big changes coming up in the next test. I wouldn't be totally surprised if we didn't see a test next week at all. (Just speculation, though, I have no insider knowledge.)

  • From the @isglitchopen twitter "Now Glitch is closed again! This hiatus: a little longer than normal b/c we're finishing big new stuff. Did you dig the yoga frogs? Namaste."

    Big new stuff - sounds cool :)

  • It does sound cool and they totally deserve a good break...but oh my, I think the Clinic will be busy this week! Come get your Glitchodone ;)

  • That 'big new stuff' sounds big... and new.

  • Sounds like it will be 'stuff' too"!

  • These tests must be really hard on the North American players who work Monday - Friday.  It's been a while since a test ran into Sunday.

  • Well darn I missed the froggies and missing Glitch, what to do, what to do.  Games shouldn't be shut down for 3 day weekends, that's when they should up and running.  Oh Cupcake where are you?

    lol

  • I hope that they are enjoying the 3-day weekend and not working. I hate that the game is offline, but am willing to go into withdrawals in the hope that they are getting some much needed rest.

  • Marla:  They sure are!  Plus where I work they have an engine that blocks certain sites.  Since I started they've blocked games, music (including band sites), Amazon (reason:  "shopping"), and numerous other sites.  They obviously don't reason that some of us like to go online during our breaks.

    Ah well, what I appreciate is the ability to learn a skill even while you are not actually in the game.  I can set it to learn a skill that takes a particularly long amount of time while I'm sleeping or at work.  It will be a disappointment when they reset the game though.

  • From what I understand, the devs work on developing the game while it's down, and then rest more while the game is up as they (or rather, the users) test all changes implemented while the game was down. So... if the game is down, doesn't that mean the devs are more likely to be doing more work?
    Posted 19 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @cerulean, when the game is up there are usually a bunch of devs around, especially in the Live help, so unless they rotate, I think they work then as well.  The amazing kevbob always seems to be around helping when it is up, and so is stoot.
    Posted 19 months ago by riscy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, I know that, too. Which is why I'm confused because they seem to be working around the clock, lol. Such is the way of beta? I do hope they're taking some time to rest, though, too.
    Posted 19 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So any idea when Glitch is going to be open?
    Posted 19 months ago by xoxJulie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The devs worked way too hard and Glitch hugs to all of them ! How much ever I want glitch to be open, I will patiently wait for them to have their long and well deserved break * secretly hoping devs are glitch addicts to and have no life lol ;p, just kidding hehe * Have a great weekend devs !

  • Oh groan!  I really wanted to have the blockmaking skill when the next test came so I didn't switch to one of the longer ones before this test closed and now I'm sad!  I didn't realize it would be an extra long close period.  :(

  • It's been a while since a test ran into Sunday.

    Huh? We've had weekend tests running until Sunday evening 2 of the last 4 weeks, including last week.

    As for the next test, I predict it will not be until this coming Friday, but will run over the weekend again. But we have not set any firm times yet, so nothing is guaranteed.

  • ((HUG)) Thanks for that eric!

  • Next friday Glitch time ?  I was hoping for  this tuesday our time.  Like I don't already have a hard time with time real or otherwise. LOL
    Posted 19 months ago by xoxJulie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Awesome. Looking forward to losing another weekend!
    Posted 19 months ago by IUPmike Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Eric - Thanks for posting the info about the test; hope it will be open early Friday (or maybe before) and go thru the weekend. We just enjoy our time w/Glitch as you might have guessed.

  • The awesomers are the original Glitch addicts and we can all be very thankful for that.

