Sometime next week, as this is a long weekend in Canada, per the isglitchopen twitter site:
isglitchopenGlitch, The Game
Aaaaaaaaand, shut. Phew. Next test, next week. It's a long weekend in (some parts of) Canada - yay! (posted 15 hours ago)
And the status on our homepages tells us it won't be open this weekend: A weekend, Glitchless, is a sad one indeed,
but we've sleep to catch up on and babies to feed.
So we will be back just as soon as you know,
and then we can get back to making things grow!
Dear devs - I hate that red sign
I really want to play with that Glitch of mine.
So open your doors as soon as you can
and we will be happy glitchy women and men!
-last line doesn't rhyme - hmm I'm NOT a poet and I didn't now it :-D
If we can go sleepless, showerless, and foodless for 3 days at a time, the devs should be able to train their babies to do the same. ;)

Bummer, bummer, my day is glummer,
Without a fix for Glitchy itch.
I rouse and browse and wish for youse,
To beepen' open up my den!
(only then I can achieve my Zen)
(And yes, I do think of Glitch as my home, my safe den. Anyone else feel the same?)
Bubble, bog or a simple BBQ
Anxiously we seek access to you
Flogan Shames and Pachi Preach
And all the streets we need to reach
Martial imagination to fight the rook
Recipes that we need to cook
Maybe we forgot to fill the piggy feeder
Or we were nearly a Johnny Aniseeder
So much to see and so much to do
How on earth do I find Corridor 2
Stoot, Kevbob or Kukubee
Let us in, we beg of thee
I need my Glitch so gimmi please
dont you be a great big tease
i aint learning no skill just now
and in my garden I need to sow
I need to sort out all my bags
just hope there`s a lot less lag
I am not complaining stoot my love
i would play no matter what
so hear my pray the ones above
but I can wait till you say thats that
we can open up to let them play
but hurry up I want it today
I miss my friends and community too
and believe it or not picking up poo.
@Tricky Woo: Wow, excellent poetry in your second language! Consider me deeply impressed, dear friend. Hats off to you!
The devs'll say soon
They'll grant us a boon.
The doors they will open
Just like we're hopin'.
Then I will say thlop
And Glitch till I drop.
Then my friend, bored,
My vapours I'll hoard.
Achievements to chase,
Smiles on my face.
But I can wait
Till they open the gate
'Cause we all know
The awesome will grow.
Friends I will see
And naked I'll be!
The sign says its closed
Have the devs been Alphosed?
For keeping us away from our purple fix
We should teleport them straight to Ix
Next test we will steal all the hooch
And never again give Stoot a mooch
and if we see a sleeping Kevbob
Maybe we will pelt him with piggy plop
Unless the sign goes thlop
Otherwise we will be in a strop
And the first one to say 'shoon'
Will get to see my bear's moon
The poems are really cool, but the main question has yet to be answered. What day are we going to be open again?
I love Glitch but hate the secondary game of when will Glitch be open. I still believe we should get an approximate date before game endings, for the next opening.
Does anyone have any idea of next game day opening?
xoxJulie, nothing been said yet. But I can tell you based on stuff I've heard and seen them write, I don't think all the devs even know when it's going to open (nor when it's going to close as one of them asked ME what I'd heard one test LOL and said, "I really should know this, huh?"). So you know...if they aren't sure, they can't really tell us:)
We know tomorrow is a holiday.
I imagine they actually ALL took the weekend off.
Last test was a lot of server stuff... so I imagine (not being a coder at all) that means you end up with a lot of data/numbers then need to be looked at and then you have to do what ever changes those results tell you. (As opposed to tests that are implementing a new gameplay element were it is to sort out bugs and if they are fun, which, if things go well, would seem like less work post-test.)
So my ABSOLUTELY BASED ON NOTHING GUESS is Thursday at the earliest.
Ah, yes, Lord Bacon-o.... you made me run to the calendar, and I see that in Canada it is the "Civic Holiday" tomorrow. I don't know how big of a holiday that is, but there are no devs that I see online right now, which is a good indicator they are not working this weekend. Also, we have had new skill spoilers suggesting something big is coming in the next test with the Rook, so I suspect it will take them some time to get that ready for us. I would also guess Thursday, plus or minus a day.
I see they're based in Vancouver, so they're celebrating BC Day with the rest of us :) I'm not sure what it is in the other parts of the country, maybe other provinces/territories celebrate their founding tomorrow too.
FYI British Columbia British Columbia Day [statutory holiday, first Monday of August] Manitoba Civic Holiday [first Monday of August] New Brunswick New Brunswick Day [statutory holiday, first Monday of August] Newfoundland and Labrador Civic Holiday / Regatta Day [fixed by municipal council orders] Northwest Territories Civic Holiday [statutory holiday, first Monday of August]
Nova Scotia Natal Day [first Monday of August, except in Halifax where it varies from year to year, usually August or July] Nunavut Civic Holiday [statutory holiday, first Monday of August] Ontario Civic Holiday / Simcoe Day [first Monday of August] Prince Edward Island Natal Day [by proclamation, usually on first Monday of August] Quebec ? Saskatchewan Saskatchewan Day / Civic Holiday [statutory holiday, first Monday of August] Yukon ?
Let me know when your time machine is finished I'll volunteer for first ride, then I can find out when the darg game will open and come back and let everybody know including the dev's. I did read somewhere closed next weekend so I sure hope it opens up before thursday if Glitch is going to be closed next weekend. I better go find something do to before I drive everybody crazy.
I was entirely expecting to see the following in Stormy's list:
... Prince Edward Island Natal Day [by proclamation, usually on first Monday of August] Quebec ? Saskatchewan Saskatchewan Day / Civic Holiday [statutory holiday, first Monday of August] Yukonprofit!
Itchy is right. I've been playing Virtual Farm 2 (download game) to try to take the edge off - boring, but simple farming is soothing, and it doesn't crash my puter like more better games do...