  • Friday?  Friday?  Hmmmm ... I don't see a Friday on the Glitch calendar.  Oh.  You mean REAL calendars!  Oh (insert sad face here).  Well back to try to nail down some more info about subscriptions.
    Thanks for the info eric.  Hmmmm ... I don't remember the Sunday end of the test.  I'll chalk that up to the pain pills.  :P
    Posted 19 months ago by Marla Subscriber! | Permalink
  • No Glitch game day pain pills, I want some !
    Posted 19 months ago by xoxJulie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Both of you need some more Glitchadone. That is the antidote we all crave. It can be found in large quantities in the Glitchadone Clinic which can be gotten to within the Groups page. Ask for an invite if you need one.
    Posted 19 months ago by Holly Waterfall Subscriber! | Permalink
  • How is this Glitchadone administered?
    Posted 19 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • IV , I hope ...
    Posted 19 months ago by ~Scilly~ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Holly -- I am a member of the Glitchadone Clinic, but I meant real pain pills.  I had an operation May 17, came home May 19, and , brave little Beta tester that I am, played right through until the end.  Well except for naps, and food, and a bit of exercise and sleep ... but still...
    Posted 19 months ago by Marla Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Lmao, I meant more along the lines of what exactly is glitchadone and how does it help us get through the withdrawals? :P
    Posted 19 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm fine with waiting if it means the dev's are getting a weekend of time off and then working on the game.  They deserve time off - this can't be an easy process for them. 

    As for Glitchadone... I need some. I've got withdrawals.  Actually, that's not quite true. I'm just a curious kitty who wants to play more.  >o.o<

    Oh! That gives me an idear....

  • Cerulean, this substance is puffed into the Clinic; it's an inhalant:) I guess we just have good imaginations in there!
    Posted 19 months ago by RM Subscriber! | Permalink
  • ok, it's started: the compulsive checking to see if the game is opening a day earlier than we were told. or maybe, that friday meant australia time, even though i'm on the same time as the devs.

    and then, the calming myself down that i wouldn't be able to play till this evening, anyway. and then telling myself that i'm on a trip, to see family, and that wouldn't be social.

    and THEN finding myself going back to the ridiculous thread about addiction.  and then... i'm an addict. and not just to diet coke.
    Posted 19 months ago by greenkozi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @greenkozi: no shame in being addicted to Diet Coke ;]

    I didn't realize tomorrow was Friday until the first thing I got IMed today was "GLITCH IS OPEN TOMORROW!!!", so, time to wait (im)patiently. I usually refresh this page for the forums every 15 minutes or so anyway.

  • It's opening tomorrow????? Who said?? Don't you get my hopes up!!!!! :P

  • @ Nayme - scroll up and read eric's post :)
    Posted 19 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • ooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay for Staff posts ^^
    Posted 19 months ago by Nayme Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @milx: no shame, maybe, but it's sure not healthy. i've got myself down to one a day, but i let myself drink one of any size... super big gulp included. kind of like saying i've got myself down to one session of glitch a day.... that lasts 10 hours ;)
    Posted 19 months ago by greenkozi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The rumor mill has it the game will be open on Fryday.  The only thing I've been told was at the end of the week.  

    Which is what RT or GT?

    I was really hoping it was open right this very minute so I wouldn't annoy myself and everyone else just prattling on in the forum.  LOL  
    Posted 19 months ago by xoxJulie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • They usually speak in Real Time since not all of us are fluent in the mechanics of the game calendar. I'm kind of glad they're opening it on Friday so as to provide mroe balanced gameplay, since most of us are usually available on weekends whereas a lot of us work during the week and aren't available to play until after work.

    Although all work and no play make Cerulean something something...
    Posted 19 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • but it could open today - I mean I really wouldn't have a problem with that. Like now would be a good time to open? 
    Posted 19 months ago by Wren Bramble Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Or now?
    Posted 19 months ago by Not IxAEoN Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Cerulean - go crazy?
    Posted 19 months ago by Magic Monkey Subscriber! | Permalink
  • no wonder the glitchodone hasn't worked for me- wrong delivery system :)

    @cerulean- let's keep this forum clean. we know work is a dirty word.
    Posted 19 months ago by bored no more Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I can't play over the weekend because I'll be out of town, so opening today would be awesome...
    Posted 19 months ago by Shepherdmoon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • xxxing fingers here SM!!!!
    Posted 19 months ago by Pirate Apples Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That does it. Since Shepherdmoon will be out of town, I demand that Glitch opens right now so they can play.

    We can't let Shepherd down!!! D:

    (.....Did it work?)
